...okami looks pretty amazing.....
....i usually prefer my games to be based around human characters, which is probably why i had yet to take more than a second glance at it... ...but after checking out the story and looking at the gameplay videos, i' m pretty sold on it....
....it' s very unusual and kooky, but somehow manages to be engaging too... ...maybe it' s the RPG elements that make this title more my thing? (50 - 60 hours of gameplay too, apparently).... ...or could it be because wolfs are about a thousand times cooler than geeky viewful super heroes?..
....i remember reading about the paintbrush thing before and not really thinking too much of it, but when you see it in action, you can see how it adds a whole new layer of gameplay mechanics to the game... ...giving the game an unprecedented level of depth not likely found in any other adventure rpg title....
...as far as design goes, it' s in a class of it' s own... ...it' s look is the kind of thing which you' ll likely see ripped off in car advert 6 months from now....
....i can see why ]GaNgStA[ is so excited about it... ...it' s VERY nintendo in a sensible parenting sort of way...
...coincidentally, i actually woke this afternoon to the sound of a hyperactive canine nosily running and exercising outside my window...
..it must be a sign....
