I like this game, but after a while it can give me a very large cramp in my hand if I'm not careful. The best control scheme to me is Dual hand right. It is much simpler that the other ones. But this is a pretty good game with fun multi-player.

Missing the good old days

Okay, PLEEEEEAAAASE don't get me wrong people... go ahead and check out this game, heck, i'm sure its worth it. Well, I've lost allot of faith in games anymore... metroid prime hunters... what can I say? Its typical anymore--loss of imagination. People who make games... they do it for the money, and lose heart in the making itself anymore. I AM A HUGE METROID FAN!!!!!!! HUGELY OBSESSED!!!! But, i'm just not feeling into the game spirit anymore. The action wasn't there... compared to zero mission and fusion, i just didn't get the feel. Metroid prime for the game cube gave me the same pessimestic, but true to heart feeling. Maybe its because i'm too use to classics... or that i can only play games as side-scrollers... games like this anyways. I honestly don't know what to say to tell you the truth. I know there are allot of people who love this game--and games like it. I just feel things have gotten a bit too different anymore. I didn't like how this game looked cartoony. The other hunters did anyways. Sure, the graphics were outstanding, but there was just something missing I didn't know what. Okay, i'm just trashing this game... that's not what i'm trying to do though. Like i said, I love metroid!! Just not this one, or any of the newer ones out there. The fun of it stopped at Metroid Zero Mission. Fusion was cool. Super Metroid was the bomb! Hunters? Corruption? Prime? Echoes? I just got bored. And now, here's hunters, i played it, and got the same feeling. But I'm going to keep the game just because its metroid and I like metroid, and I don't ever want to change the fact that every game system I have ABSOLUTELY HAS TO HAVE A METROID GAME IN IT! So, i still make an acception. I just hope that Samus returns to side-scrolling and this third-person stuff ends. Or! Both... both would be fine too. Because people who like her in side-scrollers can enjoy her there, meanwhile the third-person fans can enjoy her as, well, in third-person. It wasn't a horrible experience though, Michel Jackson's moonwalker was. No game could ever be that bad EVER!

Okay okay, its just how i look at it sure. The monsters were more vicious sounding in the older games, looked more nastier, meaner, full of hate; prime, they looked like shiny forms of graphics. Computer-generated animation. Well, OF COURSE!!! ITS JUST SO DARN NOTICEABLE THOUGH!!!! That's it! That's what bugs me, older games and even the ones on game boy advance were animated for a "COMIC BOOK" feel. With that, I was actually hooked. That's what I miss, that old comic book feeling while I visualize the game itself as A SIDE-SCROLLER!!!! Metroid Fusion had it. Hunters doesn't. Well, people will argue with me, I'm just waiting for the comments. Not welcomingly, but i know there coming. Hard core fans of hunters would definitely bark at me for this one. Hey, its just how i feel, i can't help it. I just miss the old days is all... you know what I mean?

People who like halo will like this

Okay, this is a review from a ten year old. Now before you go to the next review read this. This is a great game for halo people because of the first person shooter. Now the story goes like this: you get a message to go and find "this ultimate power". And your not the only one to look for it. There are other bounty hunters that look for it and of course you have to battle them. You have to find these big diamonds called octoliths to unlock the secret world oubliette. There you battle Gorea who was locked there by this group of aliens. Now if you do this curtain thing while battling him who obtain the secret power and battle him again with it. Unfortunatly, this is the only time you can use this power. Well then you beat the game. So, in conclusion, I highly reccomend this game. I hope I helped!

Fun Game

This game is fun on wi-fi. It is also fun in the main game but a little bit hard.

Hard, Confusing, Not Much Replay Value

So I am a HUGE fan of Samus and the whole Metroid franchise. But this game fell off big time for me!!
First the controls are just out of wack for me! They just didn't work for me! The bosses are the same (your fighting a stick or a ball that gets harder when you go to a different planet) But what made this game terrible for me had to be......NO SAVE STATIONS!!!! That was a huge mistake for this game! If you died you had to start all the way back at your ship which fustrated me to no end!! There is no replay value for me! Hopefully the next Metroid DS game will be better!

Great DS Game!

This is by far the best DS game I've played. The graphics are the best I've seen on a handheld (barnone). They are better than anything I've seen on the PSP! Movement is smooth and fluid. Aiming is precise with the stylus. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it can get a little cumbersome trying to aim with the stylus and hold the thing while trying to move and fire. You do get used to it after a while, but it's still cumbersome. Regardless, anyone who enjoys shooters will love this game.

What a game

I got this game with my new system, I enjoy playing it. If you like Metroid Prime you'll enjoy this game too.

Great Metroid, but not the game advancement we are used to.

The first thing one should be ready for is that you do not upgrade Samus' suit the usual way. Her suit comes fully powered, save the gravity suit abilities, but all you add to it are new weapons. The new beams however are very fun. You must think, somewhat about the enemies you are fighting to choose the fastest gun with which to destroy them with.

Campaign, 4 Stars

It is a relatively long campaign as most DS Games go, yet they still pack a mean multiplayer. Traveling from planet to planet to gain Octoliths in order to gain, the Ultimate Power. The Ultimate Power may not be achieved at all, or not until the end of the game, how much does that suck? Overall, the campaign is fun, full of great puzzles and strategies, and long.

Multiplayer (Wi-Fi), 4 Stars

I can't get enough of my "NIntendo DS Live" as I call it. The multiplayer is so well planned out. The ability to become any bounty hunter in the game that you have defeated, actually voting on the maps you fight at, and all the friends and rivals you will meet. It has provided endless fun for me and my friends.

Overall, get it, because the Metroid series ends with M3 Corruption. Don't you wanna say you at least tried all the games?

You'll either love it or hate it

I got my DS about a week after it came out and it came with a demo of metroid prime hunters. When I played the demo, I was blown away with the great controls and graphics. I didn't know that this was possible on a handheld. Well, I couldn't wait for the game to come out after I played the demo. Finally, it came out about a year and a half later and I picked it up the day it came out. I loved it for a couple of days. Then, I realized that there are only 4 levels in the single player game, and all you do is travel back and forth between them. Well, after I found that out I figured I would give the multiplayer a try. Multiplayer is definately better than single player. You can play online or regular wireless, and there is little lag online. However, the matchups are random unless you have friends that play. If you do, you can make a custom match in a lobby and you can do voice chat. All in all, You should play this game before you buy it to see if you like it.

Grows on you!!!

I got this game for Christmas this year and to tell you the truth when I first played it I'd say that I didn't like it. I didn't like the controlls at all (But now I just have to tell myself that it's not Halo. You have to enjoy the controlls for the way they are) Well the game just sat in its box for the first 3 months that I had it. Since I only have 2 games (including this one for my DS) I picked it back up about a month ago and I started to like it a little more! I have now gotten about half way through the game and I absolutely LOVE it. The controlls feel normal now that I am used to them and I am pretty good (if I do say so myself)
If you play 1st person shooters on another system don't expect this game to be like those it's way different (at least the controlls are)
My reccomendation is BUY this game!!! it will bring hours of FUN!!!
