Metroid Prime is rated so high because it was one of the first games to combine excellent FPS gameplay with adventuring, puzzles and great gameplay. It also looked great, and had possibly the most gorgeous and atmospheric surroundings of any game before it.
It's kinda like how people say Bioshock is rated so high mostly because it's the first FPS on the 360 to force you to use your brain actually.
There's also the fact that it takes around 20 hours to complete for the first time, which is pretty good for any game, but downright unique for one that involves both the first person and shooting. =P
Even if Resistance is good, it's many years newer than MP (standards go up: in absolute term MP3 is better than the original, but rated much lower), and ultimately just another Halo clone.
