Yeah... Poor soul. I've played almost every major release and have owned every major platform since the 2600... Poor soul is me.
Flat-out, I don't think MP is a great series. It's good, yes. I think it's a weak follow-up to the original 2D Metroid, which I think is one of the greatest game series of all time (take your pick of Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, whatever).
Metroid Prime offered nothing new to me. It offered iffy controls, an interesting story, and generally, good-to-great gameplay depending on the mission. Go ahead and bash Halo because you know what, I'll probably agree with you... Excepting one point: Halo brought amazing multiplayer to a console system (something I enjoyed for years previous on PC). The MP series has brought NOTHING innovative to my console(s). Maybe the Wii version will change that and I'll be the first to jump on board if it's a great game. But stop feeding me bullshit about how I've never played the series just because I think it's mediocre. If anything, I call it mediocre because YOU haven't played anything better.
