zelda and metroid are very similar games too.
Both involve finding hidden items and using upgrades as a means of blocking progression.

Some people really like zelda's storyline while I think it's trite and superficial.
And some people (like myself) think metroid has better ambiance and mood.

It really depends on the entry though. Both last games were mediocre. Though I have to say, I played other m several times and enjoy about a third of the story, mostly the continuation of the super metroid story aspects.

It really astounds me to hear people say that zelda skyward sword was mediocre. At the bare minimum, it was a great game. Yes, it wasn't perfect but it was definetly far from "mediocre". The first 5 hours were boring, but considering the game has a 40hour length, 5 hours of boredom isn't a lot compared to 35 hours of awesomness. It definetly had by far the best story and cinematic experience in the franchise. Anyways, to me, anyone who calls SS a mediocre game obviously didn't play the game (at least the first half of the game) or absolutely hate motion controls (which worked 99% perfectly in SS). There was a lot of time put in developpement for this game, and calling it mediocre is absurd.

remove zelda from it and then tell me how great it is.

It is only great because it is zelda. Look at the mechanics.....it's like, really bad gameplay dood.
