Cue extremely bias views of a game I have been dieing to play for ages.
Okamiden is the sequel to Okami on the PS2 and Wii. The story is based around the adventures of Chibirasu the son of Ammy from the first game. Even though the game is now based on the DS the story hasn't been turned into a child proof cute mess and has been given a rating of 12+ just to make sure. (Even though parents will still by it for kids in their naive belief that all Nintendo games are for kids)
This time the game relies on you controlling not only Chibi but his large selection of friends he meets along the way, each with their own ability's. So instead of Issan jumping up and down on his back you have to start with the son of Susano and Kushi called Kuni sitting on your back swinging his sword around.
It still has the same areas as the first game but also the odd extra area such as the village you start in which specialise in medicine and shops which later on will help with some smaller quest and helping characters.
Like the first game this is a fun and at times well written game, the story may be at time similar to the first game but with the new characters it is still a good stand alone game.
score:
9½ / 10
(only because of the sudden time travel story plot that started to get tedious at the end. )
