This game is incredible! Best controlds ever for a FPS. If you have any doubt, just play it. The graphics look slightly better or about the same as Halo 2. I'm pro Nintendo yes, but I like games on all 3 consoles and Metroid Prime 3 is without a doubt the best game I have ever played next to Resident Evil 4. Amazing game. JDW_games


Corruption is freakin addiction. ADDICTION! This game rocks.

I've said this for a while, although its good, face the facts, MP never looked better than Halo 2 in a technical standpoint. Artistically, its in a league of its own. Artistically better than Halo? Yea, I would say so.

yes because of metroid primes non stop multiplayer action, oh wait...

OMG another Frag feast with Mediocre Single so original, UT3 kills Halo's Multiplayer and then your left with a boring 1 time play single mode. At least I'll be able to enjoy Metroid Prime 3 for it's great single instead of another frag feast which can be found in nearly any game. This is the same for Bioshock as well as MP3.

At least i'll be able to enjoy a 4 player online co-op single player campaign.

coop is easily the best part of halo IMO, I preffer split screen but online is ok too.

Overall I preffer metroid, but really they are two different genres.

[QUOTE="DuDisNow"]

now Halo 3 will be way better than it, because it has a review, 5/5, and IGN and EGM/1up say it's amazing. So what you just said is not true.

By the way, I played and it was good, just not great.

CaseyWegner

mp3 had a 10/10 so it is twice as good as your 5/5! :o

LOL, thats nice casey.

So far I'm agreeing with matts 9.5 over at IGN. This game is so freaking amazing easily the best metroid IMO.

[QUOTE="drew0011"]

[QUOTE="PapaJohn24"]Halo: Combat Evolved has one of the greatest storylines ever in a game. And it definitely has the best story of any FPS since Marathon. Try actually playing the game. Then maybe you will understand why there are four novels in the Halo universe, plus another coming out soon, and why Peter Jackson would sign on to produce a Halo film. (He isn't doing a MP movie I see...) Halo's singleplayer trumps Metroid in every way whether it be the storyline, the music, graphics, gameplay, weapons, vehicles, innovation and the like. Heh, jumping puzzles and space pirates. Yup, real epic. Especially for a series where the biggest twist still is that the main character was a female. Whoop-de. PapaJohn24

You're blind if you think that Halo:CE has an original story. its a simplified and dumbed down version of the Marathon trilogy. MArathon by farhas a superior story to halo.

Um, Marathon is made by Bungie... of course they got most of their ideas from it. Heck, it's almost in the same universe they're so alike. But Bungie also got inspiration from great Sci-Fi classics like Ringworld, Ender's Game and Starship Troopers. Unlike Metroid, come on, space pirates. Heh.

Your insulting Nintendo for trying to create an original storyline over 20 years ago, yet your praising a game for taking elements of different stories and combining them to create a new one? Simply amazing.

MP3 is a great game. If you are a gamer, you would at LEAST appreciate everything that MP3 is. The motion controls are a phenomenon for a console FPS, no small feat. The adventuring is grand and the puzzles are very creative. You owe it to yourself as a gamer to at LEAST appreciate MP3.

i still don't understand how you're justifying that halo 3 will be better than mp3 by saying that halo 3 got a perfect score and positive previews. mp3 did too. :?

Although it doesn't fit everyone, I have heard the majority of people with both games saying that MP3 was a better experience than Bioshock regardless of the graphical comparison.

Having played both Bioshock and MP3, I can ensure you that combat in Metroid Prime 3 is much more enjoyable (enemies and especially bosses). A more enjoyable experience overall? I can't say, but I'm leaning toward no.

I haven't played MP3 yet..........but given that I dont especially care for the series I'm not going to agree.

I'd take Co-op, large battles with vehicular combat, and a great MP over anything Metriod Prime could spit out.

Hey Metroid still has a chance of fps or fpa of the year, and halo 3 isn't even out yet so it still has a chance of being a bad game.

[QUOTE="JDW_games"]Lots of Nintendo haters out there. It's called Jealousy. Metroid owns Halo. Period. Laugh all you want, it's true. DuDisNow

Wow, a blind Fanboy sis saying Prim is worse then Halo? Well, look at both of the second games, Halo 2 did better. And now look at MP3, it flopped, it was hyped AAA, but I knew it would get a 8.5 becuase it didn't look like an AAA. But and now Halo 3 will be way better than it, because it has a review, 5/5, and IGN and EGM/1up say it's amazing. So what you just said is not true.

By the way, I played and it was good, just not great.

So basically all you care about is a lame score? HAHAHA A good game is a good game. Metroid has not flopped. It will sell plenty of copies. Nintendo fans are much more true to gaming than the lamo 260 owners ... oops I mean 360. Don't those things break a lot? :P

:lol: More people not playing the game and then talking smack about it. "Bu bu teh GS says it got an 8.5 meaning it sucks. ROFL." Go out and play the game. Or at least stop being so one dimensional and go read some different reviews. More reviewers gave it a better score.

Actually the MP3 graphics are superior to halo 2. Its the aret style, the only thing that Halo 2 might have is character models, maybe, but as far as envirnments, Metroid Prime 3 is way better than Halo 2

Pretty much sums up the things MP3 doesnt have. Argument completely fails, get over it, it failes to get its AAA status on GS.

So tell me, how would they have done co-op in MP3? In a worthless story like Halo, it doesn't matter if you have to MC's, but two Samus' wouldn't do to well now would it? Consider things.

Which has to do with anything? my point was that a game does not need multiplayer to be excellent, which is the case with MP3.
