Knighty, I own Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and I have completed both. I too find them better, but they are also CONSOLE games, with more cart space, longer development cycles, and that helps to "spice" up the experience. You're comparing a DS game to a frigging GAMECUBE game! And the multiplayer(IMO)RULES. It's pretty diverse, and I find that the action is superb. If you just want to fuck about online, then don't play MPH. It IS a competitive game, it's an FPS! It's supposed to be competitive! And if you don't like this game, say "I don't like it", and don't say "it IS a bit crap", cuz then you are stating an opinion as if it was a fact
