Does anyone else out their think that metroid prime hunters for the ds sucks!?!?! I traded in 6 xbox games and 3 dvds just to have enough to get a USED copy of this game and it has done nothing but pissed me off!! Everytime i play the game on wifi, players are cheating their asses off with mods to make them god!!!  The single player also isnt that impresive, i should have got Final Fantasy Tactics advanced instead!!!:evil:

BURN IN HELL METROID!!!!!!!!

Yea, it's a very "meh" game. The controls are weird, the single player doesn't really have a story or give you any kind of reason to make you complete it. The multi-player is decent, but either everyone else is amazing at this game or there's lots of cheaters. And no, this game is definitely not worth the $34.99 price tag, luckily I received it as a birthday gift last year. Overrated and boring, to say the least.

I wouldn't say "burn in hell Metroid" though. The other Metroid games are fantastic. If you haven't played any of the classic 2D sidescrollers or the Metroid Prime gamecube games, I would recommend them to you.

I'm personally not a big fan of it, either. I really didn't enjoy it very much. However, WiFi can be pretty fun with friends.

As a huge Metroid fan, I cant tell you I was a little more than dissapointed. I never even finished the single player because it got so boring, and the multiplayer was kinda "meh". The music and graphics were good though.

Oh, well see, that's one of the main reasons why I hated Metroid Prime: Hunters; it was way to linear. Backtracking has always played a huge role in Metroid games, and although it may seem like a lot of work, usually it all feels like it pays off. But yea, if you don't like backtracking, then I probably wouldn't recommend these games, or Castlevania, or Zelda ;)

yeah most ds games were destroyed its probbly because ds game have only like 90mbs of space compared to the wii games which has over 4.7gbs, therefore little data little content, but hunters if one of the best ds games out there if you though it was bad i suggest you trade in you ds.

I believe the DS cartriges can hold about 1gb of data. It may even be more... I forget the exact number.

I actually liked it alot.  It's not as good as Prime or Prime 2, but i thought it did a decent job of capturing the essence.  I also don't find the game to be very linear.  It's not as open as the previous games in the prime series, but it does require backtracking.  I remember returning to various levels to apply new weapons i had achieved.

Also, the controls are amazing.  Very accurate, fast paced, and tons of fun.  It's a great game, just not absolutly astounding like its predecessors.

I don't think it takes much more space to add some decent dialog and a story, or any point at all to the game in Hunter's case. The maps were already there, Nintendo just decided to make it a mindless shooter instead of a traditional Metroid game. Also, I can name about 20 games that weren't "destroyed" by DS's small cartridge size and are much better than Hunters, maybe not in the graphics department, but definitely in the gameplay/story department.

my biggest gripe is that single player is nowhere near as the gc primes and the online has problems. it restricts when in random battles, everyone either is really good or really bad, and all the hackers. but local multiplayer is totally kickass

I loved it. O.o

If you compare it to other Metroid game's then it's not that great, but I dunno. I thought the controls were intense, and the online is sweet (As long as you don't play publicly. Nintendo needs to get moving on a hacker fix).

I thought MPH was an ok game, but certainly not as good as it could have been. What really amazes me is that you traded 6 X-Box games and 3 DVDs for it. That's a total scam IMO.

Worst DS game I have ever played. It is impossible to control and is just a pain in the ass to play. I mean I hate the prime games (if I wanted to scan everything I think I'd have more fun scanning bar codes at walmart), but this game brings new meaning to the word hate.

Huh, I loved it. Ok, the single player is below par for the Metroid series, but multiplayer really makes the game. It's the first FPS that I can enjoy that's not on PC, I way prefer the stylus to an analogue stick. I still play it regularly with friends, and we're extremely competitive about it. It very much feels like "Quake on the go" to me. My favorite DS game so far bar Advance Wars.

The game is amazing when you think about it being on a hand held system.  don't hate it just because your not good at it and can't beat it.

Well if you actually took the time to play through the single player, get good, then do good on multiplayer, you would really have fun on this game. You also probably didn't take the time to learn all the other hunters abilities for online. It adds a great variety that never gets old. Frankly, I'm ashamed to have the same icon as you.:|

Well they have 119MB of space... But still not much, I personally loved Hunters and would much prefer the 3d gamecubesque over 2d anyday (unless they remade Super Metroid) ((but, if they remade Super Metroid in 3c 'faints'))

man, you must be really broke or desperate to trade in those games and dvds for a game. you should have just saved money and bought it. i havent played the metroid prime series but i played the old school though and the sequels on the gba. i have a ds but i didnt buy MPH, i like my metroid as a side scroller it never gets old to me and was turned off when they made it into fps. it could be a great game if they go back to their roots and overhaul the graphics into a pseudo 3D like new SMB.

But thats how the Metroid series is, Backtracking. But in regard to the Topic, I really didnt like Hunters but I like every other metroid I played.

The problem with you people is that you are thinking in graphics and only graphics.... if you want play a game with cool graphics go and buy a psp (or a console instead of a portable) the thing with the ds is the double screen and the touchscreen... MPH is a example of the capabilities of those things.

I consider metroid prime hunters ones of the best games that I played in the ds. The control is awesome, the music is great and the adventure mode is really cool, I 've don't played the on line game (sadly) but what i see does the work for me perfectly

THE GAME IS GARBAGE!!!!! ppl who actually defend this pile of crap and disgrace in the name of FPS' probably never owned a PC or an XBOX. the controls bite, single player is terrible, online is full of hackers (THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN UNEXPERIENCED COMPANY LIKE NINTENDO TRIES TO GO ON THE INTER-WEB-NET THINGY) leave that game alone, stick to other awesome games on the ds, Elite beat, new super mario, mario kart, pokemon.......and if you want a fps, get a 360
