Screw attack beats everything. She doesn't need an exploitable weakness.

Of course, everything depends on timing. Batman better hope she attacks right after landing because you know she never goes to a new planet with more than one energy tank and no weapons. Foresight is not her forte.

I love how this turned into a Samus vs. Batman match. Batman would win of course because he has some anti samus gadget

I remember hearing somewhere that Arkham felt like Metroid. hmmm maybe it was a user review.

Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. - Albert Einstein on the Wii

I think the reason people compare Arkham Asylum to MP is the level structure. Both take place in "open-world" structures which are essentially large rooms with environmental puzzles connected via hallways. You will frequently run across passages and secrets you cannot use or collect yet, so you need to return later once you have the correct gadget. This mixture of remembering secret locations and collectibles, backtracking and exploration feels a lot like Metroid Prime, combined with the fact both use different visors to detect/record things. Beyond that the games are entirely different, though.

So let me add this, if you like FPS', then by all means get MP3, you'll probably love it. If you don't like them, MP3 won't change your mind on them

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and disagree on this one; I can't stand FPS games but Metroid Prime - because of the atmosphere, the arcady-ness, the morph ball and of course the gameplay - totally won me over. It's annoying when people want to point out that "Metroid Prime isn't an FPS but an FPA"... but it's kind of true. I'm still not into FPS games, but Metroid Prime Trilogy is probably somewhere in my top 5 of all time.

As for the topic at hand, what Wesbert said. If you like Batman, get both.

So, Turtle? Don't buy that one. You can find it on Ebay for less than half that. I'll sell you my copy of Excite Bots for $250, but that doesn't mean you can't find it much cheaper, haha.

I didn't buy it I was just saying that it was that much used, so buying that, Prime 1 (which is about $10) and Prime 2 (about $15)
Is a lot more expensive than just getting Trilogy.

That's still pointless. No one shops by the highest price possible. Trilogy is certainly not a bad price, but it's not the most cost efficient way of getting all three games.

Exactly. But i don't see why after many years, Nintendo Wii games cost so much!

If you look in the right places, they don't. If you want Corruption cheap, go on Ebay, don't go to Gamestop. Trilogy costs the same (or maybe slightly more) because it was a limited edition.

So if Metroid is an FPA what would you call a game like portal or mirror's edge?

Well without that amount of speed or the incredible gladOs.... (I love portal.)

But both those games don't require shooting in the FPS sense. Portal is getting to point A to Point B. Mirror's edge is the same but the only gun you can get is if you disable and enemy and the game punishes you if you use it.

In the matter of Samus vs. Batman...

I have no doubt in my mind Dahlia Hawthorne would win that battle.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Hilarious.

But no, I couldn't see how they would compare either.

It bored you to tears. But it's one of the best Batman games. Batman for NES is also great.

I... um... uh. Yes.

I wish I had stopped playing there, Pix. When I got to the point that I was asked to hunt them down, it almost seemed like a joke. I figured there had to be something more to it than that.

Nope.

For some reason I didn't mind MP2 as much, but the super depressing atmosphere makes me never want to play it again -- same problem with Twilight Princess.

Corruption was just... Yet another step away from being a traditional Metroid game and toward a kind of game I don't like.

I wasn't impressed by Arkham Asylum's demo whatsoever, mostly just mindless beat em up action, but I can't believe I'm mentioning this in the same post as one on Metroid.

I liked the depressing places of twilight princess... Majoras Mask had the most crazy places though in my opinion, which is why it's one of my favorite

Well, my problem with Twilight Princess isn't that there are some depressing places, but that the entire game is depressing. The story has none of the light-heartedness of Toon Link or the old games. And visually either you're in the Twilight Zone and surrounded by black (not to mention the depressing music), or you're in the Real World and surrounded by brown, so no matter where you are you're surrounded by dull, monotonous colors in a corny TV show.

I think it could use more color I guess, but I like the melancholy moods(sorry about spelling), I like things to be dark. I didn't like the twilight zone as much... I just think they should have had more interaction in the the field areas, and make every enemie encounter NOT a waggle til they die, I like evry battle to be a straegy, and a REAL fight, like the big armoured guys, which are still pretty easy but alot more fun to fight.
