@gleencross: Clover games made Okami and Viewtiful Joe. I wouldn't call them a one trick pony, but they're definitely not what I would call "diverse" either.
@Legend_of_Link: XBC2 can be very dense and complex, especially in the beginning. Okami is much less stressful and way more pleasant to experience. Both are great but Okami is timeless, especially if you like Zelda.
@deactivated-5a411408acdf8: It's a Zelda style game based on the teachings of Shintoism. The wolf is the physical manifestation of Amaterasu the goddess of the sun. The game is about bringing light back to a world swallowed by darkness. It's a Zelda style game with a timeless art style, that's all that really matters.
@DAOWAce: I grew up playing Star Fox and PS1/2 games that were all <=30 FPS. It was fine then, and it's fine now (except for shooters and racing games because obviously).
@Thanatos2k: Well, the devs broke off and became Platinum Games. So at least some good came out of it. Also, Okami sold like shit when it first came out so that's not a huge surprise.
