That's your problem... you have to READ reviews, not scores. Most reviewers point out that it's a fun game in its own right, but not a good Metroid. the ones that don't were put off by the Metroid style in the first place. Either way, the game is a good shooter, and a bad Metroid. I recommend you check out the gametrailers review of it to see what I mean. It was an FPS, not an FPA, and that's why it sold badly and wasn't reviewed anywhere near the levels of the other Prime games.

Every good review will criticize a game. It's what good reviews do. It doesn't make it a horrible game(your oppinion) so stop trying to force your oppinion on other people when it doesn't even come close to reflecting what the game scored overall. 13th ALL TIME on the DS. Franchises sometimes branch off and form other games. Mario can become Mario Strikers ect. People are arguing that Metroid has never made an appearance as a multiplayer game and I am saying it is untrue. People are saying the Hunters scored poorly with critics and this is also untrue.

The thing is multiplayer would add to the Metroid series, not detract from it (my oppinion). Does the multiplayer aspect take away from games like Gears of War or Halo? No it doesn't. It's nice to have something to keep you playing when you've beaten the game 10 times.


You're missing the point. He didn't say it was a horrible game, he said it was a horrible Metroid game, which is an entirely different thing to say. This is also clear from reading the rest of his post ... did you?

Exactly... I'm glad someone got that.  It's not even really debatable that the game fails to deliver on the Metroid style of gameplay (i.e. exploration, puzzle solving, and massive amounts of upgrades).  I don't think it's a bad game, I just don't see any purpose in comparing it or using it as an example for why Metroid should have multiplayer, when it failed to act as a Metroid game in order to add said multiplayer.  Thankfully, MP3 stays true to the adventure style, and didn't try to become Halo.
