Metroid Prime Hunters (2006 Video Game) User Reviews

Great Game, but really hard to get into.

I've heard nothing but good things when I went to pick this game up. Unfortunately that changed as I started to get into the game. The graphics are great, but really fuzzy, making some things a little hard to see. Also it's hard to play. The game isn't hard, the controls are hard, so hard that I fear many will be drop this game, and pick up something else, such as Mario Kart. But, the controls are tolerable, and you will get use to them, eventually. It actually feels like you are playing with a key board and mouse with this game. But you'll still feel a twinge of discomfort, as it's a really cramped space between your hands, unlike on the computer.

The game is also very linear, and it loses some of that classic metroid feel. It also seems a tad short, and the repetition early in the game, can be unbearable.

However, despite all these bad things, the game is fun, and worth a rental in the very least.

If you don't have WiFi, or friends to play with, this game gets a 5/10. However, the multiplayer is where this game shines. And boy does it shine. 20+ levels, WiFi, several characters, different weapons, different modes, and bots, makes this game easily the best multiplayer in the Metroid Series, and rivals that of Mario Kart. You could probably even go and pick up this game just for the multiplayer! Overall, if your in just for the main story, then you may want to pass this up if you never played a Metroid game before. Metroid fans will want to play this, but only once or twice tops. But if you have a lot of friends, and time on your hands, then the multiplayer in this game could easily make this game one of the best on the DS.

This is what the DS was made for!

When I bought this the first day it came out, I was excited for the new Metorid. But, right when I pushed the power button, not only was it a great game, it was a masterpiece! The presentation was great, the sound was the same haunting Metroid soundtrack, and I was looking at the best looking DS game I've ever played. The presentation was awesome! Right when the opening video came on, I knew I picked up the right game. The soundtrack. Wow! I never heard such haunting music on a hand-held video game. Some times I would just listen to it with my mouth open and listen. The graphics are better then a N64 game. I would stare at these amazing graphics forever. Now the best thing on this game would be the multi player! I was playing a hand-held halo it seemed like. So many things to do, so many fun ways to kill! The single player was good, but, multi player is where it is. So if there is a game to get, this is it! ALL HAIL METROID!

Amazing multiplayer / Great gameplay / Good story

I picked up a DS Lite recently and this happened to be one of the games I ordered with it. When this first came out, the multiplayer was revolutionary for a DS game, however, at first, the controls were semi-difficult, but you get the hang of it rather quickly. One of the best looking games of the DS generation without at doubt. The graphics and maps at times will blow you away. Highly recommend picking this one up for $20 or less if you can get it in the case.
