Did Okami out-Zelda Twilight Princess?
In an effort to bait Nintendo fans generate interest in Ready at Dawn's upcoming Okami port, CVG has posted an article suggesting that Okami is a better Wii-ported 3D action-adventure game than Zelda: Twilight Princess. For mostly superficial reasons.
Specifically, the swirling, watercolor-like art style, exploding with color in every screen. CVG's contention is that simply exploring the world of Okami is more fun than the "mature" brown Hyrule in part because it's more interesting to look at. In addition, the paintbrush interaction with the world (and its inhabitants) makes Nippon more engaging than Hyrule.
They break their comparisons down into a five-point list of aspects like "Support" (Midna vs. Issun) and "Main Character" (hilarious description: " No contest. Ameratsu has a mischievous charm betraying her position as a goddess. Link just rolls around shouting 'Huh?'") and in the end Okami just barely wins this arbitrary game by one point. But before you get all huffy about somebody saying that something is better in some way than Zelda: the point isn't exactly that someone considers Okami better than Twilight Princess. That such a comparison is even conceivable is a sincere testament to Okami's undeniable quality.
