Well I agree with you mostly since I too played a lot of games in the FPS genre and I also agree with you that Halo has the most satisfying multiplayer experience since Mario Kart.

But, at least in my opinion, I find Metroid Prime's single player to be, quite frankly, amazing. And I thought it brought plenty of innovative things to the table like the atmosphere... specifically the cloustrophic atmosphere. The sense that you're totally ALONE in a humongous world. And that everyone is this said world is looking for you, to kill you. Metroid is one of the few still standing franchises that made a brilliant transition from 2D to 3D.

At least me and many others think so. It seems our opinion differs completely!

Our opinions don't differ so greatly. I said the MP series was overrated, yet I still called it a great game. It offered nothing extraordinary to me, but it was still a very good game.

This thread is about Bioshock vs. MP3. Bioshock, frankly, is going to beat the hell out of MP3. In fact, I think it's going to beat the hell out of every game this year. After playing through the demo three times, it's so amazing that I can't even comprehend what is coming next in the full game. It's revolutionary in its storytelling, something that Metroid held in the 80s and 90s but not now. Games have advanced yet in the Metroid series, I continue to get a lesser and lesser experience each time. Whereas each time I play another Mario game, it keeps getting better

 From someone who started playing Mario Bros. (not SUPER Mario Bros), that carries a lot of weight in it.

I'm not going to argue whether Bioshock is good or not because since all the reviews say more or less the same thing [that it's amazing] than it must be one hell of a game. But saying the 3D Metroids don't have revolutionary storytelling compared to their 2D counterparts [except Fusion] is plain out BS. The NES/SNES/ZeroMission practically had no story at all!!! Wth? The Scan visor [Chozo Lore etc] provided much much MUCH more story! I for one really like deciphering the Chozo lore :)
