 I want your babies.

I don't think it's boring. Maybe you weren't really good at it.

The only thing I'm trying to say here is that Metroid was amazing in 2D, but its not so hot in 3D.TheXboxgamer73

I agree, 2D Metroid was better. Especially Super Metroid.

Have to say that playing through metroid prime on the gamecube was one of the biggest chores I have ever had to go through... so much pointless backtracking and uninspiring battles. IMHO it does not hold a candle to Halo, Half Life, Resistance, Gears or most FPS's. Sheep talk about nintendo innovating then lets see how much they change the metroid formula aside from the controls. dblin

A) Metroid Prime isn't in the same genre as Halo (FPS), Half Life (FPS), Resistance (FPS), or Gears (TPS), so anyone who compares them this way ends up owning themselves.

B) Innovation? Really, where's the innovation in Resistance? Halo 2? I can't really talk too much about Half Life since I didn't play it much, but from what I know, Half Life wasn't the most innovative game ever, either; just the best put-together and complete FPS.

The fact of the matter is, the first Metroid Prime was extremely innovative. Have you ever played another game like it? Please don't mention any of the above games, because if you do, you'll only look ignorant. I have no problem with you not liking the style of gameplay in MP (which rewards exploration and backtracking more than the mindless slaughter of enemies), but to call it not innovative is just blind. Maybe Metroid Prime 3 won't be that innovative, but so far from what I've played of Halo 3 (the beta), it isn't either. Sometimes the important part of making a sequel is refinement. We'll see how they do on that...

The spider ball tower,        /argument.

 Most FPS games don't require anything more that pointing the aimer at the enemy, and pulling the trigger.

Do you know what is Metroid about? :|

Well, 90% of gamers disagree with you then. I don't think any site/magazine has given MP1 a score below 8, and if you were to ask any hardcore gamer what games would be in their Top 10 list of best last-gen games, most would include MP1.

Well, I disagree with you, personally I loved the style of the game. For example, how you have to remember things, say a litte spiderball track in some room that you can't use yet might eventually lead to an energy tank that makes the boss your on a little easier.

On the other hand, I found Halo to be a mediocre shooter, I couldn't stand to play Gears after the first hour, and I've never played half life so I can't comment. I did enjoy F.E.A.R at first though its gets very tedious, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R was plain awsome.

Opinions.

Agreed. Metroid ranks in the top 5 worst games i played last gen.

I'll rephrase your point..."I hate exploration games.  This requires me to think, and I can't fire my weapon as often!  I don't like having to use my noggin to play a videogame.  I just want to shoot stuff."  Is that the innovation you want? :lol:

Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion. Fun. 

Metroid Prime and the alike. Crap.

They really killed the adventuring of the game with all that z-lock, pattern boss fights bull. 

halo is boring, hl is boring, metroid is boring.

yes im speaking complete crap, kinda like the tc it seems. 

I bet the TC didn't even scan for story. Just ran around and killed the baddies.Jandurin

I'm willing to be everyone who thought the game was boring did that. I honestly don't see how you could say It was boring.
