I Just Got Metroid, and every where i look someone is saying single player sucks. and from the online matches i've had i think 1 player mode is better. i got use to the controls very quick. and people still kill me up and down. It Is AR's people use them to much. i think nintendo needs to find a way to disable Cheat divices on WiFi.

Because single player was shallow and too short for that matter.

I agree. I don't like the multiplayer either.

Well to be honest I did have a huge moment of single player hatred because I was missing a boss encounter yet couldn't tell where he was so I had to roam everywhere. The bosses could have used a lot more variety. If viewed as an expirement in fpses on the DS then Metroid Prime Hunters was an enourmous success and shows the potential of the genere. Stylus and buttons for the win!!!

Im not a big fan of the game either way. Its way too linear and the levels are so small for a metroid game. They didnt put much effort into the design of the actual single player layout. The graphics are very good. The control scheme works well although my hands hurt after about 30 mins of play. I actually havent played much of the game either way because of the pain it causes me.

Id love to see a 2nd Metroid game with either 3d graphics(like new super mario) or some nice 2d artwork.

Everyone puts single player down because not a lot of people like havingto scan things also there were onlytwo mainbosses just with different "difficulties" and at every planet you went to one of the stupid hunters began to pester you and sometimes they were really hard to kill But i liked single player cuz it ismuch easier to learn the controls in single player also on wifi if you run into aHackerits best to stay put and let them win cuz if you get off you lose connection history and it also counts as losing in last place just try to kill the other people before the Hacker does.

Oh and where did u buy Metroid cuz my cousin wants it but we cant find it anywhere not at gamestop walmart best buy THX:)

ar wasnt out at the time the games came out. its rather new.

its not so much that nintendo doesnt care, or lets people cheat, ther just naive. and since u cannt talk or say anything on nintendo wifi, they coul not implement a reporting system or a banning system. they would have to entirely reformat wifi to ever get rid of cheaters. jsut let them have ther fun and hope tehr action replay breaks ther game or system like ther suppose to

Single player in Metroid was pretty dull, even though they kind of hard good cut sceens, I think the makers were just trying to make online and mult player fun, and did not try very hard with the story so single player just skip it,

You know, single player was pretty good, actually, but some little...problems came up in the process:

1. The bosses, they don't work well. I would have liked it more if one of the hunters were somehow fighting you during a boss battle, or maybe some variety. (Awesome Giant Lion like alien or something)

2. The enemies really lacked. I certainly got bored smacking Psycho Bits away wherever I went. Maybe some Metroids or Pirates, kinda like first hunt.

3. What the heck am I running away from? The planets not blowing up, my suit didn't burn away, yet I have this weird little timer! What is that for?

When you talk about the rest, the single player is fine for me, if not a wee bit repetitive.

But Wifi, those hackers are spoil sports who couldn't blast their own way through a door without some cheat.

It was pretty linear. I got REALLY bored with it after the second planet...same thing over and over. It is one of the few DS games I've sold actually, and I love Metroid. Oh well, Corruption should rock!

Just wait for the timer to run. It is explained to you why you have to run back to the ship.

I think the single player wasn't particularly bad, it just wasn't anything special. You expect a bit more from a Metroid title. And while the bosses were all kinda the same, the last boss is more impressive.

I'm interested to know how many people use Action Replay online. I've played a good bit of Metroid multiplayer but never met a cheater. Is it possible that the people who were beating you were just people who had more practice and were better than you? Skill level is something that varies alot in Metroid Prime: Hunters.

I think it has something to do with the fact that until a year before release, the game was meant to be a multiplayer only title.

1. It's too Linear

2. Puzzles are Infrequent and painfully easy.

3. No Metroids = Fail

4. Geared towards Running and Gunning than Exploration.

it wasnt has good as the 3d console games in the exploring aspect. It wasnt 2d. Should have made it like they did with castlevania dos and por. Hopefully the next one will be more like that (in terms of graphics) and more like Super Metroid in terms of exploration.

Because it focuses too much on action and isn't as immersive as the other Metroids.

there is a 2D game for DS that is rumoured. It is called Metroid Dread. But still, single player was fun but there couldve been a bigger variety of bosses, not just different forms. But I like the way they made u use certain weapons on them. And with MKDS, if you keep jumpiing, does that make u go faster? someone did that and they lapped everyone.

Well Multiplayer is much more fun actually ... well once you get good and the matches get really competitive. I didn't mind the single player in Hunters, it was pretty fun, but it was so linear and the same all over again that I got tired of it quickly ...

its nowhere near the level of the prime1 and prime2s. the fact there are two bosses who are recycled really hurts it. plus its short like 10 hours. but its still decent and multiplayer is awesome

MPH was my first Metroid game. Is that why I enjoyed it? idk. All I do know is I was bored last summer and bought it on a whim and liked it a lot. I know it doesn't compare to previous installments on console systems, but whatever. It is what it is. I thought it was great.

Only Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime Hunters have any form of multiplayer. The other 5 Metroid titles are single player only.
