Nintendo's Halo January 21, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this game off of amazon and ended up saving some money because it is cheaper than buying in stores. first of all, this game is awesome. I don't exagerate when i say that it is a halo 4 nintendo i mean i have never had this much fun with a metroid yet. on the the review
Grafix- They are just amazing. i was a bit skeptical that it would be all choppy and what not, but i was extremely surprised at the fluency of the grafix, ofcoarse you'll get the occasional black line flashing through the screen, but that happens for all the games I own and it is only there 4 an instant.
Single player Mode- sry to you metroid lovers who think that the stradegy and complexness is just the coolest thing about metroid, there really is none of that. the story mode is pretty much just Samus trying to go around 4 planets finding the octolaths and gaining weapons as you go along, the main reason i even bothered completing story mode 100% was so that i could unlock all the characters and levels, but i've heard you can do this by winning wifi matches also.
Multi Player Mode- For the sake of conveniance i have divided this part into three sections.
SIngle Card download play- I have to say that this is pretty cool if you don't have the game because it will give you a feel for playing it, the downsides are that 1)You can only be samus, and 2) it takes FOREVER to load a single card download play match. my suggestion is if you are ever playing single card download play it will defiently give you the edge to be the host of the game. If you are host you can both choose your character and arena which gives you a major advantage over other players
MULTI CARD DOWNLOAD PLAY- Multi card download play is the best way to play if you and your buddies own a copy of the game. all of you can choose your characters and you can choose wut kind of gameplay you want. these modes include battle, survival, bounty, defender, prime hunter, capture, and nodes. you can also play with teams on which i enjoy because the game is more fun that way.
WIFI- Wifi is just pure amazingment (haha new word) it is one of the main reasons i bought the game, so if you do not have wireless internet i highly suggest that you buy a nintendo wireless router. how wifi starts is that you firs must configure your wifi so that your DS can find a Wifi Spot when you connect. then you choose either find game or friends and rivals. IN find game you specify if you want opponents from world wide or local reagion and then whether you want your opponents your rank or not. With friends and rivals you can play people who you have played from previous games or people whose friend code you have. in general Wifi is just like multi card play only against people world or nation wide.
CONTROLS- the contols can be found in the start up menu underneath the multiplayer button. there are four different kinds of control Stylus mode right, Stylus mode left, Duel mode right, and duel mode left. personally the best modes to use are the stylus modes because they are much easier to target with, and if you use duel mode it's just like an FPS without a joy stick. personally for the most control, the stylus's which strap onto your thumb are the best.
CHARACTERS- there are seven different Characters, Samus, Kanden, Spire, Trace, Noxus, Stylux, and Weavel.
SAMUS
PRIMARY WEAPON-Missle Launcher
ALT. FORM-Morph ball
Samus is the character i use the least but quite a few people will use her during Wifi battles, her Primary weapon is her missle launcher and doesn't really give you and edge except for the fact that if you Fully charge her missles and shoot in the general direction of an enemy the missle will follow that character, the morph ball is nifty for moving fast and the bombs can pack a punch if set in the right spots. but all and all she's pretty much your basic character. Watch out, samus's large head makes her prone to head shots.
KANDEN
PRIMARY WEAPON-volt driver
ALT. FORM-stinglarva
Kanden is pretty sweet. if you fully charge the volt driver and hit and enemy it will temporaraly scramble their vision and will do quite a bit of damage. the stinglarva is a nice weapon and kanden will move pretty fast with it, his bombs seem to be mini versions of himself that will shoot towards enemies and explode on contact.
SPIRE
PRIMARY WEAPON-magmaul
ALT. FORM-Dialanche
Spire is a cool character. fully charging his magmaul and hitting the enemy will cause them to light on fire for a breif period of time, but dont fire it too close or you'll light on fire too. the dialanche looks like a spiky morph ball, and instead of bombs, it has 2 rocks which will revolve around and do quite a bit of damage. spire can also roll up walls when he is in morph ball mode, and he can walk through lava with no damage.
TRACE
PRIMARY WEAPON-imperialist
ALT. FORM-triskelion
trace is the sniper in the game, if you obtain the imperialist and stand still he will turn invisible, only becoming visible again if he moves or fires his weapon. unless he is in the triskelion he is not the best one for close range combat, the triskelion is like a three legged spider and when you attack with it it will lunge in the direction it is pointing at. if you stand still while in alt form you will also become invisible.
NOXUS
PRIMARY WEAPON-judicator
ALT. FORM-vhoscythe
noxus is kinda worthless actually, his weapon is good and if you hit some one with it when it is fully charged they will be frozen and you can hit them repeatedly without them attacking back (go for the head) but the vhoscythe is hard to handle and not very good, you spin like a top and when you attack a small blade (i really think it's his foot) comes out and chops at anything nearby.
STYLUX
PRIMARY WEAPON-shock coil
ALT. FORM-lockjaw.
stylux is personally my favorite character. he is powerful with his shockcoil (which will transfer your enemies life you you) and his alt form is just amazing. when using the shock coil try to keep the beam on as long as possible because the longer it's hitting the target, the faster it drains life. the lock jaw bombs are unique, when you lay two out within an adequite range they make a sort of trip wire which is very useful, you can also lay out 3 forming a triangle which, when an enemy is inside, will suck all the bombs to the center pretty much killing your enemy.
WEAVEL
PRIMARY WEAPON-battle hammer
ALT. FORM-halfturret
Weavel is an ok character, the war hammer is a tad strange and fires lots of bullets fast. the halfturret is cool though because it divides weavel into 2 things, a stationary turret, and a robot with spinning blades, but ur health is also cut in half to so it is difficult to stay in alt form for long periods of time.
k, well hope this helped, if you ever want to play me my friend code is 193362067431 and my name is hellraizer.

Bought this for my son, but I think I play it more than he does. I really like the graphics of this game and the gameplay is great. If you like First Person Shooters, and you want one for a handheld system, then this is one FPS you shouldn't pass up.
Another excellent, and exclusive, title for the DS January 7, 2007

When Nintendo first unveiled the DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters was one of the first gmaes that were shown to the public. Well, after some time in development, it's finally here, and much like many other Nintendo games that get delayed, it was worth the wait. Once again playing as bounty hunter Samus Aran, Metroid Prime: Hunters shows just what the DS can do with the first person shooter. Anyone familiar with the Metroid Prime games on the Gamecube will feel right at home here, despite the fact that there is no auto aiming feature, and the stylus and touch screen must be used to aim while using the directional pad to manuver yourself. This allows for some very tight and precise controls, but beware that this will take some getting used to, and this will be a bit difficult to pick up at first. However, after spending some time with it, you'll find some truly fantastic gameplay. And this gameplay is truly something to behold thanks to the game's multiplayer capabilities. Taking advantage of the DS' Wi-Fi capabilities, the game allows for tons of multiplayer options that really show off what the DS can do, and that in itself is a welcome feature. The game looks slick enough for a DS title despite a few graphical glitches, and the overall feel of the game is pure Metroid all the way. If there's any low points of Metroid Prime: Hunters, it's that the level design is a bit repetitive, but that's only a minor gripe. All in all, Metroid Prime: Hunters is another excellent, first party title that solidifies the fact the DS is the best handheld system on the market right now, and hopefully more developers will take cues from this game when bringing first person shooters to the wonderous thing that is called the DS.
 A step lower than the console games, but it is still somewhat decent. December 29, 2006

A classic Nintendo favorite brought on it's latest adventure to the DS is just what everybody needed. This game features multiplayer with bots and Wi-Fi, but the single player won't keep you at bay for long. Controls: The control setups are decent. You can choose left handed touch screen controls, right handed touch screen controls, left hand button controls, and right hand button controls. The controls are good as I see no other way to put them concerning the Nintendo DS build.
Graphics: The graphics are amazing. Everything with texture and close detail. But the graphics are grainy and can get the player to go dizzy. Opening menu has a good red space theme and the box has a nice shiny space theme. Sound: The sound corresponds with the levels and actions well, but nothing to go bragging about.
Multiplayer: The multiplayer is absolutely amazing. It features download play which is good. You can multiplay with other people who have the game in many different modes, maps, and characters with different abilities. Wi-Fi is an excellent addition to this, so you can play online with people. You can add bots in multiplayer and customize their levels which is good for alone multiplay.
Single-player: Single player is nice, but not the main reason to get the game. More of a side reason to get the game. The save points are bad. You will havew to play this game for a long time before you can save it. The single play is well done, but the whole process of shooting enemies, scanning objects, and activating triggers can get repetetive. If you are stuck in the single player campaign, that wouldn't be pleasant. But there is always the multiplaying/Wi-Fi capabilities. All in all, the reason to get this.
This game is a vast improvement from Metroid Prime 2 because there is a better multiplayer, there is Wi-Fi, and you can take it with you on the go. 40 dollars is a high price for this game, but it's going down and it's worth picking up a copy.
Pros: Wi-Fi connection ; Bot settings ; Decent multiplayer.
Cons: Bad controls ; Graphics are bound to give you a headache.
