I can't say enough good things about Zelda Twilight Princess. I've solved it three times and still have not finished a few of the mini-games. My daughters love to watch me play (ages between 5 and 10). I like to take my time and dig into the worlds and characters. TP has given me over 150 hours of fun, and my youngest still asks to watch me play. She likes to take control in some of the more tame areas and I take over when the baddies get too bad. Okami is another great recent discovery of mine. The games have a lot of game play similarities, and some of the world elements have a very familiar feel from one game to another, though they are significantly different enough to exist in their own merits. Okami is a bit talkie for me. There are sections where I may read screens for five minutes or more just to get to the next scene. Both TP and Okami do a great job of layering their worlds. As you gain experience, abilities, tools, and toys, it pays to go back and re-visit areas. This layering keeps the exploration fresh. They also both have "portal" type transport as you unlock areas. This keeps you from having to run across world every time you need to get somewhere. On the other hand, I don't often use them. Using the portals, I tend to miss little details like glowing bugs and such. Both games are great fun. I'd rate TP higher of the two, but I'm really enjoying Okami and don't regret a penny of the purchase. Enjoy, and let us know what games you purchase and how you like them. I'm already looking for my next free-range world explore game. I'd really love to see GTA4 on the Wii. The Godfather looks a little over-the-top graphically violent for me (a lot of tortured screaming and such). RE4 looks promising. I'm less bothered blowing the head off of a zombie than I am setting a shop owner on fire.
