To me you appear to be showing bias yourself.  Are you going to play Halo 3's 4 player co-op, it's online, forge, saved film (you can view the action from any angle (from a character's perspective or a free roaming camera, slow it down, play it in reverse, you can even edit them by cutting out parts, and you can take still pictures, plus you can share all this with other Halo players), look at it's file share in which you can upload pictures or videos or download ones from other players (and even leave comments on them) and they're all hosted from a central server at Bungie.  I mean there's a lot of pretty amazing new stuff so to just call it Halo 2 is very unfair and it has a lot of stuff that is likely going to become standard and copied by other FPS.  It also has built-in clan support (not sure if it shows up on Xbox Live yet but it was created with Halo 3 in mind and will be included with future online fps games if their developers want it).  It's far more than just Halo 2 with a few nice features.

Cannot agree more with you mate. But I believe that AT LEAST Metroid Prime 3 meritted a 9.0. I mean the control scheme ALONE could be a major plus when marking the game. When was any console game rated to have controls near to the keyboard and mouse setup of the PC? None, until MP3 arrived. Apart from that it toally inovated the series. It added voice overs, the ship-visor, corruption [hypermode], VASTLY different worlds and as every major game site out there said "some of the best visuals [art style of course] ever seen in any videogame." Apart from that it also added acheivement points - which results in the screen capture modes etc.

Halo 3 rightly deserved it's 9.5 score, but Metroid Prime 3 rightly DESERVES a better score.

Reviews:

1UP - 9.0 

IGN - 9.5

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.
