Halo or Metroid?

Well if we go by gamespot

Halo (9.7) + Halo 2 (9.4) + Halo 3 (9.5) = 28.6

MP (9.7) + MP2 (9.1) + MP3 (8.5) = 27.3

Therefore Halo is better

And people saying Halo was only a success for its multiplayer are wrong. Sure LAN parties were awesome, as was splitscreen but there was no XBL, Halo was just as successful due to its brilliant campaign.

Halo is an FPS. Metroid has transitioned from side-scrolling Metroidvania (yes, it has a genre with its own name) to First Person Adventure and back to side-scrolling Metroidvania. It's like comparing shoes to clouds.

But, if I had to choose my favorite franchise, Metroid. I think the games are better and more unique than Halo.

I'm sure that Metroid doesn't qualify as an Adventure game. Probably it's a mecha game since you control a robot.

LOL Gamerankings. Youre just choosing sites to suit your argument. Metacritic (which is much better than GR) has the highest of each series at 97.

All thats irrelevant though, as only GS scores matter here.

Halo > Metroid. Sorry.

Not even close to the same thing, but I enjoy Metroid more. It just has a much more memorable atmosphere to it, and such a good soundtrack too. I remember playing Metroid on the SNES a long time ago, it was always kind of creepy.

And no, Metacritic is not better than GameRankings. Metacritic is only better when it comes to recent games, but when it comes to older games, GameRankings is far superior, collecting many older reviews that Metacritic ignores. For Halo, Metacritic has 68 reviews to GameRankings' 76 reviews, while for Metroid Prime, Metacritic has 70 reviews to GameRankings' 84 reviews. Since GameRankings includes much more reviews than Metacritic for both Halo and Metroid Prime, GameRankings' score is a much better indicator in this case...

Metroid Prime (96.35%) > Halo (95.58%). Sorry.

[QUOTE="Jag85"] On GameRankings, Metroid Prime (96.35%) is more highly rated than any of the Halo games (the highest of which is the original at 95.58%). Therefore, Metroid Prime is better.
