''It's been over a year and a half since the under-appreciated Okami was released on PS2. This action-adventure title from Capcom-owned developer Clover wound up spurring the publisher to close the studio, which was a real shame since their last game was excellent. It took fantasy elements from Japanese mythology and put them together into a very original title where you control a wolf with, well, a paintbrush.
I know - that sounds ridiculous. But somehow, it works. As the goddess Amateresu in her avatar of a powerful wolf, you will remove the taint on the land of Nippon by exorcising demons and fixing what's broken. To do this, you'll use the divine powers of over a dozen paintbrush powers. With them, you can slash at enemies, draw a sun in the sky to bring about early morning, create bombs, call forth wind, and quite a bit more. These are done with the Wii Remote by simply holding down the B button, which pauses the game, and you paint what you want onto the screen.''
