I prefer Metroid over Halo myself. My brother thinks Halo is way better. I always thought that Halo was a spinoff of Metroid. Metroid games seem to have deeper story and involve more exploration and puzzles. This post has been edited by mariokid on Mar 22 2006, 08:47 PM

One is a platformer about exploring large areas, using your brain to solve difficult puzzles, while the other is a mindless, poorly textured, story driven, FPS. I don't understand why you are comparing these. It's like claiming that Gumshoe and Doom are sister franchises, and can easily be compared. --------------------

Ok, well... how about which game did you enjoy better?

It's simple. The idiot "hardcore" gamers nowadays never got to experience Super Metroid, thus they think that Metroid Prime is a stand-alone game in itself, and a pure FPS.

I played a lot of the original metroid games and they were all great. I'm not asking which is a better FPS, I just wanted to know which series everyone enjoyed more.

It's very difficult for me to compare these games on a scale of 'which did I enjoy more'...

Let's just say, I enjoyed them both in seperate ways.

I think it was "iloveknees" or something like that. And it wasn't a fansite.

Yep.

A fan registered a bunch of those to promote MP2.

Anyways, METROID PLZ

Dear Webmaster,

I asked Nintendo who would win in a fight, and they replied with this:

Message(#6851-000484-0220\XXXXXXX)

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

Samus would win easily. Why? Because Halo is weak. If you would like
to discuss your games with other players, I would suggest checking out
our forums at http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo. Here, we have a
number of bulletin boards/forums that allow you to post your questions and
observations to, as well as participate in our online chats. In order
to use these features of our site, you must be a My Nintendo member.
For more information on a free My Nintendo membership, please click on
the "My Nintendo" link on our main page.

Notice to Newcomers: If you haven't yet posted a message to one of our
forums, you will only have access to two of our boards for the first
three days. The two boards, Game Play Help for Newcomers and Technical
Support, are located in the Nsider Newcomers section. You also need to
have over 300 "page views" in our forums, which means viewing new
pages, or refreshing the page that you've looked at. After the third day
and 300 page views, you will be able to post messages to our other bulletin boards.

Have fun!
Nintendo of America Inc.

Dear Anon,

Oh really? How interesting. Because I have seen Ms. Aran in action, and I certainly don’t remember the Master Chief rolling himself into a ball at the first sign of danger.

How can you just sit there and eat pizza? Group: Members Posts: 14199 Member No.: 29 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	It's because Metroid is "The" big First-person shooting series on the Gamecube, and Halo is one of (if not the) most popular First-person series on x-box and pc, so naturally fanboys compare. It's kind of like the Mario vs. Sonic wars of the early '90s. -------------------- Once there was a shyguy who came back to MFGG for one day to post, then he went back to dreaming about ramen.
