Well, I've heard that Okami is a better game than Twilight Princess, and I find that hard to believe, especially when Twilight Princess got better reviews. Okami looks like an excellent game, though, and I can't wait to play it on the Wii sometime in late March 2008.

So I just wanted to hear from you guys. What is the best overall game?

I don't know. I only played Twilight Princess. (Which I was somewhat dissipointed with).

I'm looking forward to playing Okami when the Wii port is released.

Okami by far, should of been GOTY that year.

Twilight Princess was a huge letdown. Okami was just breathtaking

Zelda has been the same for years. While the games are still really good, they get to be very familar. Okami is very fresh and original.

I played both of them back to back. By that I mean, I played 80 or so hours on TP, and then 80 or so on Okami. That was fantastic by the way.

Anyway, Okami is without a doubt, the better game. It's quite surprising that a mimic actually surpassed the original, but they did it.

Gamers who haven't played any console Zelda will find TP as one of the best games of all time. TP is the first Zelda console game i've played and is on my top ten games of all time with Starcraft,etc. Gamers say it's easy but the puzzles were so hard that it took me 60 hourse to beat it with guide because i'm not familiar with Zelda puzzles unlike Zelda fans.

I thought they were both equally great. TP was one of the best Zelda offerings ever IMO but I think a lot of people gave Okami a slight edge for visual style and new IP

In terms of story, characters, and originality: Okami

March 25, 2008... Two days after Easter. March 2008 is shaping up to be one heck of a month. There's at least five games I want during that month for Wii and PS2 that I will probably get.

I read this quote once made about Okami, "And the payoff, if you've ever seen a screenshot, is both obvious and unbelievable. I say that because most development studios could probably sacrifice their employees' children on an altar to Satan and still be miles away from the visual fantasia that flows, blooms and glows in each and every frame of Okami."

I loved that quote. I don't remember the source now, unfortunately. Maybe it was IGN that had it in their review. I'm sure someone could find it.

Twilight Princess. The Zelda formula polished to a mirror-sheen. Okami had the charm and originality, but it wasn't as good of a game.

I enjoyed Okami more than ZeldaTP. The charming characters, story, visuals, and fighting with the brush made it one great experience.

Twilight Princess is fantastic if you've never played any of the pre-N64 zelda titles. Otherwise, it's a letdown.

I hate it when someone says exactly what I was gonna say before I say it.:( But yeah, you're totally right. If I had my way, I'd be able to fuse the two of them, thus creating the perfect adventure game. (for me, anyway)

Okami is great, but it get's less and less fun as you go threw the game, instead of becoming more fun... Which is kind of bad.

I unfortunatly had to miss okami when it came out on the ps2, thanks to my budget. So, i'll let you know after it's released on the wii.

But, i will say one thing.. twilight princess recieves a lot of hate on this forum, so i don't expect the poll to go in favor of zelda.

WRONG!

lulz

but yeah...sometimes I do feel that the game gets more hate than it deserves.

I can understand why some people would be disappointed, especially if you were expecting something new....but there is no denying the polish of the game itself.

Its a pretty hard decision. When i played TP i was expecting the worst game ever and it ended up being good. Idk if my low expectations made me like it as much as okami or not. But okami is truely a masterpiece and probably in my top 10 games of all time.

Okami for sure. It's got a similar style to Zelda but with a great art style and fresh gameplay. It's pretty sad it just got ignored by all the Nintendo zealots who are fine with playing the same damned games for 10 years straight.

Okami is one of the best games out there in my opinion and killed Zelda for me. It is simply amazing and deserved a better rating and better promotion. This game could have beaten games like FFXII (it should have) if it had been promoted better. I hope that Clover makes a sequel one day but after the whole mess with Capcom it seems unlikely.

Twilight Princess was disappointing. I'm not a hater (it's still one of my favorite games) but...

ugh, I just want a MM sequel already. :(

I still need to play Okami.

Okami was more original even though it did take alot from Zelda.

TP was an overall better game. But by Zelda standards it sucked. Okami was more refreshing.

IF you are a Zelda fan and played almost all the zeldas you will be more satisfied by Okami because TP was such a letdown.

If you are looking for just the better action adventure game, id say its TP.

I'm a zelda fan...and IMO TP doesn't "suck" by any means. Sure it ain't in the top tier zelda's...but it was still a great game.

I kind of agree. TP is "Zelda perfected". Okami is a Zelda clone that has enough originality to make it a great experience. As far as gameplay goes Zelda blows Okami out of the water...It's not even close. It's a much deeper experience.

TP and it's not even close.

Okami looks nice, but one you get past the art style, everything else is just garbage.

I think Twilight Princess is the better overall game, myself. But I thought it was a huge letdown as part of the Zelda series, so I'm gonna have to go with Okami.

Okami was very boring to me that i didn't even get to finish it, it still sitting in my shelf gathering dust. so by default I'm gonna go with TP, even though it wasn't the best Zelda.

Okami is really original, has a fantastic art style, and has a much, much better story and world than Zelda, with far better characters. Still, Twilight Princess has much better combat, and better dungeon design. So I guess it depends on which you value more.

Dude, you're asking the wrong question. It's which one to get first, not that or this game. Get both.

So which one to get first? Now that's the hard question. I've completed TP but haven't played Okami. If you're very familiar with Zelda-type gameplay, then go TP first then Okami. If you're new to Zelda and Okami, which ever order is fine. Simply put, the freshness of Okami may make TP taste stale if you've played OoT, MM, WW.

Personally, I found Okami to be a fresher experience than TP, but none the less both are very solid games and I'd easily recommend getting both if you can.

While Twilight Princess was an amazing game, Okami beats it out. Okami has incredible art style, unique new game mechanics, awesome story (which can be hillariously funny at times), and hours upon hours of gameplay (much more than Twilight Princess).

I was disappointed in Zelda. Can I suggest Zack and Wiki?
It is a really fun game I just picked up.

If not go Okami, I'm very sad Capcom closed their Clover division. They made great games.
