Nah, PCSX2 can't do Okami justice. If you played with the hardware renderer, which I'll assume you did if you said it was clear, you get everything nice and crisp but lose some of the overlay effects (which were apparently gruesome hacks by the devs) and most, if not all, of the post processing. Software mode is fairly accurate, but it still doesn't capture the original bloom and only runs at potato resolutions. Ammy actually glows in software mode, for example.

If you go back to a PS2 now you'll see what I mean, especially from hardware mode. Such a beautiful game, and emulation just doesn't do it justice.
Yeah, we noticed that the overlays didn't work properly and we had to look at vids to view the missing artwork normally displayed during story segments, but compromise is as compromise does. And that's emulation in a nutshell - but better than not being able to experience old titles at all.
