Also you notice all the really positive scores are from review sites with "nintendo" part of their name.

Come on that's not true at all.
CGMagazine: Metroid Prime: Federation Force is not only the best FPS on the 3DS, but perhaps one of my favorite FPS games ever. 95/100
Kotaku: It's actually very good! A smartly-designed and surprisingly-strategic shooter best played in co-op.
Cheat Code Central: Had it been released under a different name, it'd be a perfectly serviceable mutliplayer mech adventure, but even with the Metroid name it's well worth picking up for a fun little weekend jaunt, especially if you're the type to return again and again to a game to best your previous scores and advance from there, you'll find an excellent entry in the Metroid series here. 8/10
Gaming Nexus: Enjoyable once you learn the controls, but it feels like it was more geared towards multiplayer. The ammo capacity and mod restrictions force you to think strategically about what to take on each mission which can be both good and bad depending on how you look at it. 8/10
From the 7 positive reviews this game has on Metacritic only 2 of them have the Nintendo name on it, and you know what? The only negative score of the game comes from a place called Nintendo Enthusiast:
Nintendo Enthusiast: Not a good game at all. When you find yourself just wanting to complete levels to see if the game ever changes and gets better, that’s a sign that something is very wrong. The core gameplay is simplistic, boring, and not the level of quality one would expect from a Metroid game. Other M may have been the most fan-derided Metroid game until now, but Federation Force will easily take the crown from here on out. 4.5/10
