Astoundingly beautiful, Okami is a truly epic game.
You assume the role of Amaterasu, a Japanese wolf God and have a small companion named Issun. Together you must restore life to a world tainted by evil. The world is massive and truly sucks you in with its beauty.
The graphics, however, are only one side of the game. The real attraction is the Celestial Brush, which adds great depth to the gamepley, by allowing you to use a number of powers to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies and complete puzzles. The minigames are also fun and will keep you entertained in between long quests. The game challenges you to think with its free-roam world and lets you play at your own pace. You can choose to go straight through the main quest or take your time exploring the beautiful Nippon.
The combat is a little too easy and may begin to seem repetitive, but the Celestial Brush adds a whole different take on the combat and prevents this from pulling the game down. Okami will easily keep you entertained for hours and hours on end.
