Agreed on not being a Halo killer, but otherwise I disagree.

I'm honestly surprised that Metroid Prime remains the only First Person Adventure franchise in existence (the essential distinction being that this game emphasizes exploration over action). It's initial offering is considered one of the top ten or twenty games ever created by critics; why is no one following suit? Why are all First Person games still about blowing crap up, and not about discovery? I'm not asking that they all transfer over, but given the reception of Metroid Prime, you'd figure at least one other game would enter the sub genre. 

You know, you're right about that. The one thing I really did like about the MP series is the discovery aspect of the game. It should be incorporated into other FPS games. It adds a cool element to the story.

Hopefully this game will require more skill than MP 1 & 2. I really disliked the controls on those games and how the aiming is handled. I want an option where I control more of the game. Hopefully the Wii will bring some of those elements to the series but I'm not holding my breath.
