I will go with Resistance, Insomniac Games did a very good job with this series.
Metroid is in my eyes totally overhyped, can't understand the hype for the series at this site.


Then it sounds like Resistance is far more to your liking. Have you played all the Metroid games? I'm assuming you have played all the Resistance games. 


No, he hasn't. Any really.

LOL. That is also my assumption which is why I asked. The Metroid games are really great games, but since it's not a huge franchise it almost certainly doesn't appeal to everyone. So if he has then I can accept his opinion on it, but if he hasn't then it's moot and a waste of a thread. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Really? The Resistance franchise wished it was half as awesome as Metroid!

Surprised this isn't a joke that read, may as well compare Mario & Gex.

That's good and all but I've liked too many other shooters to ever stay enjoying 1 for that long.  Cod4, mw2, old medal of honors,  battlefield games,  metro etc. 

I'm sure I'd have loved the old Metroids like on the Gamecube when they came out.  

1st mistake. Metroid is not a shooter.

The Primes are, as is Other M (I haven't played the older games but I suspect they are shooters)... but shooter is not a genre, and if shooter is a genre then I would argue Metroid is more of a shooter than CoD/Battlefield etc. You don't shoot to open doors or shoot to solve puzzles in CoD.

The Metroid Prime games are pure adventure games IMO, they have "action" in them as do most video games, but they are not action/adventures. Most FPS of recent years though are action/adventure with a heavy emphasis on action.


They really aren't FPS. They are First Person games with some shooting elements, but it's more puzzle solving and adventure than shooting. Sooo... Yeah I agree lol. 

The earlier ones and Fuzion aren't shooters in the sense of like Contra, but very much fit what you explained the Primes to be, just in 2D. You should check out Super and Fuzion though. The first metroid is good, but can annoy some players due to less sophisticated controls now.

Nope but you thought that i don't have played a Resistance game.



Is like comparing Cod with Zelda.

Obviously metroid.
