Take any Zelda game, subtract the fey boy in the green felt loincloth, add one white wolf, then do the whole thing up like a Japanese water color, and voila, you've got Okami. The wolf can do two things to the local villagers: listen to them or bite them. The game actually uses art as a weapon. No kiddinghold down the R1 button, and a giant paint brush appears on the screen. You can use it to, um, paint the living shit out of your foes. With smaller quests buried inside larger quests, some RPG-style stat building, and an annoying talking gnat named Issun (who would no doubt be played by Tony Award winner Nathan Lane in Okami: The Musical), just like your favorite bone, this disc is well worth burying inside your PS2.
