I would choose the standard but perfect game.

Doesnt it just get on your nerves, though, when someone comes up with an innovative idea, and then they rush the game?

Why cant you have Innovative Perfect games, instead of Innovative Rushed and Standard Perfect?

Option #2. What #1 is innovating is in question.

I couldn't really generalize about any game genre. It changes for each game, pretty much. Innovation isn't really apparent anymore, though.. it's not like people are creating genres, or new peripherals that enhance the experience (Maybe Sony's Eyetoy). Other than that, I wouldn't jump to conclusions on what to play like that.

Here are some examples:

Raw 2 (innovative) vs Smackdown:HCTP (standard)
NBA Live 2004 (innovative) vs ESPN NBA Basketball (standard)
Animal Crossing (innovative) vs The Sims (standard)
Fusion Frenzy (innovative) vs Mario Party (standard)
Zelda:WW (innovative) vs Zelda:MM (standard)

Many others but I'll stop here. I chose innovative.

Yeah, but the innovative games in such cases as Animal Crossing and Wind Waker were polished, had good graphics (well..wind waker at least) and didn't have many bugs...Haven't played the others you listed, but I think Canyarion said the innovative games had to be a bit less polished.

I'd take innovation too

Germinator, Animal Crossing had innovation, and that's all... that game's graphics aren't on GCN's level. So I could see how it would be listed as the more innovative yet rushed game. Methinks the Wind Waker vs MM thing is backward... but then again... I dunno. All I know is I like the WWE game comparisions

Hm when I think of innovative games, I think of Half Life, WarCraft 3 and Aliens vs Predator. Problem whith those is that they're too polished!

I was also kinda thinking 1080A vs SSX3. 1080 has cool stuff as speed and nature, while SSX has more balanced gameplay perhaps.
But then I realised that 1080 misses a lot that SSX3 has... like LONG tracks and cool trick system.

The Sims is no less innovative than Animal Crossing. When The Sims first came out, there was nothing like it before. Its just that now, The Sims has become the standard for its genre.

MM was anything but standard. The mask systems and 3 day time limit were things that had never before been seen in a Zelda game. The only new thing WW had in it was a boat and a different look.

Yes, I think MM is more innovative than TWW. Though, I didnt like the time limit.
