The world is your canvas...
When Okami arrived in the post way back in January this year we were expecting nothing more than a run-of-the-mill, albeit quirky, action adventure, but after playing it solidly for many hours we we’re totally blown away by the quality of the game’s abstract visuals, enchanting ancient Japanese music, unique gameplay ideas and excellent presentation and production values. Check out our video review hereAccording to Eurogamer, Wii owners are now set to experience this glorious game in Spring 2008.
Ôkami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the forces of evil that stand in the way by commanding the elements and mythical abilities the deity possesses. The heroine of Okami is Amaterasu, a goddess who takes the form of a wolf. To restore the world back to its former glory, Amaterasu needs to revive the Guardian Saplings, a species of supernatural tree that has indoctrinated the land. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, players utilise the inventive control scheme to overcome the challenges and evil that awaits.
The artwork in the game is on a par with the greatest Japanese anime films, but in Okami you also get to become the painter; using your celestial brush to draw on a canvas in order to solve puzzles and perform miracles. There's no prizes for guessing that the Wii-mote will be used as the celestial brush, which should really draw you into the game and make it even more magical than the PS2 version.
