A good FPS, but a not-so-good Metroid game.
User Rating: 8 | Metroid Prime: Hunters DS
Metroid Prime Hunters is a good FPS, it's just not a good Metroid game. Metroid Prime Hunters is the latest installment in the great Metroid Prime serise focuses allot more on multiplayer than anything else. Privious Metroid games have been all about the exploration and puzzle solving and now they are shifting gears. MPH does have a single player mode, it's just not that great. All you really do in single player mode is collect artifacts to unlock doors that lead to bosses and the bosses are frequintly reused too. On the other hand, it has great graphics and it has what is probabely the best wi-fi multiplayer yet. There are plenty of maps, 5 selectable characters, and an online ranking system. The multiplayer aspect is highly addictive and more than makes up for the poor single player campaign and is worth buying just for that. In the end, like I said earlier this game is not really ment for Metroid fans, more for Halo or other multiplayer game fans. It is unlike any other Metroid game and I hope they go back to the old Metroid formula in future games.
