OMG I Want Metriod Prime : Hunters



I haven't ever been a huge fan of FPS, I don't have anything against them... they just aren't my first port of call when I'm looking for a new game. I loved Half Life on the PC and Counter-Strike on the xbox and the Original Metroid on the Cube was great but I'd still rather a few laps of Mario Kart or Burnout any day. The videos that have been released for Metroid Prime: Hunters on Liksang today though are just amazing!!!

This video of the gameplay is awesome!!! I just want to go out and buy the game now!

Story Timeline and Basic Gameplay

Basically, Metroid: Prime Hunters is an original First Person Shooter. Mission file 791019 takes place in the time period between Metroid Prime and its sequel, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, which both appeared on GameCube before. Therefore, Samus sports the Varia Suit from Echoes, but she's piloting the ship from Prime 1 (a little trivia never hurt nobody!). Anyone who was lucky to get an early Nintendo DS may have played the title in its demo form, called Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt. Be aware of the fact, that the full game now bears only little resemblance to that brief sample. The touch screen is used to look around, as well as offering a radar display of enemies. Plus, there are several controls to be found on the touch panel as well: swap the active blaster to missiles here, or trigger morph ball form and scan visor usage. Much appreciated comes the option to choose from left and right handed touch screen play and being able to switch between stylus and D-pad maneuvering. You can even adjust the sensitivity of the touch controls, similar to tuning your mouse when playing a FPS on a computer.
