Introduction:

Hello people, I'm zelazon and I'll be doing the review for metroid prime hunters. If your wondering about my credentials, I was ranked 500 of the world, so that bring us to metroid prime hunters. Metroid prime hunters is based of the acclaimed prime series as you control samus aran in her helmet discovering new life, and eliminating evil threats that the space pirates have been bringing throughout the universe in the metroid series.


Story:

Well, in metriod prime hunters, you as samus aran have been assigned to recover ocliths, large glowing crystals from planets withholding them for the potential the crystal energy. The problem is that your not the only one trying to find the crystals, as other bounty hunters have their eyes on the crystals so it is up to you to find the crystal before the other bounty hunter get their hands (or claws) on the ocliths

Gameplay:

Gameplay is thoroughly enjoyable as you travel to different locations within the games perimeters. For a metroid prime game, it is fairly short, but for a ds game, it does the job in delivering what players want from a metroid game.

I give the gameplay: 10/10

Graphics:

Graphics are superb for ds in this game, even with wifi action, it does a great job to keep the game from making the graphics choppy.

I give the graphics: 10/10

Sound:

Musically, this game is lacking, but it fits the levels in which you travel to, but music for players is just there, nothing to rave about, although some of the music is repetitive, but sound good.

I give the sound: 8/10

Replayability:

Metroid prime games are in my opinion not the best games with replay value, but this game is different as it offers wifi to compensate for the lackingness that single player leaves you with.

I give the replayability: 10/10

Challenge:

At first I thought the game was super easy since there was no one on wifi that was that good, but now and day, if your not on my level, you stay a beginner. So in a sense, the challenge is there, and may be too challenging for some players.

I give the challenge: 10/10

Frustration:

The only time this game can get frustrating is when you end up getting beat by a cheater on wifi, or because of lag, or because you lack the skill, but all and all, you can end up deleting your game to start over your record.

I give the frustration: 10/10

Value:

$35 dollars for a game that offers wifi, and the ability to voice chat with friend across the world, need I say more?

I give the value: 10/10

Single Player:

The major flaw to this game. The single player can be repetitive as you end up fighting the same two bosses four times over again. The levels aren't that big, and after playing on wifi, the challenge just isn't there.

I give the single player: 4/10

WiFi

The best thing about this game, as your able to play with players all over the world. Exchange friend code to gain the abilities to talk or send messages to a person across the world. You can
go to nintendowifi.com and input your ds wifi serial number to have your record posted on nintendo wifi, so it basic made to check which friend is playing legit, or which ones are disconnecting. This is the reason to get this game. Also your offered six different hunters depending on how much you complete the game, or been on wifi. Those hunters that is, your going to have to get them on your own.

I give the wifi: 20/20

Overall:

overall, this game is good, and well worth to buy.

I give Metroid Prime Hunters: 80/100

Conclusion:

get the game, play people across the world, and become the best.
