What is the most creative game you ever played?

Tricky one.

I'm going to say Okami, because that's the first that comes to mind. I think I could come up eith more creative titels though, if I think long and hard on it.

I also think that Nintendo has the most creative games. They rehash much of their big IP's, but when these titles were new they set the creative standard, something which they repeated with the transition to 3D gaming (without the glasses :P, talking about OoT and Mario 64 for instance). More recently, Pikmin serves as an example of (a) great game(s) doing really creative things.

Spore.

Oh ho, now that's a difficult one. I'm gonna say Persona 3/4. Not overly creative altogether, but I loved the social links you could gain, which would make persona's more pwerful.

Spore.

Best GAme EVar!!!!!!!

AAAAE am confirmed!!!!

The game that will end all games!!!!!

Ended up being some sort of collection of minigames meets the Sims.:cry:

I better go with The Sims.

As much as people say Nintendo keeps releasing more of the same, most of their games ooze with creativity. Each level in Mario Galaxy 1/2 has more creativity then most full next gen games, and just simply in their level design in games like Zelda and Metroid. They have such creative ways to solving problems and puzzles, while most other games are still stuck with simply pushing blocks and flipping switches.

I'd like to give a shout out to Harvest Moon, well, the original Harvest Moon (and the N64 and PS1 versions), before the series started churning out games at a faster rate than EA's sports franchises. Farming, chores and social interaction made fun? Hell yes.

Halo 3: ODST

Hard to say,but in many ways it was Omikron:The Nomad Soul.Arach666

Remember that one, that was unique indeed..

I really like Persona 4,but tartarus in P3 was so repetitive that I never actually finished it... The themed dungeons of P4 were so much better,and the characters in general as well imo. I mean,Nanako FTW!:PArach666

Definately agree. Persona 4 is my favourite by far, both due to dungeons and characters. Tartarus changed up a little, but wasn't as varied as the dungeons in 4.

Lol, Nanako was definately awesome... "Everyday's great at your Junes!" :P

She sure was,and I almost had an heart attack when she "passed out" in that hospital bed... Thank goodness I did the rigth thing with Namatame,or else she would really be dead!:cry:Arach666

Say no more... I haven't finished the game yet :cry:

Though I do now about that portion of the game... Luckily I know how to do it, otherwise it would suck :x

:(Sorry lundy

Oh sorry,I completely forgot about the spoilers...:oops:

:(Sorry lundy

Arach666

It's not a problem, 'cos I already knew about it. :P

I've been playing it on and off because I spend half the week at my GF's place, and I can't take my PS3 over :(

Well,if you can´t take the PS3,take the PS2! :P

When I saw the title I immediately thought of Okami. Great minds think alike :P

Cat and Mouse map for StarCraft.

How come nobody mentioned Katamari? If that's not a creative game then I don't know what is.

Oh,I guess it´s ok then,although it may ruin that bit of the game for another user...

Well,if you can´t take the PS3,take the PS2! :P

Arach666

I God damn wish I could, I sold mine and she sold hers :cry:

Ahhh well, i'll finish it soon enough.

Braid. That game was a complete head****. Especially the section where if you walk to the right of the screen, time goes forward, if you walk to the left, time goes backwards. :(

I think that both SMG and SMG2 had some of the most creative levels ever, also, i still find the concept, gameplay and even music in World of Goo very creative.

Ultima Online

Probably De Blob.

[QUOTE="Guppy507"] Holy crap, use spoiler tags.Guppy507

I'm getting flak for this, but I though Okami for the PS2 was really good. Just everything was so well done and filled with creativity.

You cannot quantify individual creativity over certain games than others.skrat_01

Who mentioned something about quantifying?

Super mario galaxy

Earthbound.

It's not a game that I own (I only have played a demo), but I have to say Katamari. It's not only a neat concept, but it's also challenging, addicting, and I doubt it would get old anytime soon. If only I could find a copy of and of the games in the series...

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]You cannot quantify individual creativity over certain games than others.glez13

Hard to say. I've seen the most creativity in LBP, so I guess I'll go with that. Though the devs didn't do it all themselves, they did provide the tools.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. I love the blend of platforming and Zelda-esque adventures all set in a sort of ancient Egyptian environment.

Super Mario Galaxy 2. Yes, it had the same presentation as SMG1, but every level was filled with so much creativity and amazing gameplay that you forget about that real soon.

PaRappa the Rapper.

There's nothing creative about Okami besides its art style. The combat is a boring rip off of zelda's.

The most creative game I've ever played is Kirby Canvas Curse. Runner Up is meteos.
