Topic: Metroid VS Halo

Metroid.

I loved Halo 1 & 2. And yes, I think Halo 1 was the best in the series too.

I find the Halo series overrated and lackluster. It's quite boring, the graphics never impressed me, it felt like every run of the mill sci-fi shooter. The controls are also terrible.

Metroid, halo is the type of game thats ment to be online, while Prime Hunters was online it was that way for reason

Metroid. Every time I play Halo it feels like just another FPS. I never got what the big deal was.

I could never compare Halo to Metroid. I can't even compare the Prime series to Halo because they are way to different. Halo is a straight up, solid FPS that the main objective is killing and defending. While Metroid Prime in my opinion isn't even a FPS game, I classify it in the First-Person-Action-Adventure type game. There is more of an emphisis on exploration and puzzles than killing and fighting. Both are great game franchises, but they are just way to different to compare.

I believe that majority of Halo fans started gaming when original Xbox was released, and it may have been one of the first games played by many. For them, it's propably nostalgic. How many older generation gamers are there, who like Halo? Not too many, and propably very few of those who started with N64 and played throught it's greatest FPS games before Halo.

I absolutely agree.

No.

GoldenEye came out like 5 years before the first Halo. And Halo had nothing to do with the creation of Metroid Prime.

I think you misunderstood him. I believe he meant that the popularity of Halo and Goldeneye were responsible for Metroid Prime being feasible.

Look, these very distinctly different games. One is online multiplayer and another is an adventure game. I still Halo is better apreciated as a piece of Lore rather than a first person shooter.

A Metroid.VS.Halo Thread, in a Nintendo Fan web site...., guess who going to win.....

Metroid and Halo, are nowhere near at the Same Level, There both to different games, in every way,.
This is like if Someone trying to compare Mario to God of War

Metroid isn't really a FSP type Game, unless you call shoot Bugs game. It has it own style of Doing things.
Halo is a game no one really get it for it's Story, but its Gameplay for Online.

It happens.

we can do without insulting other users just because they're excited for an upcoming game, guys. :/

I think the story in Halo is better but Metroid doesn't really need a story.

I see how someone might want to compare them due to the Prime series however I barely see how the general series are comparable. Metroid is an exploration series yet Halo is purely FPS so its apples and oranges...I'm a man of mainly Nintendo consoles and I prefer the immersive atmosphere of Metroid to the run and gun kinda gameplay of Halo (I can't judge too much as I don't have the game myself, I do however have a friend who is big into Halo so I've seen him play it a lot).
Each to their own I suppose,

Don't even have to look at the comments to guess who the users are cheering for.

Metroid
Reason:
It's Metroid

F-f-f-f-ixed....

Metroid evolved platformers into something greater for all players.
Halo almost destroyed the FPS genre for hardcore players by introducing "noob mode" as a standard.
(The term "noob mode" refers to a gameplay mechanic that automatically regenerates the players vitals after a few seconds).
The choice is obvious, Metroid.
