Games where you play as an animal

[Amazegenalo]

So I just recently played some "Ecco the Dolphin" and I was wondering if there are any other games similar to this (playing as an animal and (if possible)in a more realistic enviroment). Something like "Okami" woult be fine, too. It seems really hard to find this type of game nowadays. Any recommendations?

Only ones that really come to mind are Crash Bandocoot

and Croc.

Edit: Sorry, can't think of any realistic animal games.

If invisible wind dragons count, there's Flower.

First thing that came to mind was Okami. If you havent played it you really should.

Also i suppose Spore technically counts.

Does donkey kong count?

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

What about Twilight Princess?

 

[Lullabye]

Sonic the Hedgehog?

Deadly Creatures, you play as a scorpion, snake or a apider I think within "realistic" 3D enviroments. As far as I know though it is only available on the Wii.

Evo. The old Lion King game, although that game is crazy hard. Even as an adult, and with a gamefaqs page open, I still found it impossible to beat that game.

Step aside citizen. I've got this one...

Ahem.

[HEADING=1]OKAMI[/HEADING]

If you like the Legend of Zelda games, but want to to play something that has a great gameplay mechanic (the celestial brush), better music and oodles of character, then Okami is the game for you.

If you haven't played it yet, then...

Spyro the dragon

Spyro the dragon... not technically an animal.. but mythical creature...

and all the others mentioned already.

Gex, Donkey Kong, I'm pretty sure there's a Sims Animals now, please take your pick at any time, I'm rather annoyed with the ABBUNDANCE of them. There's also the aforementioned Crash Bandicoot, Croc, and a few years back, there was a Brother Bear Gameboy Advance game that was quite similar to Donkey Kong, but with bears. There are tens of thousands of versions of Snake, though I'm not sure that really counts, there's the Bugs Life game, etc. etc. etc. Take them off my hands please, I've grown quite tired of having to stare at so many everyday. And you thought that there weren't many to be found.

Dog's life, you are a dog and it is about your life. It wasn't that good but you could poo on npcs which is always a plus.

Dead to rights Retribution. I think you get to play a dog in that game, never played it myself but I heard it wasn't so great.

There was a simulation game where you played as a wolf. Lemme see if I can find it.

EDIT: Found it! And the game was called... "Wolf"! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_%28video_game%29

There's an old PC game called Wolf where you play as a wolf. I'm not sure if you can even find it anymore though. This link might work, I didn't look into it too closely. I think there's a service fee though.
