I'm not one to complain much about the controls of a game but quite honestly the controls for Metroid Prime: Hunters on the DS make this game completely unplayable (for me at least). I loved the Metroid games on the cube and the 2d GBA versions but this game I can offer no love. When using the stylus, its very presice if a little "slippery" but I am in PHYSICAL PAIN after only 10mins playtime! I was facing the 2nd boss the other day and I swear I thought I had crippled my hands after beating it. Switching to the duel d-pad/buttons combo didn't help much either - I am no longer in pain but now I can't aim properly! Sadly the first metroid game, heck even the first nintendo game thatIcannot enjoy at all due to controls. I've read many people praising the controls for this game, but quite honestly, I don't think FPSs work on the DS.

There are other reasons I don't like the game much (mainly because it is more "shooty" than other Metroids) but controls are the big one, so thats off to ebay.

On another note - I love boxing training! Its harder than my previous Taekwondo training and I get to punch doods in the face as an added bonus. Very therapeutical. Silat (a French martial art) is also pretty cool too (as is of course the main Jeet Kune Do I'm doing.
