Awesome first person shooter for the DS. Best online handheld.
User Rating: 8.5 | Metroid Prime: Hunters DS
This game is awesome for a DS fps. It really uses the DS's strong points to make up for its weaknesses. The DS has never really been strong graphics wise. The psp really blows it out of the water on that front. But what it lacks in looks, it makes up in playability. The controls on Hunters is really intuitive and the aim is precise. Its really satisfying to aim up a shot on the imperialist and headshot a difficult target. With an almost computer game like accuracy to the controls, it really shines in that area. The single player is pretty decent. When I bought the game, I really thought I wasn't going to play the single player, but when I tried it, it turned out to be a pretty solid game. While some parts are really repetitive, overall, it is a full metroid prime game in it's own rights. With the full scan visor and multiple weapons, it really does a good job of making the game rewarding. The single player is good but what makes this game shine is the multiplayer. The frantic action of the multiplayer really gets you into it. There are those players online who are sore losers and can't stand losing to you and those who use action replay cheats but aside from them, the online wi-fi is filled with competitive rivals battling for those stars that signify your rank. All in all, the game is a really good game for the DS that really gets your heart pumping and those fingers moving.
