Best multiplayer thus far on the nintendo ds.
Single player campaign was a bit of a dissapointment and very repetitive. I guess nintendo didnt really focus on this.
But the main focus is multiplayer. Simply briiliant. Youve got 3 choices once you click multiplayer. Single card, multi card and the highlight, 'Nintendo Wifi Connection'. I wanted to hop right in to training with the game's multiplayer mode so i click multi card play. You can practice with bots in that mode before you hop in to the intesity of playing people online. I could barely get a single kill in the first 2 weeks, but i started noticing i was getting better.
The controls. You have to get use to the controls as their is stylus mode, and dual modes. Stylus mode is the default controls, where you will be using the ds' stylus to aim by using the touch screen. It feels a bit awkard at first, but i guarantee, you will get use to it in no time.
The Nintendo Wifi connection is the main highlight of the game. You can find a game so the ds searches for random players around the world, or you can hop into friends and rivals, where you can have a game with your buddies, and rivals (which i will explain) and create rooms use voice chat with your friends. When you hop into the find a random player mode, it will search for players. If you liked playing with that player, at the end of the game click the add rival next to their name. A pretty nifty feature so you can play them again. IF you link your wifi id to nintendowifi.com, you will get a hunters license with all your stats. It is great.
The multiplayer modes are battle, capture, bounty(every man for him self capture the flag), defender (king of the hill), nodes and survival. 98% of the time you will be playing battle.
Metroid Prime hunters is the most awesome fps you can buy although you will end up playing a lot of cheaters online. What can you say? They are there in all online shooters. But if you have a nintendo ds, YOU HAVE TO BUY IT because it is simply one of the best games on the ds.
