Metroid Prime Hunters (DS)

Many gamers will admit that when they heard news of rookie developing studio Retro tackling such a venerable franchise as Metroid and attempting to transition it to a 3D title, they were dismayed. What were the chances that Retro could pull it off? To be honest, very slim. And yet, many gamers will also admit their shock -- and delight -- when the game was released and met with critical acclaim from nearly every major review source. Somehow, Retro had done the impossible and created a Metroid world that was nostalgically similar to that we all knew -- and at the same time something brilliant and new and all its own. So, is it any real surprise that gamers were ...  Read the complete review

I got this game on release date ordered from amazon.co.uk. I knew it was going to be a good one so I pre-ordered it and waited. I was right. This game is a very well-made game for the Nintendo DS, and works very well.

By progressing through the games and unlocking new guns, you get access to new places. There are many different ...  Read the complete review

As in the other Metroid games, you play as Samus Aran, a female bounty hunter. You being by scanning around the Alimbic Cluster for planets, from which you need to collect 8 octoliths from for the ultimate power. You soon find that there are other bounty hunters racing you for these octolith artifacts in order to find an ultimate power. These enemies all have different strengths, weaknesses, weapons and characteristics, and all steal your octoliths if they beat you in battle. This means you'll have to later recover that octolith too. The control system in this may seem slightly confusing and complex, but once you get used to it allows for ...  Read the complete review
