8.5/10 MY ASS ! This game is an instant classic and a must-have !
As everyone knows, metroid and halo are each others equivalents, one is for Nintendo, the other is for Sony, the one encourages great single player while the other encourages great multiplayer. But most of all, metroid prime hunters is way more innovative with a great new control scheme and technically proficient graphics, that, although they're not so different from the Gamecube version, are pleasent for the good ol' eyes. I've enjoyed this game, and while the campaign wasn't as long as i'd hoped it to be, it was excellent, innovating and a great experience. Although one might say i'm a nintendo fanboy, i wouldn't say hes lying, i've been a nintendo fan since i was only 3 feet tall, and i'll continue to be nintendo fan, untill i die. But, and i must admit, i do love microsoft as well. I got age of empires when i was only 7 years old, and i absolutely loved it. I'll continue to buy microsoft computers as they make new age of empires games. That's why i think i can judge fairly objective, as i love both microsoft and nintendo. And to be honest, ive come to the conclusion that the reviewer of this game was looking for a halo game disguised in metroid style. He didn't find it, and only rated it avaragely for a metroid game. Yes, it's too bad it doesn't have such a decent online gameplay as halo, but don't forget, 10 years ago, people didn't complained because there was no online gameplay, no, they actually ENJOYED single player gameplay. I mean, i know it's everybodies dream to play online with other puberescent little boys, but i certainly don't enjoy online gameplay that much.
So to come to a conclusion here : buy this game ! No, seriously, if you want a decent shooter with excellent gameplay, just buy this, and the new controls are quite fun !
