Metroid Prime? No. Metroid BUY? Depends.

A couple of things struck me after collecting my last weapon in Metroid Prime: Hunters. 1: I collected my last weapon 5 hours into the game. And 2: I just played unreal tornament with a metroid makeover. With these words said, a couple of you will like the things I just pointed out-if you've never played any FPS in the past 5 years. Despite the name, this game plays unlike ANY metroid game before ( or after ) it. It's like the developers decided to make this FP"A" into more of a FPS since it's on a smaller scaller console. (Which is not true, by the way :D) The adventure mode throws at you about 6 or 7 different enemy types, not including hunters, and about half of those enemy types just float or crawl around. Now, naturally, this isn't a problem in the other Metroid Prime games, because, naturally they're FP"A" s. (First person adventure's) Meaning most of the time, you're exploring. So the combat never really had a chance to get boring. But in Hunters, you'll see these enemy types every other room, which means, quote for quote, less exploring, more shooting. Which also means more repetition. It really doesn't matter what weapon you use in hunters, because really, they all do the same thing. (kill) And the boss fights, omg. Are all of the bosses in Hunters related? Because they all sure seem to look alike! Notice I haven't meantioned the famous 'hunters' yet in this review. And to be honest, why would I? They're only there for an excuse to train you for the multiplayer portion of the game. Point blank- DON'T get this game for the single player portion. It's repetitive, easy, and after a while, just playing boring. If it wasn't for the outstanding multiplayer included, my score for this game would be MUCH lower. And what a multiplayer game it is! You have everything that an xbox live regular expects, only on a smaller system. Yeah, the friend code thing sucks, but when it comes down to actual multiplayer gameplay, in my opinion, this is the DS's Halo. No scratch that-Halo 2. And really, the only reason some people are going to PLAY single player mode, is to unlock hunters to play as in multiplayer. As much as I hate to say it, it's worth clogging through the worthless single player mode, just so you can try out these baddies. Bottom line, if you have wifi, this game is a must for your DS. If you don't, you could always go back and get Metroid Fusion.
