Okami is better imo. I thought TP was a great game but Okami just seemed fresh and more enjoyable. Its art style is rivaled by no game I have played, at anytime of the game you could stop and look around and it looked like a painting. There are other Zelda games(OoT, WW specifically) I liked better than Okami but I think Okami was just a better game than TP. Its story was better, it was very interesting.

Okami is a much better game Twilight Princess had too much hype around it and ended up disappointing. As a stand alone game, its amazing, but as a Zelda game, it just doesnt compete with any of the others in the series. Okami was incredible on almost every aspect I can think of

It really depends on what version of Okami you're talking about.

Since this is the Wii board, I presume you're talking about the Wii Edition of Okami. So, if I were to compare Twilight Princess to Okami for Wii, I would say that Twilight Princess would win.

BUT...

If you were comparing Twilight Princess to Okami's original PS2 release, I would say that Okami would win.

Okami has a lot going for it with it's artsyle and fresher, less formulaic approach to its gameplay. However, where to me things really count are level design, puzzles, and combat. And in this arena Twilight Princess (and the Zeldaseries in general)really beats Okami out. Both are great games though.

I suppose I liked Twilight Princess a little more because I thought it had a more interesting story and because Midna was one of my favorite characters ever, but Okami is a very close second. Bottom line, no one should miss either game.

Twilight Princess is too re-hashy to be better than Okami, in my opinion. Twilight Princess does deserve some credit though for the few neat things it had. The top spinny thing that you got in the Sand Temple, that was awesome. And Wolf Link was pretty fun too. But most everything else was sort of recycled, whereas Okami was completely fresh (well, except for the fact that it was a port).

I have to say, Okami was much better. I was a huge fan of TP until I played Okami. I just found everything to be better in Okami: characters, story, gameplay, graphics (art), music....

I never thought Okami would beat TP, but after playing it I would say this decision was very easy. TP is still an amazing game though.

completely agree... The story for Okami was simply great. I'm surprised the game didn't get more recognition for this alone, but as far as a video game. Zelda beats it by miles. The story was well, Zelda. Not bad, but it's harder to continue a story than make a new one, and it turn out mindblowing. Though, the level design in TP was absolutely phenomenal. The gameplay in TP makes Okami look like just another game trying to be Zelda, which in a large part it is. Anyone that disputes this is lying to them selves. The story in TP was good enough, complemented by the excellent gameplay it has pushes the game to that level that only Zelda games can ever seem to reach.

Okami by far. It has more interesting visuals, superiour music, superiour lore, inventive controls that ARE NOT broken (they're just explained badly) and gameplay that flows like wine - none of that stop/start gameplay that Zelda has had since OoT.

Good Poll by the way...

I liked a lot of things Okami did but that game was so incredibly easy that I didn't enjoy it that much. I however thought TP was the closest thing to perfect any 3D Zelda game has reached.

I've played Twilight Princess 3 times, only completed once, second time through I forgot where I was and statred over.

Okami I've played 5 times all the way through, still not tired of it. Superior sound, music, art direction, and story and enviroments belong to Okami.

Twilight Princess had bland areas, I think Ocarina had a bigger color pallate than TP, characters were bland emotionless zombies, music and sounds were like a trip back to 1999.

Both games suffer from bad combat on the Wii, and Okami suffers more because the celestial brush system is screwed up, you just have to find groove to work with though.

Both games are definitley worth playing no matter who you are, TP just didn't appeal to me as much. I'd recommend buying both but Okami gets so little love. If you live close to one of the 75000 people in America who has it, ask if you can play it for a while.

Okami is much more fresh and unique, but TP is still the better game in my book.

@Skingus

I liked the combat better, especially the brush abilities. When you get towards the end, you can change them together, and you really feel powerful. The weapons were also pretty cool. The only thing I liked about Zelda's combat better were the fights with no boundaries.

I liked the "dungeons" and bosses more, too. I felt the dungeons fit in more seemlessly with the setting and story. The Bosses I thought were a little better too, expecially ninetails and the entire sequence with the Owls. Zelda had awesome bosses as well, though.

What I really liked about Okami was the story and characters.

Twilight Princess. Okami was just slow, boring and the combat was too repetitive.

Twilight Princess is more polished, but Okami's a better adventure.
