With no online, it's designed like a multiplayer just they dont know it. SHould have took a Halo approach.

It would've been a welcomed add-on, but the single player campaign is what everyone wants to play, if I want an online experience I don't go to my Wii.

Halo wouldn't work for this type of game. As for multiplayer, if you've played the multiplayer in Metroid Prime 2 you'd know that it wouldn't work either. And your sentence is phrased weird.

No they've tried MultiPlayer in previous versions of Metroid and they recieved LUKeWarm responses so I'm happy that they just focused on the Single Player mode instead this time around>>>>

The multiplayer in Metrod Prime: Hunters worked out pretty well. I think that sort of multiplayer would've transfered over pretty well.

Im glad they (Retro) chose to forgo such a usless mode when metroid always had been about an Unbeatable Single player. They tried a Multiplayer mode in Echoes, but it proved horrable.

Also, Hunter's was not done by retro, it was done by NST. And it was as made as a FPS, unlike the other's that are FPA's.

Quit complaining! the game is 6 days from realese! what do you think? there going to push back the realease date even more just because a group of people wanted online. Most of the discs are probably made by now so there no turning back.

Yeah, but they focused on multiplayer, not single player, which was lacking a lot in that game. Single player is what people want, I'm glad they focused their attention on that.

And I'm not sure how the TC came to the the conclusion that the game went wrong, it hasn't come out yet. It looks to have gone pretty damn right to me.

Yeah, but I dont think Retro Studios has the kind of staff and budget required to pull off a good single player, and a solid multiplayer. Bungie can because MS pumps a lot of money into them.

I found that wierd too. How could it have gone wrong when it's not even out yet!

It had a good multiplayer, but it was hardly even a Metroid game.

"It should have been like Halo" isn't really a good argument to be making in this forum.
