I don't own either yet, but I'm thinking of borrowing Zelda from my neighbor. I pick Zelda just because FPS are nowhere near as fun on the Wii and I have plenty of CoD4ing to do, anyway.

MP3 is an FPA not FPS. but its FPS controls are way better than anything you'd get from a 360/PS3.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Zelda for Wii isnt that good. I did think it was good when i first played it but after completion i felt dissapointed. I enjoyed Wind Waker much, much more. Also, the controls are lackluster (WAGGLE FTW) besides aiming. Metroid Prime 3 uses the Wiiremote controls effectively and its easily a must have.

MP3 is an FPA not FPS. but its FPS controls are way better than anything you'd get from a 360/PS3.

First of all, what's an FPA? Never heard of it. All I know is that you run around and shoot things in MP3, which makes it an FPS in my eyes.

As for your statement about Wii FPS controls being better than 360/PS3 FPS controls... :lol: I bought Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, which supposedly has the best FPS controls on the Wii, and it was utter crap! 360/PS3 FPS controls may not be up to par with PC FPS controls, but they're definitely better than Wii FPS controls.

you know they start it off default, and you can adjust the bounding box to make it really tiny. It plays better than dual analog, the Wiimote and Mouses/Keyboard practically make Dual analog FPS obsolete.

As for Metroid Prime 3, FPA refers to First Person Adventure, which is what metroid is. You solve puzzles, finding items, jumping from platform to platform, and you have a lock-on button. -- Yes you shoot things and run around, but its not like a COD or Halo where your just shooting things. Its not a contant pace of shooting enemies.

Twilight Princess... without a doubt. Although I'd probably take the original Metroid Prime over Twilight Princess.

Metroid or Zelda? Hmmmm. It's a hard choice but I'd go with Zelda. I still play through it and MP3 got old after I beat it.

I have both. Got about 12 hours into TP and haven't touched it since. Just beat MP3 the other day...it was a blast from start to finish. IMO MP3 just has way more exciting gameplay and MUCH better pacing, so it gets my vote.

TP is the best 3D Zelda experience around, automatically making it one of the best games ever. I know there are a ton of TP haters on these forums, but that's the truth. It took the good from all of the 3D Zeldas and melded it into one great experience. A lot of people, I think, were disappointed because it didn't meet their expectations of the game... I went in with no expectations, and I was absolutely amazed by it.

MP3 is the best Prime, imo, for the same reasons, making this a very tough choice. If I had to take one, I'd take TP, because I am a bigger Zelda fan than Metroid fan, but no better reason than that. Both are absolutely fantastic games in their own rights.

MP3 by far. TP wasn't all that good, now if the next Zelda comes out and makes full use of the Wii and adds something fresh to the series than I'd go back to loving the Zelda series. For now though I still prefer Corruption over Twilight Princess.

I own both of those games... and I prefer Twilight Princess immensly (even though my reviews say otherwise -- I'll have to change them). After playing through most of the new Metroid game, I can say safely... that it's disappointing. The story is ludicrous, and I was really expecting more. On the other hand, TP delivered exactly what was asked for it -- a solid Zelda game.

yeah, TP just feels kind of outdated in its presentation, and the controls.....well, its pretty obvious that it was a launch game. mp3 is more polished, fast paced and more challenging. and at the time, the controls absolutely blew me away.

Even though the controls were tacked on and did nothing to really make the game better, it midi music, no voice acting and outdated visuals I still preferred TP as it had a long and epic quest and restored to the series to it's roots of OOT. MP3 was great no doubt, but I haven't played a traditional Zelda game since OOT (nothing against MM or WW).

just curious to know what would be your game of choice and why? simple.GraemeXx

They're both games that are at the end of their cycles for originality. Neither of them did anything to take their respective series' forward, and marked the point when every last bit was milked out of either game series. Having said that, I didn't care for Metroid Prime 3 AT ALL. The games graphics were spotty in many places, bland in others. The shooting became repetitive as bosses took 30-40 minutes to kill sometimes. Can you say, Hand Cramp? And only one weapon? Are you ******* serious, Nintendo? Also the voice acting, character models, and storyline were all aboslutely terrible.

Zelda:TP, while not offering much in terms of fresh gameplay (aside from the Wii controls), still had that irreplaceable Zelda magic. Another shining example of how to beautifully craft a videogame. ;)

I've always been more of a Metroid fan than a Zelda fan, but Metroid Prime 3 just got boring towards the end, and I never bothered to finish it.

On the other hand, I played all 40 (or whatever) hours of Twilight Princess in one or two weeks...so I guess that I preferred Zelda.

They're both the worst in their 3D series, in my opinion.

Metroid Prime 3 was actually an improvement from 2(but not 1 sadly).

TP was highly dissapointing.

I would say Metroid Prime 3, but ill probably be on the minority side no game is as underrated as Metroid Prime 3.

Never played 2... but part 1 was one of my all-time favorites, and 3 is almost trash.

Well I got TP at launch and its the worst 3D Zelda yet, dissapointing. I have no intention of buying Prime 3 either.
