Probably the best $35 ever spent. Period.
User Rating: 9.3 | Metroid Prime: Hunters DS
So, yah, you're a big DS fan. You've probably been waiting for this game since the demo was released way back in 2004. You were ticked off when it got delayed. You waited patiently, patiently, patiently. And then it was finally released. You said during the checkout, "This better be good..." and was it? YES!!!!! With sweet multiplayer features, a cool, but short, story mode, Metroid Prime: Hunters was everything you were hoping it was. Ok, so there may be some cons, like no non-gun weapons and not being able to use the other hunters except in multiplayer (might I add NO bots...), but, hey! That's what Metroid Prime: Hunters II is for, right? :) The controls are superb; I found myself used to the touchscreen movement in minutes. I love the pin-point capabilities that the DS stylus offers that the PSP pad thingie does not. The graphics are totally up to par with the specs of the DS, and I have had no lag times yet. The levels are entertaining, and the multiplayer maps bring back unrelated memories of playing Perfect Dark 64. The sound effects and music are sweet, and the menu music is probably the best metroid track ever. So, in the end, was it worth the wait? If you say no, well, I guess your mom must've dropped you on your head when you were a baby.
