But if it were in 3rd person it woudl be adventure. Would oyu call zelda a 3rd person fighting game? Didn't think so. The OBJECTIVE is to explore and adventure, not to shoot. You free roam in it, you don't in a FPS. Half-Life 2 is a FPS, you don't explore liek you do in a Metroid game.

MP2 is just like the other Metroids, just in first person, so why aren't those classified as shooters? Because none of them are.

Thats cos the GC is filled with nothing with but crap. PS2 is a performance machine altho the xbox wipes the floor with it it still beats the GameCube by a few hundred miles. I have ps2 and xbox and a pc with an ATI Radeon 9800Pro and im afraid all 3 beat the GameCube. :P I used to have a GameCube but got rid of it so i could buy a much better Gameboyadvanced SP

Not really. Hardware wise:
Xbox > Gamecube > PS2

Sony badly bites the dust when compared, which is okay considering the machine is about 2 years older than the others. It's also much more likely to break, though, because they tried to get the production costs as low as possible. :S

Xbox>ps2>PC>GBA SP>PSP>Gamecube(sorry to break the truth)

ps2s only had 1 bad batch cos the lens in some of the ps2 were faulty but people sent them back and they got repaired for free or a new one back=no probs+ive had my ps2 since they were released and played it for ages and its still in perfect condition so its just the gamecube its utter rubbish sorry to all you

:haha: Stubborn fella, aren't you? What I posted was the truth. The PS2 has the worst hardware of the three, regardless of how much you like it, pet it and drool over it. Even Sony won't deny that.

Zomg. More respect for you.

I only need to make two points. Number one, the PS2 has only two controller ports. Two. Count them. Number two, basicly what Sheex said. No matter how much you deny it, Sony used the ****tiest hardware available when creating the PS2. And if you feel like thinking that the GBA SP is better than the GC itself, you should reconsider. That's like comparing the SNES with the GC. In fact, it basicly is comparing the two. I need no further explanation of how far fetched that comment is.

On Metroid Prime being a FPS--you're really wrong there. In Metroid Prime, it's not like Halo or Half Life where you see something, you shoot it. You have to use your brain--figure out puzzles and ****. This game in my opinion is Zelda, plus aliens, blood, and a gun. Also, remember when you turn into the energy ball, you're definately not in first person.

I got it the day it came out, it's awesome.  It's really awesome with surround sound hooked up to the GC :D

I think I'm on my third round playing it so far ^^'

holy **** man. :haha: I just got to Torvus Bog on my first.

Wait until you get to the fortress, its F**KING AWESOME

I wish you luck on the boost guardian, for he has no mercy :no:

Possible Spoiler Warning












Boost guardian? Wait till you get to the Emporer Ing. **** that guy is impossible!




















End of possible spoiler

Anyways, MP2 has nothing on MP. MP had a better story and the gameplay IMO was just better. MP2 is a damn good sequel, I doubt that they could make it better, but it just isn't near as good as MP

Metroid Prime Rating: 9.6/10
Meroid Prime 2: Echoes Rating: 9.2/10

BTW-->Metroid Prime is no FPS. Stop ******* putting it as a damn Halo when it has nothing like it. Its a ******* First-Person Adventure

Pales in comparison to its precursor, otherwise I'd think its okay, the 2D rifts are redundant mostly. Also you get the Light Suit with liek 10min of gameplay left, which is pretty blasphemous.
