Anybody like Metroid?

haven't played them

Yes. I love them. XD

Not sure any of them but Metroid Prime 3 and mayhaps Other M count as shooters though.

[Drewsov]

Eh... I'd count all three Metroids as "first person adventures"... but technically, since they're first person and involve shooting... why not?

[Chozon1]

MGS is third person and involves shooting...why not call it a TPS?

It's the fact that the FPS genre includes epics and trash, and and Metroid Prime series has shooting more as a primary attack than the method of the game.

MP3...I dunno. Felt almost linear.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Wasna correcting you, just offering my opinion. I've not checked, but I think they're listed under the FPS genre. I just don't, and never will, consider them as such.

Same with Half Life. And it's pretty much definitively an FPS; those games, and these, are just so much deeper than Halo, or even CoD.

No, you nubs, MGS is top-down, and always has been, except for MGS3: Subsistence and MGS4.

Just my opinion, but Half-Life... isn't exactly deep.

MGS is top down? Mah bad...felt like it came from a third person perspective. XD

And...that's why you're still a kid.

[Strayinghyena]

Did anyone like Metroid Other: M?
Why or why not?
I haven't played it yet.

[Chozon1]

Haven't played it either. Can't afford it, for one...but I'm also wary about it being too much like Ninja Gaiden.

Me too. But the story looks pretty interesting.

[Pheonix]

I love me some Metroid. AH

I love me some Metroid. AH

Cool, do you have a favorite?

[SSquared]

Yes!!!!! I've been playing the old Gamecube "Metroid Prime" on the Wii and this game has absolutely blown me away. I haven't experienced anything like this since I played Half-Life. But this thread reminds me, I haven't touched the game in several months. I really need to get back to it. I was getting into some really juicy part of the story and game last I played. I also have one of the old Metroid games on the GBA as well. I can't remember which one, though.
