If you fancy a different kind of game experience this summer you won't to go far wrong with the Japanese action adventure Okami.

When the PS2 version was released we were blown away by the quality of the game’s abstract visuals, enchanting ancient Japanese music, unique gameplay ideas and excellent presentation. In the game traditional Japanese art comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolour-like calligraphy art.

The game takes elements from a number of genres - action, adventure, platforming RPG - and fuses them together to create an addictive game that feels as though you’ve just starred in your own classic Japanese anime film. Okami is ambitious, bold, striking and an experience that we’re not going to forget in a long time.

In Okami you get to become a painter. Using your celestial brush you can draw on a canvas in order to solve puzzles and perform miracles. On PS2 you'd simply use your joy pad to draw sections of missing bridges or turn night into day by drawing a picture of the sun, but the Wii version will utilise the Wii-mote motion sensing capability, which should make the experience even better.

With approximately 35 hours of gameplay time, Okami is sure to be worth the cash when it hit shelves on June 13, 2008.
