I own both and love both equally as much. I admit my 360 does get more play time then the Wii.

However, Metroid Prime 3 is a much better game then bioshock. Bioshock got stale after a few hours of play. It kept the same formula and never changed it up. You did get new powers and weapons but most were useless. Even most of cool powers got useless because the enemies got so strong. Bioshock had a good story but in the end it was just another good fps. Impressive visually, but I wasn't impressed like most of the media. After fighting the big daddy 12 times I was bored with it. Intresting story but the gameplay got old fast.

Metrioid Prime 3 shocked me. I am still playing it today. I hated Metroid Prime 1 and 2. I happened to play a demo at eb a few weeks back and got hooked. The controller layout is awesome, and they fixed the problems with mp1 and2 and you don't get lost as easily. This game is pure polish and is visually impressive. I belive this is the first wii game that I have seen that could not have been done on xbox 1. The story is intresting and the way it unfolds is great. I admit its a bit on the easy side but the boss battles are really tough. If you play on hard then it's a great challenge. Unlocking the powerups add new elements to the game. It's like you don't want to stop playing because you want to see what happens next.

I think MGS games suck balls, but thats my opinion, other people love em. Thats why we have a wonderful thing called choice.

Personally, Bioshock is easily my fav console game of the year so far.

Metroid Prime's boss fights alone push it ahead of Bioshock, plus a comparable artistic quality makes Metroid Prime 3 better.

Prime series never appealed to me at all, maybe MP3 could change that, but I havent played it yet. Bioshock was amazing, best game this gen so far.

It's alot less linear than bioshock and put more of a emphasis on exploration. Those are pluses in my book.

Metroid Prime was excellent, and I played longer then I played Bioshock.

While they are both great game, I simply enjoyed Bioshock more.

But that's impossible.

Metroid got an 8.5, Bioshock got a 9!

Obviously those opinions are right and there's no way you could disagree.

ppl have differing opinions....it just so happens that the MAJORITY likes bioshock more. I personally dont like the MP series (and im a huge fan of the old school 2D ones) never played 3 but i played the first 2, they were just too frustrating and tedious to me. I have nothing against the 3rd one but im just not interested since everybody says its the same old game. But i love bioshock.

I personally am tired of the immature "every game site is 360 bias" argument. I mean if they dont agree with u then that automatically means they are bias? gimme a break. its like the retarded " halo is overated" argument. If YOU dont like appreciate then that doesnt make it overated, that makes it not built for YOU. Its one of the most played games out there and hype alone would cause that.

It seems like alot of people are voting bioshock without even playing Metroid Prime 3. People are saying "its just like the other primes" It is not. I hated both prime 1 and 2. 3 is a much better and more polished games. It also is not like your alone anymore either.

I own both consoles, and I finished Bioshock and am still salivating for more! On the other hand, I got to the 4th planet in Metroid and haven't played it since.

Metroid is a 3D version of the old metroid.. in other words, its a fun game for 20 years ago. The story is lifeless, the game is a combination of marble blast and a second-rate FPS with bad and predictable AI.

Bioshock is sickeningly beautiful, with a very well written story, excellent voice acting & top-notch dialog. The exploration, attention to detail, awesome FPS mechanics just suck you right in to the story to the point where you are living & breathing inside the world of Rapture.

People who call Bioshock "repetitive" and "full of useless plasmids" clearly have the attention span of a gerbil. The story is so immense and deep that the small gameplay issues fail to decrease the game as a whole. All the different plasmids are great fun to use. Since there are so many of them it provides great replay value. Such a great game... I hated Metroid 1 with a passion so I don't see how Bioshock can be worse than MP3.

I'm glad you are enjoying Prime 3. It really is a great game. I just wish other people would see that, or at least give it a try before they blindingly bash it like half the people in this thread.

I think all three Prime games, especially Metroid Prime, are the most underappreciated games despite receiving such high acclaim and excellent scores. I mean Metroid Prime is the third highest rated game of all time, but tons of people act like it is complete and utter crap. The Prime series by no means gets the respect it deserves, and I just find that rather sad.

But back on topic, I hope the game becomes even more enjoyable for you.

Bioshock is boring technical perfection > fun factor. And yes, I played through a good chunk of it and shook my head at the hype. Good game I suppose as an overall package, but MP3, though graphically inferior, is a funner, more enjoyable play experience.

Man....I'm agreeing with a Nintendo gamer....what's wrong with me today? :(

I would put MP3 behind both 1 and 2. I have not finished it yet (I think Im in the last area)Having mulitple planets annoyed me... I really liked all the depth and story of a single planet has rather then the smaller amount given to each of the planets in MP3. There is a LOT less exploring in MP3, much less powerups to collect, much less options with weapons, and the atmosphere is lessened by the constant objectives. Even wiith the game hints turned off, you are instructed exaclty where to go. The bosses are also a let down (three Metroid hatcher encouters?)Before getting the nova cannon, it just took forever to kill some enemies (combat is not fun).The first MP was a great experiance that was only rivaled by SSBM the past 2 gens, and I still think it better then anything that came out this gen... but the third game was disappionting.

MP3 was the best action, bossfights, and gameplay among the metroids but it lost alot of that exploration feel and all that stuff.

Top to bottom Bioshock did better IMO.

Story check.
Graphics check
Atmosophere check.
Gameplay they are equals on that one
Depth check


Bioshock IMO is the superior hybrid first person shooter.

Well thats good to hear MP3 is different to its predeccesors, because metroid prime to me was very overated. Its a good game definitely, but I probably would've given it more of an 8 than a 9.7. But I'm really interested in MP3. Judging from a couple of videos, the controls look fantastic!

I played MP1 and 2 so number 3 is boring to me. I egerally got mine on launch, and I've still only played about 4 hours!
