Okami (Nintendo Wii)
Also on PlayStation 2

The multiple award-winning Ã…kamiTM returns for a glorious encore on the WiiTM! Amaterasu, the wolf-embodied sun god must breathe color and life into a world made dismal by the tyrannical and destructive monster Orochi. Amaterasu travels through various regions of the world toregain "Celestial Brush" powers, all the while revitalizing all life. Featuring a re-imagined control scheme built around the intuitive Wii RemoteTM, Ã…kami for the Wii offers players an unparalleled level of control and an opportunity to rediscover a critically-acclaimed and beautifully crafted adventure.

Using the Wii Remote, players can directly manipulate the in-game "Celestial Brush." Players utilize the brush to literally draw upon the game world, thereby altering its physical properties. Whether it's creating pathways, chopping down trees or turning night into day, Ã…kami changes the world into a virtual canvas.

Featuring a visually stunning art style, Ã…kami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, interact with a dynamic cast of characters and build their faith to uncover clues and hints. The blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay results in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.

Features
  • 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.
  • The same amazing gameplay and story found in the award-winning PlayStation®2 version of the game.
  • 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 wields 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.
  • 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 "ÅŒkami".
  • 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.
