    Metroid + DS = NONSTOP FUN

    I bought this game a couple days ago, and after getting familiar with it, I can finally write a review.

    Graphics - Let's face it, the ds isn't known for it's graphical quality, especially when it comes to 3D. But these graphics are great. They aren't as good as todays standard consoles, but I don't recall any N64 or Playstation game looking this good.Best out there right now for the DS so I give it a 5/5.


    Control - Control with the stylus takes a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it it's a lot like using the mouse for a computer. If your left handed don't worry because they have a special setting made special for you guys. If you still can't get use to the stylus then you can use the buttons for aiming. 4.5/5


    Sound - If you've heard the music from the original metroid prime then you've heard the music to this game. Sometimes can be very intense to build up suspense of what's going to happen. 4/5


    Replay Value - Just like the other metroid prime games, you have a log book. Playing through the first time, you can ignore this, but filling it up to 100% can be a challenge. You also have energy and missle expansions. Single Player mode is pretty short though.

    As for the Online, this is an excellent feature. There's a battle mode and you can chose from any of the character's you have beaten. This can provide for hours of fun. You can also create friends and rivals who you can compete with in 7 different forms of battle. You can also text and voice chat with your friends which was unbelievably clear. I could understand every word when I tried this. (with Online) 5/5

    Fun Quality - I personally got bored with the previous metroid prime games with the gamecube, but for some reason this one is different. Maybe it's the online maybe it's the two screens and touch screen, I don't know, but i think what it is is that it's more action orientated and I love action. 5/5

    Buy or Not - I haven't always liked shooter games like this, but I really enjoyed this one. I would reccomend to BUY.

    Overall Score 4.7 / 5 (9.4/10)

    Rounds up to 5 stars

    a new spin on an old classic

    I havent purchased a video game system in 7 years. In fact, my last console was the Sega Dreamcast. But as a born again gamer, im really impressed with the features of the DS and Hunters. I was alittle intimidated of the stylus, but the cruising through the first portion of the game is a walk through tutorial. Very beneficial for something trying to get back into the game (pun intended). Thought ive never played Halo even even touched an Xbox, the controls gradually become easy to handle. Its shame I missed out 7 years of gaming, but the DS is a great return to Nintendo!

    Hands down the best DS game

    Ok, first of all, disregard any reviews you've read trashing the games controls. If you have any experience using the DS at all and have played FPS games, chances are you'll get used to the controls after about 15 minutues, which by my standards is pretty low time. Also, other reviewers have been wrongful in stating that online play is limited. In order to play the other game modes (other than deathmatch that is) you just need to have someone on your friends or rivals list. It's really not that hard people. I suggest you read the game manual before you come on here and list cons that don't exist. There's a pluthera of online modes to be played, deathmatch still being my overall favorite though. Playing this online reminds me of playing Halo2 for the Xbox. I get that same rush in this game that I got when I'd headshot someone in Halo, or went on a killing spree. This game has online gaming at its finest, as well as an enjoyable single player mode too. The single player mode is great to play in order to enhance your skills for multi-player. Even if you have no one to play in you vicinity and you don't have a wifi connection, you can still play multi-player with computer bots! Trust me, this game is an instant classic, with graphics comparable to Metroid Prime for Gamecube and the fun factor of Halo2. A must have for the DS owner.
