Gamespot.com first covered about the sequel to the
smash hit game
Okami, you play as the heroic wolf
Amaterasu, who just so happens was the incarnation
of the Sun goddess of Japan.

In the sequel, you play as a wolf pup with the same
powers who must protect the ancient lands of Japan
once again from evil.

Okami was a great game and the guidebook that was
released that covers the whole game and it's many
aspects was excellent. I recommend getting it.

It's called
Okami Official Complete Works. It's super hard
to find, so good luck!

Wolves in Japan have gotten alot of attention lately in Japan.
They have made
Wolf's Rain, Stormy Night, and making the
show
Spice and Wolf (The 2nd season is wrapping up), based
on the great literature of the same name.

Plus the Japanese wolf has been talked about in the book,
The Last Wolves of Japan, by Brett Walker. And the
Shinsengumi (aka the Wolves of Mibu), who embodied the spirit,
savage nature, and nobleness of wolves, have been covered
over many years in
Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker Kurogane in
anime/manga, and great videogames for the Japanese PS2, like
Fu-Un Shinsengumi and Shinsengumi Gunrouden.

The new Okami for DS continues this, and hopefully this trend in
media will continue to honor the once Japanese worshiped wolf
god, Oguchi no Magami, or Large Mouth Pure God. And one day,
maybe wolves can re-populate in Japan once more.

Until that time, look forward to another hit in the future to the
great franchise that
Okami is.

Contrary to Obama's speeches, games can get those
interested in
the right things in life.
