Okami for PS2
Get it. That's all I have to say. Lots of original concepts, yet the overall game experience shares a lot of similarities with classic adventure/rpg-type games such as Zelda and Castlevania (a storyline, learning techniques, collecting stuff, adventure, backtracking, etc.).
It's not a new game at all, but I've only recently found it at our local game shop, so I picked it up as it was made (IIRC) by the same team that put together Viewtiful Joe. It DOES NOT play like viewtiful joe at all though, but the original visuals (cell-shaded, woodblock print-inspired textured 3D) are excellent, and leaves a very unique impression.
Great game. Still playing now. Difficulty is perfect. Not too easy, not stupidly difficult.
