Metroid Prime: Hunters challenges your skills as you control Samus Aran, the space bounty hunter made famous in the Metroid series. A ferocious race, now extinct, has left behind relics of their once powerful warrior culture. Now bounty hunters from across the galaxy are racing against each other in order to lay claim to these relics hoping to harness their power for themselves. It's the race of a lifetime, as you guide Samus to the relics before other hunters can reach them - and use them on her (Game Box).
Yet another game I just don't feel like talking about, because it's not that awesome. In fact, now I'm not sure why it's on this list. It tries to be a mouse-and-keyboard first-person shooter, but the stylus doesn't control well enough to be a mouse, and the way you have to hold the game causes some pretty painful cramps. Not to mention the difficulty of double tapping the screen for a jump.
The plot is alright, even without metroids, and the locations are cool for a handheld. It's just so frustratingly hard to control and navigate, and the boss is the same in every level. The rival bounty hunters, though, are a nice touch, and the multiplayer was really fun. That's really probably why it's here, playing wifi multiplayer on a handheld was pretty stellar.
So, Hunters isn't an upstanding part of the Metroid series, but it's still fun. I just don't have much to say about it. Onward.
Best Moment: The most memorable thing for me was when Samus first emerges from her ship. Seeing her suit rendered so well on a handheld system was cool at the time.
Best Character: Samus is always cool. Except in Other M.
Best Music: Trace
