I hate hype. I really do. It makes any game look like the second coming of Jesus, but in the real world, the game is either crap or average. There are some exceptions, like Kingdom Hearts and Infamous, but generally speaking, hyped games are never really all that they're cracked up to be, especially when the hyped product is a pile of jizz. Meet Metroid Prime: Hunters, yet another victim of undeserved love. Just because there's access to online amongst some good graphics and music scores, does not mean that it's a good game. I'll go as far as saying that Metroid Prime: Hunters is a bad game. It just didn't click with me, and with the problems I've found, I can't quite figure out why, beyond hype, people actually like this game.
Apparently, there's some artifacts on some unknown faraway planets, and Samus has to retrieve them. Unfortunately for her, there are other hunters who are also going for it. And that's the general gist of the plot. There are some backstories here...

When it comes to the long term main Nintendo licenses, Metroid has always stood out a little from the others. While the likes of Mario and Link have mostly come across as pure fantasy, and often colourful and bright, Metroid was the gritty realistic one (well, as realistic as sci-fi could be). There's no faraway kingdom of mushroom people, no young kids setting out into the world to defeat evil organisations and magic is not the answer to basically everything. Although I entered the series fairly late (Gamecube/Gameboy Advance era) I quickly came to love the series and what it delivered. Therefore when Hunters was released onto the DS I was eager to play it. After all, if could come even close to the Gamecube Metroid Prime titles then it was sure to be a big hit. Alas, Hunters is nothing like its home console brethren.
In terms of how the game looks I'm somewhat mixed on the issue. Granted there's nothing wrong in technical terms but rather it's how those visuals...

There are many good things about this game, the graphics being one main importance, the online is another. There are also many game modes, which I’ll go into more depth with, later in the review. THE BAD: SUMMARY:

While many are out there playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360 a select few remain loyal to the Nintendo DS. Why, because of Metroid Prime Hunters.
Metroid Prime Hunters is a first person shooter for the Nintendo DS that utilizes that touch screen a great deal. This game has the same first person perspective as the other Metroid Prime Games (not Metroid Prime Pinball). As in every other Metroid game you take role as Samus Aran the Galactic Federation's best bounty hunter. The GF receives an odd message saying that the Secret to Ultimate Power lies in the Alimbic Cluster. The series takes an odd twist adding numerous bounty hunters to the adventure also searching for this ultimate power. Your goal is to secure the power before any of the other vicious bounty hunters can do so. The Adventure mode in this game is quite, lacking. You have to run around four different planets looking for artifacts. After you collect three artifacts, you then unlock a portal...

THE GOOD:
- Graphics and sound get 5/5 - Controls are simple and straightforward, this game has a very flat learning curve for starting to play but a relatively steep learning curve for competing online. - Wi-Fi playability, as well as VoIP with friends. - Okay story line. - Single player practice vs bots, as well as playing adventure mode. - Single card multiplayer support, always a welcome feature.

THE GOOD:
- The music is awesome -The videos, while somewhat short, are very detailed (I still see the Seal Sphere killing the other hunters in my dreams) - The multiplayer aspect is a great take on the FPS - The online capabilities are free at most hotspots - The weapons DO get better until you get a weapon that can kill in one headshot THE BAD: SUMMARY: Lowest Prices |
Series |
