I have not update this page for a long time cos I have not played serious PS2 games lately. But now it is different.Okami is 2006 PS2 game from CAPCOM and produced by Clover Studios.Clover is headed by Atsushi Hinaba.It is a great game with unique gameplay.The main character is a wolf by the name of Amataresu (Ammy). She is accompany by a bug-artist, Innu.
The main story is Ammy is summoned to save Japan by killing Orochi, the 8 headed monster.Her main weapon is with a paint-brush.Weapons are drawn on demons and enemies.
Check out the videos here of its gameplay.
The gameplay involved puzzle solving, treasure hunting, demon killing & lots of drawing.If you like dogs/wolf and unique gameplay, get it.
Okami won IGN's Best adventure Award in 2006.Why ?
Why It Rocked: Clover Studios' cell-shaded canine adventure takes the classic Zelda setup and blurs everything together with a magic paintbrush. It has a fantastic mix of puzzle solving, interesting battles and grand adventuring, all tied together via an engaging and unique story. When we think of the best adventure games around, size and scope immediately come to mind, and Okami is anything but small. With villages abound, fields aplenty, numerous dungeons to explore and secrets around every corner, OKAMI is about as epic as they come.What really makes Okami great is its excellent art style and the gameplay mechanics that perfectly tie into it. The celestial brush is a wholly unique tool that gives gamers the power to literally shape the world around them. Whether repainting a broken bridge, connecting stars, slicing through enemies or brightening the sky by literally drawing in the sun, you're constantly interacting with the world in numerous ways. The only disappointing thing about the game is now that Clover is closed, we won't be seeing a sequel.- IGN
Sidenote: In fact, I saw this game long time ago but somehow reluctant to pick it up.Once I started the game, I cannot put it down.Its really a good game.
