Lol you mean you dislike it because you can't play it?  Sorry I'm not trying to rub it in the European gamers' faces.  I do feel sorry for you though

What is variety and why does it suck do much? Seems like a site for housewives.
''a familiarity with the vocabulary of videogames: double jumping, circle strafing, shooting weak points ''

Yes because unless you play videogames you don't understand words like jump, strafe and weak points. Who are these clowns?

''The villainess flits about, without introduction'' "Metroid Prime 3"
Without introduction.... 3rd game in a trilogy. Hey guys I just watched Return of the king and it sucks because none of the characters have a proper introduction wtf!
Really complaining about lack of introduction is just ridiculous. The introduction is called Metroid prime and Metroid prime 2. They even mention in their review how the first 2 games set up the story yet complain about how this games lacks the backstory.

''It has the audacity to say, "Welcome to this strange place. Now go figure it out."'''
Yea they are right metroid should drop you on a planet and explain every sinlge thing about it, the history, story, what's happening at the moment, the names of every person living there etc.
One of the best points about the game is ''Here is a strange place. Find out what happened/ is happening here''

Sites like that shouldn't review games.

For those of you who said halo single player sucked, then how did it get such high scores? Halo 1 got its scores from its missions on single player! while the missions on halo 2 were def a let down, you cannot say halo 1 suck

I do not like metroid, i dont like the missions or anything, i tried playing some of the origins back then and i guess i just didnt enjoy it, and people will enjoy some games and some people wont

But just because i dont like it doesnt mean it sucks, i dont go around yelling metroid sucks

I have never played the Metroid series. I haven't been interested until I read Corruption's review. This makes want to buy the game. But should I buy the first prime first or Corruption. IS Corruption's control so good I'll hate to play the first 2. Or will I not understand the story? Should I buy Prime or Corruption. And should I buy Echoes if I buy Prime 1?

It didn't suck, it was just nothing special (at all). There was one great thing about Halo single player: The music. The actual single player game was basic linear shooter game. The plot was decent, but nothing groundbreaking. The reason Halo got such good reviews was because of it's controls, and it's multiplayer. That's it. I have played and beat (and own) both Halo and Halo 2. Believe me, as far as actual sinlgeplayer gameplay experience goes, it's nothing special. I understand that opinions may differ on this, but what did you think was special about Halo's single player that hadn't been done before?

Well... yeah sort of on the controls.  They really do make old control schemes feel... bad.  As far as plot goes you can always read a summary on the internet.  Either way is fine.  You should really play all 3 Prime games at some point in time.

I picked this game up but unfortunately got distracted by Advance Wars.  I'll have to apply some willpower to get my Wii going, and then I'm golden! 

Anyway, your post is pure gold naznatips but let me pick out a few especially shiny bits:

"...that's like reviewing Super Mario Galaxy and saying 'Well, it's the best platformer ever, but I wanted an RPG. 8/10'"  New prediction for Gamespot review of Galaxy?

"The only thing unoriginal about it is that it still follows a similar formula to the previous games. I mean my god, that's like saying every FPS game ever is unoriginal because they are all linear.  At least Prime 3 introduced a revolutionary new control scheme that blows away any previous FPS control set up. The creative uses of new visors, the unbelievably incredible, unique, and gorgeous environments, and the amazing controls not only set it apart from the other 2 Prime games: They set it on top of them, and set a standard for ALL adventure games."  This entire paragraph is pure gold. 

"My score at this point: a 9.7. It's not perfect, but it's much closer than I ever expected it to be."

That sounds about right.  I'm surprised that Nintendo Power gave a 10 to a game that wasn't literally perfect; they've only given out four in the magazine's lifetime AFAIK and I thought they'd be saving one up for Galaxy. 

Maybe they figured that the creation on a completely new and (judging by reports) utterly superior console FPS control scheme, in addition to a 9.5-level game, was worth the perfect score. 

I liked the story quite a bit.  That, with the music, made this game really fun for me.  Halo 2 was not as good, but still threw enough my way to keep me happy. 

But no, the single player gameplay was good, but nowhere near the level you'd expect from the game that single-handedly kept the Xbox from completely bombing.  Halo 2 even more so IMO.  

How much fun i had, i really had alot of fun, and it really hit on co op which is i guess multiplayer but also on campain, not online. It is a matter of opinion, i could say theres nothing speical about metroid (which i wont havent played) but it could be my opinion.

If Metroid is as good as you say it is why did it not score as hi, and im being serious? I mean you said controls for halo, yet metroid sounds to have the best controls yet? It really is just a matter of opinion, you cant compare the games, and i disprove of it from anyone.

Also if you look at the plot its quite deep, we have still yet to figure out whos the forerunners and other stuff remains unaswered. THe music like you said was some of the best ive ever heard.

Its a matter of opinion, but you cant tell me that a huge majority of people agree with you, or metroid would be the game that gets as much hype and a higher score ( it did for MP 1 =) )

It comes down to a matter of opinion, i played halo for a very very long time and it was just playing single player and a combination of its co op.

In all i just wanted them to not say it sucks, well cause there are things that really and truelly suck, and its not halo, because if it did it wouldnt be where it is today.

Yes i agrew with you there. But you add this in with co op and versus etc for halo 1 and mult for halo 2 and you got yourself a very good game. I have had some of the best fun ever in video games on co op halo 1
