Headshot, baby!

Looks like Samus finally joined the DS... There is only one word I need to mention about this game. That word is "Wi-Fi". The online multiplayer alone makes this game a must buy! But then, we can't forget about the single player now... This game is much like the Metroid games we know and love with a stronger FPS twist... This game is not as in-depth as MP or MP:E... But for a DS game this game is awsome... Bosses do get repetitive... And so do enemies... But you watching them die makes it worth it... Now I have a question... Have you ever heard of Wi-Fi? If you answered "yes" you must get this game...

Comprehensive Metroid Prime: Hunters Review

Reviewed by GameGulch on September 03, 2006  |  report this review

Gameplay - 8.3:

A great single-campaign, with its highlights being exploration and morph ball puzzles. Four unique planets to explore, but two repeated boss fights make things repetitive, and it’s also unfortunate that the game is too easy.

Graphics/Sound - 9.0:

Easily the best graphics for the DS, containing distinct and diverse level designs and some outstanding textures. Remixed Metroid tunes sound a little goofy, but the ambient tracks set the mood nicely.

Replayvalue - 6.0:

After the 10 hour single-player adventure, you could play an endless amount of time with the online modes, but it’s truly unfortunate that it implements alternate forms, a novel idea, so poorly, causing more problems than creating something captivating.

Overall - 7.8:

As an online gamer, I found Hunters online to be underwhelming and often frustrating; the larger, more hyped up portion of the game. What almost makes up for this is the great single-player mode. Gamers who have yet to experience an online game might find Hunters to be quite fantastic.

Started off pretty good....but....

This game was a blast at the beginning, but with cramping hands and gameplay not as great as the GCN Prime series, it got old. I only pick this game up to play online, nowadays. Online play is awesome, though....unless you play people who are either cheating, or really good.

Pros:
-Online play
-Train your skills by playing against bots

Cons:
-Cheaters online
-Single player mode not that great
-OUUCHH!! My hand!

this game is amazing, playing as other characters really makes this title extra fun, but the story does get a little difficult. wi-fi is perfect for this game, battling with random people or your friends could never be so much fun

Unmatched!

This is probably the best game for the DS I have ever played or seen! great graphics good replay value and wi-fi battles have the most In-depth level design ever! Also the added "headshot" ability is a newcomer for the Metroid series. If you arent very good at the game Do not get on
wi-fi, you will get destroyed either by nerds who have no life outside of this game or the stupid cheaters who make everybody else's playtime a living hell.

Good Game !!!

It's one of my most Favorite games, but the Wi-Fi isn't so great cause there are a bunch of Hackers & Glitchers. But the Single-Player mode is really good, & the game has Some pretty good Graphics. And the Multiplayer mode, is good for practice.I Recammend this game to anyone who likes the Meroid Prime Series or Shooters.

Great game, but pretty repetitive

I loved this game to it's very core, loved the multiplayer, the smooth controls, awesome graphics for the DS, Nintendo could have made the PERFECT hear that PERFECT game, if only there was a little more thought. You come back to each planet at least once to finish the story and the only diference in the boss is the difficulty! 2 bosses spread across eight planets, the dificulty towards the end is great, it kept me playing the game, but it would've been nice to have new bosses, get it if you don't mind repetition, get it if you hate repetition, it's still a good game!

hehe, sorry, fogot to set my rating...

This is by far the best first-person shooter out on the market for a portable system. Controls are great as well are the graphics. Great puzzle games between the BOOM HEADSHOT!!! High replay value, played mine over a year. Great game overall, would highly recommend.

The Best First Person Shooter Out There 4 Portable Systems! Great Controls! Great Graphics! Great Replay (I played mine for 1 YEAR)! Overall great game! 5 out of 5!!!

Its addicting!

I've been a fan of this game from its humble beginnings, and i must say that this is one of the best games for a a hand held console. Amazing controls and very versitile. I've played the game five times over and it doesn't get old, well i'm an avid fan of the whole metroid series so that's why i find it to be very addicting!
