Your bad games are better than your good games, and Excite Truck definitely isn't crappy.

Unfortunately you probably are a real life video game critic.

you really are a critic if you claim that Rayman Raving Rabbids is "good" and Metroid Prime 3 is "bad"

I played the orginal Metroid when it was released in the late 1980s and it was one of the best games for the NES.  Super Metroid improved upon every part of Metroid and it was one of the best games for the SNES.  I never bought a Game Cube and never played Metroid Prime 1 or 2, but I cannot stand Metroid Prime 3.  The power ups are terrible and everything attack takes away from health.  The final boss battle is the worst part of the game.  Unlike the orginal Metroid which all 600 health and 200+ missles are needed, the final Metroid Prime 3 boss battle limites you to 100 health and missles do not even hurt the final boss.  Why not just skip the entire game in the middle and warp to the end because the middle does not seem to make a difference?  In my opinion it fails as an Action/Adventure and it is Metroid in name only.

 

@amp316:

Once again I am comparing the sequel to the original.  If anyone here is old enough to have played Excite Bike.  Even though Excite Bike was extremely simple and the levels were very repetitive, the ability to make custome levels was the best part of the game.  This idea was completely original for NES at the time.  Unlike Excite Bike, Excite Truck maintainted all of the same repetitive levels, but left out anything new.  How many times can I play the same 5 levels over and over again?  I think this game would have been much better with online, but Nitnendo left it out for some strange reason.  I did play this game through Regular, Excite and I almost finished Mirror mode, but the repetitiveness of the game left me wanting so much more.  I traded this game in about a year after I  bough it.

Why do people dislike Rayman Raving Rabbids so much?  I was not sure whether or no to put it in the Good or Bad category.  However, I think the Rabbids are funny and entertaining.  Plus it is a good game to play while on a date.



Arius Dion on 16 July 2009

I don't think I've played twenty Wii games, so I'll list what I can. No particular order, just as they come to mind...thougb Prime 3 is my favorite single player experience this gen.

Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Mario Galaxy
Mario Kart
The Conduit (Multiplayer)
Tiger Woods 10
Grand Slam Tennis
Virtua Tennis
Wii Sports
Resident Evil 4



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I've played and beat all the originals, and anyone could easily tell you that Metroid Prime series is a rather big shift from the original Metroid Series. I don't remember needing all 200+ missles for the final boss, but whatever I haven't played it in a long long time. I also agree that Super Metroid is better than the Prime series. Obviously you skipped the story in the Prime series, and each game builds on the previous one. I thought the weapons were the best in Prime 1, but Prime 3, was a great game overall. In Zelda, all you ever need is the mastersword or light arrows to beat Gannon, and to top it off, you only really need 3 hearts (i've done that in countless Zelda games), so how come you don't hold that to the same standard you obviously hold Prime to? Also, it doesn't look like you held Super Paper Mario to the same standard since it is vastly different to the orginal Paper Mario and is hardly worthy of being called an RPG.

the OP calls for your top 20 favorite games, and you feel the need to list "crappy" titles. 

either you enjoyed games or not. listing them in your top 20, i mean top 19, probably means that you only have played these 19 titles and felt the need to be inflamatory and miss the point of the word favorite.

 

Also what do previous games in the metroid series have anything to do with prime?  prime is a trilogy of its own in 3D and 1st person view, radically different interface in comparison with the earlier titles.  if you couldn't stand prime 3, then it clearly wasn't an experience you enjoyed.

I think this final battle is extremely important because it is the climax of the game.  Even though you do not need all life and missles in Metroid, they are still useful in the last battle.  I find if fraustrating to watch Samus's health drop from 1200 to 100 because the game said so.  I also think the charged missle attack which detroyes anything else in the game, should do the most damage against the final boss.  In the end, the only attack the does any major damage is the charged attack in which Samus starts the game with.  Your statement about Zelda is not true, but Zelda games are very different from Metroid games.  The difficulty in a Zelda game is trying to figure out how to damage the boss with many items at your disposal in addition to fiding the weak spot and how to hurt it.  Metroid is just about figuring ou the bosses weak spot and shooting it.  I never played any previous Paper Mario games and I do not think of Super Paper Mario as an RPG.  I think it is a platform title and IGN calls it an Action title.

samus health doesnt dropt to 100, either your really stupid or have no eyes, each of the bars that fill up the final yellow bar are equal to each tank you've collected, and that you think the charge missile should do more damage doesn't mean it should.

Correct, I only played 19 Wii games and I decided to place them in order from my favorite to least favorite.  I do not like Metroid Prime 3 because I think the power up in this game are extremely disappointing and the final boss fight is lame.  I did not post this to be inflammatory, but it is entertaining how irritated gamers get just because someone does not like a Metroid game.
