Solid game, although figuring out where to go can be quite confusing. So much so, that I'm actually stuck in a spot I've been stuck at for over a month... Aside from the total confusion and lack of a story, the game can be fun just jumping around and shooting things... I hope for more decent FPS shooters on th DS in the future.

I never really clicked into this game, being the Metroid fan I am..

The online was fun as fun gets while the story was pretty lame, I honestly just stopped playing the story after the first boss..I dont know why I just did.

being able to get a match agaisnt anyone online really added alot and made things fun and easy online with with a span of horrible to pro opponents.

well this game is not all that good but all i know is that this game give samus some real action and she needed it, im glad that they came out with a metroid for the DS but i wish they kept it 3D

overall this is a rent and if you like it, buy it

It's not so much the storyline that makes this game such a blast, but the online play! Connecting with friends or just other random people makes this game the best first-person shooter on the DS, if there are any others. :P The game control is very well planned out. But you may get tired of it after the first few months. This is a buy.

Love this game really cool look to the metroid series
the graphics are really good and the storyline is great to. The stylus control makes you feel that you are samus. This game is all around great 5 stars
A great intro to all the new Hunter characters, and an all around great game with awesome pinpoint controls.

the only FPS metroid game on the DS. more of a multiplayer game than anything. the single player gets repetitive after a while, but still playable. the lack of unique bosses may be a dissapointment for some. but the big thing that saves this game is the online play. not the best metroid game out there, but definately one to get if you're an online player.

The latest quest is nifty: you use Samus' ship to fly to planets, where you collect gems and fight fellow rival bounty hunters (often with these prized gems at stake). The lack of variation in boss battles was a little disappointing, but they did pose a nice challenge. There are some great ideas here, and it looks like Corruption is drawing some inspiration.

But seriously, it's all about the multiplayer here. The inclusion of AI bots can make offline multiplayer a possibility, as well as mixing up the action when battling your friends. Must-have stuff here

Comments: A pretty good Metroid game. I prefer the First-Person Shooter feel of this game over the exploration-based console Prime games. The exploration aspect should stay with the 2D games. Oh yeah, I still love to argue this: the Prime games are NOT First-Person Adventure games. You SHOOT stuff in a FIRST-PERSON view, therefore, it's a First-Person Shooter. You explore in one big level in Half-Life just like you do in the Prime games, but Half-Life's not a First-Person Adventure, is it? Hell no.

I usually don't like FPS', but this game is really good. It can be hard since you have to figure out where to go next, but if you explore enough you can finish it in a reasonable amount of weeks. The multiplayer is some of the best multiplayer I've ever experienced. Now that I no longer have this game, I really miss it!

Good but not excelent, the game is about killing Bounty Hunters making the game Metroid Prime Hunters if some of you don't know why its called that way. The controls i don't really like, you have to use the stylish to look around and the D-pad to move also the R button to fire but i perfer not using the stylish for adventure games. But you can change the controls but with the D-pad it doesn't feel right on its own. Wi-fi isn't terribly brill but ok.

Only buy this game if you like Metroid Prime games or adventure games with FPS but Do add me if you want then send me a message

I love this game.
The story mode is not so great but the multiplayer WAY MORE than makes up for it!
This is the most fun game on a handheld ever!
I provides endless hours of fun.
I can't recomend this more.

its one of the best metroid, but it can get boring when you don't have friend codes.
excellent graphics but hard to control on the ds due to the lack of the ds size and lack of buttons

When is started this game i thought it was pretty fun but after playing it for a while it got bored and my wrists got tired.

The Bosses repeat, the levels are like labyrinths
and i got stuck a few times, but i like the control, Four-player online play is cool and lots of multiplayer options

Metroid Prime: Hunters is the only main series Metroid game to appear on DS, and it proivdes a respectable expierince.

Perhaps the biggest turn-off to Metroid fans will be this titles increased focus on multyplare. The result is a fairly straightfoward single-player adventure that has a rather generic feel to it. One interesting feature however is that rival bountyu hunters can apper at random points during the game, making it feel as though they truly are exploring the game world at their own pace.

The Multiplayer, by contrast, is very good. Samus and the six rival bounty hunters are all available for play, and each one has his or her own playstyle. There are a variety of modes and maps to play on, as well as an online option.

Overall, if you are looking for a good online multiplare game, then this might be what you are looking for.

This game may have a horrible story line, but it's multiplayer is incredible. Multiplayer can also be played solo (possible bug) by clicking on multiple game cards, and clicking create game. Just add 3 bots.

Don't ask.......   :(

It is a five star game....

Single player is boring, but multiplayer is amazing. I like Halo more though. Maybe they should make a metroid game like that.
