Capcom; 2008
Okami is a 2008 Wii port / remake of the critically acclaimed 2006 PS2 artsy action adventure title. It features gameplay in the same vein as the more recent entries in the Legend of Zelda series, and sports a pretty, original art style that is reminiscent of traditional Japanese art. The player controls a sun goddess in the shape of a white wolf (Amaterasu) whose goal is the restoration of life to a demon-cursed world. The Wii version has been updated with slight graphical tweaks and the requisite motion controls. I haven’t started playing it yet (it’s still sealed), but it’s going into the queue until I clear a few more open games. This is one that I’ve been dying to play since it came out on the PS2, but I haven’t got around to it yet.

I really want to pick this up for PS2. I played a demo version and it rocks. Such a pretty looking game. And interesting game play.
