I guess I'd just say that Halo 3 is a very casual game compared to Metroid Prime 3.  I could list a ton of reasons, but the biggest being that the game aims for you, egregiously, and that the level of challange overall is lower (bosses, enemies move slower, target points are larger, etc).

I don't know.  I own both -- that's just my impression.  And you?

I was just joking. But, do you really consider that game hardcore?  I've heard it is more like an adventure game than a shooter.

But it doesn't aim for you, I don't know if your copy is bugged or what. For example: try playing legendary. Ihad beat nothing but the campaigns on normal, when I tried legendary, I got raped (grenades EVERYWHERE)

I am stumped on this one.

Metroid is an adventure game.  You must collect new power-ups to gain access to new areas of the game.  That said, it also has very heavy FPS elements.  Anyone watching the game would describe it as a FPS.  The whole game depends on you being able to shoot your enemies.

Why would being an adventure game exclude it from being "hardcore"?  Zelda is an adventure game, and Zelda is definitely a hardcore game.

I don't consider Halo to be hardcore.  Every frat boy who knows nothing about gaming still plays Halo.  Halo is a pretty casual FPS.  Not that that is a bad thing.  It has been a hugely successful game because of that.  Tons of people have played the games for hours on end, and I am one of them.

@OP:

I never noticed anything like that in Halo 1 or 2, and in my short time with Halo 3 I didn't notice it either.  I quess I don't think it is a problem then.  I do prefer the controls of Metroid though.  The remote gives you so much accuracy and freedom you just can't get with a regular controller.
