Adventure mode is horrible. Level design is beyond repetitive and the bosses are boring as hell, to match the rest of the adventure. The adventure can't shake a stick at previous Metroids on the GCN. The game isn't a first-person adventure nemore, its a first-person shooter. And because of this transformation u do alot more shooting and killing rather then discovering. And even tho the game revolves around killing, the single-player lags constantly if there's too many enemies in 1 area. The Scanning system is near pointless as nothing is all too interesting. If this game would have released without wifi, it would of been the biggest dissappointment on the ds. Now on to what saves this game from being the worst Metroid ever, Multiplayer. It's got single card local lan play to go along with multi card and of course online play. Single card play is great as its not too limiting to othr players(they have to b samus, but u can play on ne lvl on ne mode). Multi card plays just as good xcept, obviously, every1 chooses their own character. Online play is pretty awesome xcept the service went down on me the first few days it was released, but it hasnt happened recently and i doubt it will happen much more if at all. Multiplayer has a decently large amount of modes(6 or so im not too sure) to choose from tho i honestly find myself going back to battle mode alot. There's also 27 levels to choose from in multiplayer tho u will have to unlock them to play at them(same thing with othr hunters, u can unlock hunters and levels by either progressing thro the adventure or defeating the hunters online, or beating people at the locked level). There's voice chat(online only and only before and after matches) and while it isn't crystal clear it's usually understandable, the only major downfall of this is tht u can only chat with friends. Now multi player would b near perfection if it wasn't for the other bounty hunters. Honestly they're so uneven it makes me cry, the developers did a horrible job with making them equal. Sylux is by far the cheapest, his shock coil and lockjaw r some of the cheapest things ive seen and used in the game. There's also the fact tht only four ppl can play on multiplayer, but tht's expected as it's a portable game. This games got quite a learning curve to it but once u get used to the touch screen ull b a sharp shooter in no time. The Adventure will keep u away, while the online play will keep u coming back for more. Graphics are beautiful, for the ds, i dont remember ne n64 game looking even close to how good this game looks, other then the lag in single player, these graphics are some of the best ull c on the ds. My advice is if u dont plan on going online with Hunters then dont get it, i know i wouldnt of bought this game if i didnt have a router.
