What was your favorite first person shooter of 2007?

Yeah, sorry I couldn't include Crysis, Halo 3, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Team Fortress 2, and all that good stuff.

Anyway, I know Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is considered a first person adventure by many, but that's only because that's what the first two were. Honestly, the third one is more of an FPS than anything...

...And it's the best one I played last year. Yeah, I haven't even finished it yet! I got it for Christmas 2007, played a bunch of other games, and bought No More Heroes on January 22, 2008. After I got it, I just stopped playing it, but I started playing it again yesterday, and it's incredible. The environments and artistic direction definitely make up for the fact that the graphics aren't technically as good as a game like Call of Duty 4. Seriously, it has the second best level design this generation, in my opinion. But on top of looking and sounding great, it also plays great. The controls are spot on and rival that of even Mouse/Keyboard, especially since it has an analog stick. The Wii Remote lacks a few buttons, but Retro Studies did an excellent job of including everything they wanted to include move-wise without making the controls bad.

Overall, I can't wait to get into this again. I can't believe I stopped playing it. It's great. It like it more than the first one already.

Also, I didnt' play Crysis or STALKER first hand, but all the other ones I named (Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Call of Duty 4, and the like, I did play).

What say you? We are, again, considering Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as an FPS in this poll.

Crysis for SP

and CoD4 for MP

The poll fails hard... Wheres Halo 3? BioShock? The Orange Box?bamafan1359

Honestly, dude, I think I did a good job of picking choices out.

Also, The Orange Box... I do NOT consider that one game. Half-Life 2 came out in 2004, and Half-Life 2: Episode One in 2006. I don't count that. Only Episode Two.

I wanted to include Halo 3 and BioShock, but I felt that those four choices were the best. A few people will disagree with me, yeah, but that's why I always include the "Other" option. So vote for that, if you want.

Metroid Prine 3 should not be on there. Sorry that you're a nintendo fanboy, but it doesn't need to be there.

Crysis, CoD 4, Halo 3 and STALKER should be the list.

I'd name a PS3 game, but we didn't get any great exclusive FPS's. Maybe if you had half a mind your Wii fanboyism would allow you to admit the same.

Since I didn't play the entirety of STALKER until 2008 I will have to go with Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal. STALKER was easily the best from 2007 that I played though. I also played Final Doom in 2007 for the first time... The Plutonia Experiment is fantastic.foxhound_fox

Well, I meant just games that released in 2007. I first played Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Portal in 2008, but I still consider them in the 2007 category.

Also, Portal would be second, but I don't consider it an FPS. It was a great game (I personally feel that the ORIGINAL Half-Life is still slightly better, however.), but it definitely was not an FPS. It was in first person, and you made your way through the game using only portals. You did have to mess with some turrets and GLaDOS, but that's about it. I say it's definitely more of a puzzler. Definitely. It's in first person, but it doesn't have the "shooter" aspect to it.

Halflife Episode 2 and Crysis.

As much as I like Stalker, the bug's and confusing story would make it a third place.

Metroid Prine 3 should not be on there. Sorry that you're a nintendo fanboy, but it doesn't need to be there.

Crysis, CoD 4, Halo 3 and STALKER should be the list.

I was about to type out something rather cruel, but since it will lead to nothing, I decided not to.

Deal with the choices there. It's not like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption isn't worthy of being put next to Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and STALKER.

OB is the best.

Crysis and Stalker tie for second.

Everything else is...

Lol, instead of putting Crysis, Halo 3, TF2, you put Metroid Prime 3 Corruption? :PChiddaPotta

Hell yes!

I expected to get these type of responses. Honestly, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption must be really under-appreciate if it can't be put next to those games.

The only ones I played were Halo 3, COD4, Metroid Prime 3, MOH:H2. I'm going to have to go with COD4.

A very smooth and fluid shooter. I liked it a lot.

No offense but it's pretty funny how your avatar and sig are covered in Metroid. And you pick COD :P

no bioshock? ReaperV7

Sorry, I was going to, but not enough room.

You know, I remember both released in August 2007, so this was all about a year ago:

I didn't really go to GameSpot that much because I still had good ol' NSider. Anyway, I remember being so disappointed that I couldn't experience BioShock because I didn't have a 360. I said that I'd trade Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in for BioShock, which now I find ridiculous, because BioShock was over-hyped through the roof, and there's definitely better shooters in 2007 more worthy of the praise than BioShock got.

Once I came here, I realized that my PC was powerful enough to run BioShock. So in May 2008, I played BioShock, and was disappointed. It isn't what I wanted it to be or what I thought it was going to be, but I still thought it was a great game.

lol. Well, I don't really think of the Prime series when I think of FPS -- to me, its FPA. There's a huge discussion of whether it is or not, but to me, its a FPA. It's not your typical shooter -- also, overall, the Metroid games are not shooters.

Plus, for some reason, COD4 reminds me a lot of CS -- and I loved CS until I quit playing it.

Except it isn't worthy. You're comparing a Non-HD, Wiimotecontrolled game with no multiplayer ot three HD FPS's with outstanding multiplayer modes, and online content. Not to mention Halo and Stalker's Map Editors. MP3 may be able to at least compete SP wise, but you can't seriously believe it can be put up there as a complete package.

The Darkness for Single Player. Halo 3 for Multi Player. I'm playing through the Prime games right now. I laugh at anyone who thinks they don't stand up to any of the other games listed.yellowandmushy

Yes, exactly. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is such a damn good game. It got the same score as Halo 3 on IGN, and it got the same score as STALKER on GameSpot.

Why do you guys think it can't stand up as one of the best FPSs in 2007?

And yes, Metroid Prime 3 isn't a shooter. It is a first-person shooter, adventure, platformer hybrid. Like Deus Ex is a first person shooter, role-playing hybrid.foxhound_fox

Yes, there's a huge debate going on universally whether or not Prime 3 is an actual FPS. I only considered it an FPS in this poll, so I could include it as an FPS of 2007. There's really not many FPAs. I like that style better, though. I mean, I get tired of the constant shooting. I've never played an "FPS" that hasn't felt extremely repetitive throughout the entire game. Yes, I understand that you might consider the Prime series a bit repetitive, but they took away most of the backtracking in Prime 3.

I thought BioShock was supposed to be an FPA. It would've been a much better game if it focused more on exploration than shooting. But then I played the game and realized that I got a different game than I wanted. I still somehow gave it a 9, though, even though I should've given it a much lower score.

1- Crysis
2- Halo 3
3- Bioshock
4- S.T.A.L.K.E.R
5- The Orange Box
6- Call of Duty 4
7- Metroid Prime 3
8- The Darkness

everything else i honestly didn't like enough to praise

Unreal Tournament 3 was terrible
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 was boring.

Call of Duty 4's single player is short and underwhelming compared to Call of Duty 1's. Halo 3's seems like an afterthought. Maybe an exaggeration, but it's definitely not what people buy the game for.

It seems like these games didn't really need a single player mode, at least in my opinion. Their main focus is on multiplayer, and that's what they excel at.

Prime 3 may not have multiplayer, but it doesn't need it to outclass other games in its genre. Super Mario Galaxy doesn't have multiplayer, and yet it still outranked every Ratchet and Clank game to date.

NO! I never said that! Stop putting words into my mouth. I was referring to the Ratchet and Clank games WITH multiplayer. I played the third one, and played the multiplayer. I know the third one has online. And I own Ratchet: Deadlocked and think the multiplayer is bad.

I guess I should've pointed out that I was not referring to Tools of Destruction, because I knew people would automatically assume that I was referring to the latest entry in the series. :roll:

So to clarify, no, I never said that. I do my homework. Believe me.

TF2 and the Orange box.

I see what you mean. I honestly do consider Prime 3 an FPA, but I didn't in this case only because I wanted to see how many votes it would get. But you're right; the primary focus in the Prime games aren't about shooting. There's a heavy emphasis on exploring, like in Zelda, and that's not what FPSs are about. Like Zelda isn't a hack and slash, like God of War, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry are, but it does have a combat system.

I just wanted to see how many votes it'd get. Honestly, that's the only reason why it was included in this poll; just to see how much appreciation it gets.
