Info Dump
-------------------------------------------------------
It's no secret that I am not a fan of the Prime series of games. It's not that I hate them, it's that they don't fit into the established lore of Metroid I, II and III + IV. They were forcibly crowbar in to fit into a tiny space that's not accommodating to it's size.
Insert your favorite variation of " That's what she said " here.
The lore itself is pretty weak. There's this metal called phazon, ooh aah, and Metroids can attach ot it and become Phazon Metroids, and then the Metroid Phazon Queen becomes Dark Samus because Dark Link was so cool and doing the whole SA-X was a great idea, so we want it too! It's only logical explanation has to be an alternate universe where the events of Metroid II never transpired, which means that Super Metroid never did either nor Fusion.
But what about Hunters?
Metroid Prime Hunters was designed solely as a Nintendo DS Exclusive Multiplayer First Person Shooter game to showcase what the Nintendo DS could do, and also to have a competitive shooter on the system. The plot was tacked on later and involves Samus wanna become the very best like no one ever was. No I know that's not the plot in actuality but that's what happens in the end if I recall the plot synopsis correctly when I read it years back.
The gameplay itself is good. I enjoy watching around in every direction as I please with free aiming so I can just spam my missiles in every direction - because if you haven't realized it by now, I kinda - LOVE - missiles and I will seek opportunities to fire the whole arsenal at my enemies. My main gripes is the constant need to hold down the mouse button which if you played it on NDS was to hold the stylus with one hand pressed against the screen in order to constantly look around, it was annoying, and the second gripe is that you must scan for puzzles and such to open doors, as I say in the chat " It's like the Developers saw the X-Ray Vision from Super Metroid and said; Ah man that is so cool! I love it! Let's make it obnoxious instead! ".
Part 1 kinda ends abruptly because Twitch went down so I figured it'd be the better idea to save state where I was and quit for the evening, to resume it another day and rest my weary finger.
