El Shaddai is a DMC-esque game with Okami's art director. Has the best graphics of any game I've ever played. Everything looks like a painting and the environments are highly varied.
The DMC mechanics are really solid, though a lot less crazy than how other games use them. There are three weapons which you can steal off of enemies and there's a rock-paper scissors mechanic going on where each weapon will give you an advantage over an enemy wielding one of the other weapons, but will also give you a disadvantage against the other weapon. The stealing mechanic and the RPS mechanic keep you constantly switching your weapon type.
There's a bunch of 2d and 3d platforming sequences that aren't terribly difficult but do a great job of putting the environments on display. The artwork/environments are definitely the big thing about the game, not that the combat is inadequate or bad - it's quite good, but the art is what makes it a truly exceptional game.
