What are the main differences in the methods of game theory and experimental economics? Which method is better suited to analyze strategic behavior?

They're complementary to each other.
With the development of Behavioral Game Theory, canonized in Camerer's 2003 textbook, the current paradigm of game theory 1 is converging towards making theories about how people play games, and test them, most often with experiments.
