Which has aged better? Halo or Metroid?

First, be aware that this is NOT "GS SCORE IS WRONG" it's just some information. I am not saying it is important. If this gets banned (like some other posts I have maked on other subjects) please tell me why.

This is stating from after Halo came, so original metroid and super are not included.

I know this is gamespot, but I will be refering to other places as well.

Okay.

Halo: Combat evolved vs Metroid Prime

Scores on gamespot: 9.7 vs 9.7

User scores on gamespot: Mp: 9.3 Halo: 9.4

IGN scores: Halo: 9.7 Mp: 9.8

Gamerankings scores: Halo: 9.55 MP3: 9,63

Gamestats scores: Halo 9.4 MP 9.4

1up: Halo 9.5 Mp: 9.4

Halo 2 vs Metroid prime 2

Scores on gamespot: Halo 2: 9.4 Mp2:9.1

User scores on gamespot: Halo 2: 9.1 Mp2: 9.3

IGN scores: Halo 2: 9.8 Mp2: 9.5

Gameranking scores: Halo2: 9.46 Mp2: 9.21

Gamestats scores: Halo2:9.3 Halo3:9.2

1up:Halo 2: 9.3Mp2: 9.1

Halo 3 vs Metroid prime 3

Scores on gamespot: Halo 3: 9.5 Mp3: 8.5

User scores on gamespot: Halo3: 9.0 Mp3: 9.1

IGN scores: 9.5 vs 9.5

Game stats scores: Halo3: 8.9 Mp3: 9.2

Gamerankings scores: Halo 3 9,4 Mp3 : 9,0

1up: Halo 7.2 (??? what?) Metroid prime 3 9.2

So apparently Metroid Prime 1 is a tiny bit better than Halo: Combat evolved

And Halo2 is a small bit better than Metroid prime 2

As for Halo3 and Metroid Prime 3, it looks like it's too early to tell.

If you read whole the way down here, start your post with a + or ++

Also if you read down here, vote I like cheese, if YOU, yes YOUR OPINION is that, Metroid Prime is a better series overall.

If you read down here and YOUR OPINION is that Halo is better, vote I like pie.

I do this to see, who are just blind fanboys, and who reads the post.

EDIT: Now added Gamestats. If you have a very relevant site, I can add that too.

EDIT 2: AND PLEASE! Saying Halo is rubbish (which some people have) is stupid! It's the tied 3rd best rated FPS on gamespot EVER (tied with MP) The sames is for MP. Halo 2 is also the best rated fps on IGN.

Edit 7 or summit: Added 1up on all. Added GR on the 3s

Why is Halo 3only 7.2?

both have had increasingly worse single players (but still fun) but at least halo has a great multiplayer to go along with it

halo > prime series

I think Metroid is a better series overall, but.. well.. I don't really like Halo at all :?
Then again, I don't play console FPS's.

The original Metroid prime was better than Halo 1 (and 2 & 3).

But after the original Prime, the Halo series took over.

Its sort of weird. I prefer multiplayer FPS on PC but usually i play single player games on PC and play consoles with my friends. But single player looks like win here, as halo 3 needs to be ported to the PC before i would play it multiplayer.

The impression of being in an environment in which You just don't know what happens and carefully make Your first steps, instead of running through all the area's cause You know what to expect, can predict the triggers, and know what to look for?

Metroid Prime 3 delivered probably one of the best single-player experiences I've had since Halo CE (I prefer Halo CE's campaign to Prime 1, even though Prime 1 was good). The more multiplayer shooters I play the more I long for a solid campaign, or TF2 ;), as it seems they're all getting quite run-of-the-mill.

Also understand that Halo 3 also sports 4 player online co-op as well as all its community features.

I did networked four player co-op in classic doom, and with recent mods (that I have for the PC) and rereleases (the XBLA one, in general), online. That's not exactly a new and excited feature, for me at least. OT, but I also did Modem play with DooM and my old 14.4kps with a whopping 4 megs of RAM. Glory days.

I never claimed they were new. But they ARE things that Halo has over Metroid. That and movie, screenshot saving/sharing for both single player and multi.

I've never liked Halo's Single play, but Halo 3 had an amazing SP mode. The music, the choreography everything was excellent.Metroid still wins on SP experience though. Its just class.

For SP - Metroid

MP- Not even mario kart can touch halo's multiplayer

I agree with you. Metroid is highly underrated, and Halo is a bit overrated. Its still an awesome game, but its not like god in physical form like some fanboys think it is.

Tell me a game that has

- Support equal to Halo's

- Review score equal to Halo's

- Is a system seller

Hmm...

Twilight Princess? Actually sold 312 000 gamecubes within the 3 months afterit released... And that's a lot when it sold like 5000 average other than those months.

Also the game has sold 5million copies (GC and Wii togheter) That's more than gears.

But what more can compare to Halo`?

San andreas?

Halo isn't defined the best, but it's right up there with the tops.

I said that it is not the best the game ever, but that it is a very good game.

And if overrated, why did it then get high user scores? What players think make a game good, right? RIGHT?

Man, I played halo at my friend's but didn't find it as good as MP3, yet people do, and I accept that.
