Okami (Wii)

Okami tells the story of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun god, who takes the form of a wolf and sets out on an amazing journey to restore a ruined, darkened world into a beautiful place full of life and color. Commanding the elements and various magical abilities, the player uses Okami's signature "Celestial Brush" to revitalize life and defeat the tyrannical and destructive monster Orochi, effectively "painting" on the screen with the Wii Remote. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, Okami comes alive on Wii with its awe-inspiring art style and scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art.

Innovative gameplay and control scheme optimized for the Wii - Defeating monsters requires both motion-controlled physical attacks, but also use of the Wii Remote as Amaterasu's 'Celestial Brush' to paint the desired powers for decimating enemies and solving puzzles. Create and destroy at will - Play as a god to re-establish order and beauty to a world laid barren by evil. Intense action-packed battles - Rooted in Japanese folklore, fight against a diverse line-up of demons and monsters. Utilize various gameplay styles - In addition to the Celestial Brush, Amaterasu can wield three types of offensive weaponry, each with their own unique abilities and effects. Depending on how a weapon is equipped, it can be used as the main or sub weapon: Reflectors - These well-balanced weapons are suited for close range combat. Rosaries - Sacred magatama beads are great for quick long range attacks. Glaives - These can be charged up to unleash powerful close range attacks. Intriguing main character - Assume the role of the sun god, Amaterasu, who descends upon the earth in the form of a wolf. The Japanese translation of the word wolf is "Okami". Original visuals and revolutionary design - Vibrant and inspiring graphics, reminiscent of traditional Japanese art created on paper scrolls, produce a large variety of stages with a watercolor-esque appearance. Interact with a unique and dynamic cast of characters. ESRB Rating: TEEN with Blood and Gore, Crude Humor, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, and Fantasy Violence
