Bio got a 9 and MP3 got an 8.5 i don't see what the problem is, bio is by far a better game in every way. Did you guys even watch the review video, they said exactly why it got the score it did. Of course Halo3 is going to get a better score, it has online play.

Halo3 will have a replay value that is 100x better then MP3, people will play it for over 1000 hours online. MP3 cannot match that, If it had online i'm sure it would of had a score of 9.

Metroid has never been a multiplayer game and multiplayer on a Metroid game is actualy something bad for the fanbase of Metroid. If a metroid game gets a minus for multiplayer the reviewer isn't a fan of metroid.

@thread

The review actualy sounds good if you read it, they are complaining about to good controlls (which sounds a little bit strange and multiplayer but otherwise it sounds like a good title.

Actually Metroid made a multiplayer debut on the DS called Hunters and it got great reviews. Metroid is the game that already has an established fanbase. It would make sense that if Nintendo wanted to enter the FPS multiplayer arena then Metroid would be the game to take them there. Not only that but it would add to the longevity of the game and increase sales.

Also has anyone out there picked up the game yet? The Futureshop I called said it won't be in until Wednesday.

Hunters was a horrible Metroid game, was criticized by nearly every major reviewer because of it, and hated by Metroid fans.  Hunters was a great handheld shooter, but had nothing to do with the Metroid series.  They completely destroyed the style of game (massive exploration and puzzle solving) in order to make it into an FPS.  I have been playing Prime 3 for a few hours now and thank god that's not what they did with this game.  It's a bit combat heavy in the beginning but it manages to strike a great balance after that, and again, it would have sucked with multiplayer.
