i brought re4 b/c it had amazing value and i knew it had substantial replay value so i knew it waS A MUST HAVE. im a decent metroid fan but i dont own it. im sure it kicks @$$ though, according 2 the reviews, although i dont think it has much replay value...but the graphics are superior compared 2 re4, plus it feels more epic...so i guess it depends on what your in2. by friday, both will be in my collection and i think u should get both bro!!

Metroid is one of the best games to come out in 2007. Metroid kills RE4 in my opinion and I would get that.

In my opinion Metroid Prime 3 is the best game on the system. The best game all year and my second favorite game of all time. It's definitely a killer app for sure. It is your must buy.

However RE4 is my fourth favorite game of all time. And the 3rd best game on the system. With the best games on the system being Metroid, Zelda, RE4 and Galaxy you're primed to own the best. DO NOT discount RE4 in all of it's glory. Just get Metroid first :D

In agreement with the majority of posts here, RE4, mainly for value, butboth games are good.

RE4 is an amazing game.

So is Meriod, but RE4 is just mind-blowing, and beats almost every game.

I'll admit it straight up... RE4.. was too hard for me. lol, but i totally recognize it as being a steller game. So if your not intimidated by a steep challenge and Resident evil is your thing i would recommend that.

On the other hand, if you prefer Metroid, Metroid Prime 3 is a must own simply because the controls are so perfect and its a really damn good metroid game.

Yea, I'd opt for Resident Evil 4 Wii edition b/c, imo, it's one of the greatest games ever made. The wii controls make it amazing.

Metroid is a great game as well, but not in the same league.

I have only played MP1 and RE4:PS2 Edit.Anyway,Metroid is way more brain teasing than RE4 is.So,if you like that,go with Metroid.

I am more into RE4...because,seriously,it bleeping rocks!!

I have enjoyed MP3 a lot so far...one of my favorite games on the system. RE4 I beat when it came out on Gamecube, so I was not that impressed by it. I have owned both games, but traded RE in after I beat it because I didn't feel like unlocking everything all over again.

I would say Metroid because in my opinion it is a much more unique game, as Metroid games have always been. The environments in Metroid are amazing, top notch. RE4 is an extremely linear game, which I can't stand, and this is a big reason why I was not terribly interested in keeping it.

Metroid presents large areas for the player to explore, and I've always liked the exploration aspect of Metroid. I'm a little biased though, I have been playing Metroid games for years now and have enjoyed every one that I've played.

I've always thought Resident Evil games have beena little bit ridiculous...not to say RE4 is undeserving of its praise, but I will quickly admit I don't entirely understand its massive popularity...

i bought metroid the day it came out but havent got around to playing until just recently but thus far it has been amazing. the first metroid prime is the second best game ever in my opinion and mp3 is holding up pretty well to it right now. now i havent finished mp3 but to the issue re4 is simply one of the most amazing experiences there is nothing overated about it. it is probly like my fourth favorite game ever and it really is a classic like there is really a reason for all the hype that sorrounds that game. regardless you will need to get your hands on both of them!

i played both mp3 and re4 for the gc(same as the wii right?) i say get re4 you get more out of your money. If you happen to be disatisfied with it which i bet you wont atleast you didnt spend 50 dollars. MP3 was alright but it just didnt feel all that great as everyone said it would be.

MP3 is more varied and interesting to me, and the level design / boss fights / art direction punches RE4 to a bloody pulp. But if You look at the other replies You see it's very personal. Is this game one of the best, or that game? Do You know what that means?
It means as a gamer You have to get both. It's the only option.

If you've never played RE4, get that. If you have, get MP3. But get them both when you can. Both are amazing. As much as I loved MP3, I have to agree that RE4 is the better game.

this one's easy

BOTH

but if you've only got bank for one... i would start with RE4... it'll be cheaper than Metroid. Also, after you beat it, I was pleasantly surprised at the playthrough-again options and also playing as different characters, etc. even though i say start with RE4... get Metroid as soon as you can... it's definitely one of the best games out for wii

I would go with Metroid Prime 3. Then again for me both were just as epic, so I'd imagine you'd be happy with either decission.

Geez, that's a tough one. Both are awesome games, but I have to go with Metroid. That game just rocks, one of my favorites ever.

Both, no way around it. You're only hurting yourself by choosing between 2 of the finest games on the system.

If don't own Metroid Prime 1 or 2, then the 3rd one really isn't worth getting. Resident Evil 4 would be my pick, but I have a thing against Mature rated games. If you don't have anything against them, go for RE4

how do u figure that metroid is a horrible game!! its ashooter just like re4 but its more sci-fi than re4. is that what u dont like about it, the whole "space odyssey" setting. i mean im a decent fan of the metroid series and im just stumped on how someone could not enjoy a game ofthis caliber...bascially i want you 2 enlighten me on your aversion :)
