No comparison. You cannot compare a first person shooter to a first person action adventure.

I had more fun with Halo both in single player and multiplayer, however I love MP's atmosphere. Truly an epic feel. Didn't really like the style of game MP was though, really a personal preference though. Both games are truly superb.

I played thru both and was impressed with halo's story telling cut scenes, graphics, vehicular variety and overall 'polish' but for me i liked the atmosphere, art, gameplay depth, bosses and challenge of Metroid prime so much Samas gets my vote :-)

But what you can do is say you were more satified with one more than the other?!? regardless. I think they have enough in common to ask this question(just), it's not as tho you are comparing FIFA to GTA.

Then ask that question... don't do "Metroid Prime VS Halo"

Just ask: "which game were you more satisfied with?"

You gotta admit that it's not fair when a halo fan thats never played metroid or indeed visa versa reads this and chooses his or her favourite as the better game

I'd go Halo, simply because the co-op with a friend and some beers is yet to be surpassed as the most fun I've had with a game.

They are both first person Action Adventure. In Halo, the Exploration may be One Dimensional, but by the industry definitons it is still an Action Adventure.

As to which isthe better game... they are both so Great they can't be ranked anymore.

I enjoyed Metroid Prime and Echoes much more than Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2.

Although my old halo LAN parties were legendary...

1 player Metroid(easly better than halos 1 player) Multi Halo (easly better than Metroids Multi) Better overall game , METROID , simply because the Single Player is very well made and has you thinking and solving puzzles, Even with a great Online Halo just gets boring after awhile , with no sense of accomplishment.

Since both are sci-fi first person shooters according to GS they obviously have their flaws and advantages.

When it comes to storyline and a more epic single player, Metroid Prime 2 wins hands down easily because it has such a deep plot. The downside is that a lot of the story istold through scanning and you have to do a lot of the research for yourself, thus putting together the pieces of the puzzle to find out what happened for the story. You do get some direction in the game as to what the story is, but a lot of it is through scanning.

Halo has a fairly good multiplayer and in the original game the singleplayer was a lot of fun, moderate pace but a lot more linear then Metroid Prime which requires lots of puzzle solving and backtracking. The story is not nearly as good in my opinion, I think it lacks the depth and complexity that Metroid has. The co-op single player was nice in Halo as well, it makes playing on those extremely hard difficulties a little easier.

So I think Metroid Prime is more of my favourite, but Halo CE is still a good game that I don't mind playing once and a while, but I don't think that Halo is all that lemmings make it out to be.

are u guys serious?? i'vecompleted halo CE, halo 2, and MP and MP echoes, and halo was definitely better IMO. And i've been playin' metroid since supermetroid on SNES, i payed zero and fusion on GBA but i'll have to say due to the fact that i takelong breaks durin' playing the metroid prime series, Echoes will be my last purchase.....oh and cuz of the wii too. And it's the same thing over and over again. In the beginning samus has full power....something happens....she loses powers...then she escapes an explosion...then she's in a new planet...now she has to explore planet to achieve some goal and she recovers her powers graduallyin the process....all this with little to no dialogue. OH and i was really peeved with havin' to find all those keys in MP echoes, was i really goin' to go through all the map searching for keys in each room with each visor?? seems to me like a cheap trick to get u to spend time playin' it, and to me, it wasn't too much fun doin' that but thanks to gamesfaq(which don't like usin' as i like to get through games on my own) i found them all. .....and i can play the story mode of halo CE over and over again, but not MP cuz i can't go back to not havin' all my abilities!!!

I think i agree with many others in the halo=direct shooter satifaction and metriod=atmosphere, bosses, artistic.

But those opinions only regard what i was feeling at the time of playing. Looking back, there are far greater shooter's than halo, even in the multiplayer aspect. The feel of metriod game's hasn't really been countered by anything. In my most recent play-through of both games i felt alot more impressed by the lingering appeal of metroid prime. Halo, compared to other recent shooters, feels outdated.

Then again, this may be because halo inspired alot of other developers to clone and improve.

Both are great franchises, but I enjoyed Halo's story more. Halo had a whole backstory with novels etc... The only thing I hated about metroid series was the back tracking. But obviously both are great games. Metriod has a longer and better campaign, but halo had the multiplayer to keep people playing including myself for years. If both games were just single player I would pick Metriod.

I watched my brother play both MP and I have beateb both halo's I have to say halo's better because it more suites me it's faster paced and I like the master cheif as a character more. Although it does take alot more thinking to play metroid then halo and I will be picking up corruptions and halo 3 this holiday season so it may change. MP still is n asome epic game tho love the music.

Then your losing out man the holiday lineup for the wii is the best nintendo has had in YEARS I say shell out the 360 and get MP corruptions it more actiion based graphics (althought not top notch 360) are polished and a noticable stepup from the GC and they have full Voice overs. But I understand were your coming from with your dislike of the MP sereis now.

i highly doubt i'ld miss anything man. i mean xcept for this MP and maybe the new mario kart, i don't see anything else i'ld want on nintendo's new system and it's been like that since GC. The only games i got on the system were the MP's and mario Kart DD, i played RE4 and 0on it too, butthey weren'tmine. i tried to find other games on it everytime i went to get a new ps2 game but wasn't successful. ...And i'm not too big on the Wii remote thngy, i actually think it's cool to do amazing things in a video game without flinching, but i guess i'm alone or one of a few on that...

Oh man, close call - Metroid Prime was a blast, but I never really got the feeling that I was doing something important, like in the Halo: CE campaign. Metroid Prime reinvented the Metroid series, Halo reinvented the console FPS genre. Which was a more important change? Halo: CE DEFINATELY. All I really know though is that when I boot up Halo, chills run down my spine when I hear that theme music start up. I mean you n00bs might call the alien invasion story cliche, but fighting a guerilla war on an alien planet (type thing) is definately not. I mean, it's f***ing badass.

Metroid Prime was fantastic, but it just lacked a real sense of "what I'm doing here actually matters".

Halo: CE wins.

Both are absolutely amazing. Although I just about prefer Metroid Prime. It was the best game of last gen IMO (Halo is my third, second being RE4).
