24. Which game for the Wii, whose title literally translates to 'great god', was released in April 2008?
From Quiz We Want Wii! 7
Answer:
Okami
Critically renowned for its approach to action-adventure games, "Okami" originally sold on Sony's Playstation 2 as an exclusive, but because of the Wii's motion sensitive capabilities, certain features strongly lent themselves to better gameplay. The Celestial Brush, used by changing to a canvas in the game and directing the Wii Remote to paint a shape or image on the screen (to complete a task or defeat an enemy) is one of the game's many perks, separating it from many others.
The game was lauded with positive reviews and due to its popularity as a standalone game, it was released on the Wii in August 2008. Porting developers, Ready at Dawn, also created "God of War: Chains of Olympus" and "Daxter", both exclusive for the PSP. The original developers, Clover Studios, created the "Viewtiful Joe" series before becoming defunct. They later merged to create Platinum Games, known for the Wii exclusive "MadWorld" and the PS3 title "Bayonetta".
