Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
In the most distant reaches of space, beyond the territories controlled by the Galactic Federation, is the Tetra Galaxy, once home to a mighty race known as the Alimbics. An advanced civilization, peaceful, prosperous and powerful, the Alimbics maintained stability over the region forcefully but judiciously. They reigned over a vast region known as the Alimbic Cluster. One day, perhaps thousands of years ago, perhaps tens of thousands, they simply disappeared, leaving behind artifacts, all scattered across the Alimbic Cluster, all protected by a lethal arsenal of the Alimbics' most advanced weaponry.

Today, for the first time in centuries, the long-dormant Alimbic System is stirring, delivering strange tidings. A telepathic communiqué, originating in Alimbic Cluster, has downloaded into the brains of some of the most exceptional beings in our galaxy. The message translates into a thousand different languages on a thousand different worlds. But the message always is the same: "The secret to ultimate power resides in the Alimbic Cluster."

This message has intrigued and enticed some of the most formidable bounty hunters in the galaxy to make the long journey to the Alimbic Cluster, each of these great warriors motivated by a different reason. Some desire power for themselves, or for their planet or people, while others simply have a relentless desire to hunt, or to kill, along with a fierce determination to prove themselves the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. Now, it's a race against time to see which bounty hunter will triumph over the others, who will discover the secret behind this promise of "ultimate power."

The Galactic Federation has heeded this strange, suspicious communication as well, and has called for the help of Samus Aran. Her mission: to discover the truth about this mysterious message, to protect against a potential threat, and to keep the Alimbics' ultimate power from falling into the wrong hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Game that the DS was designed for, surely!, 4 Jun 2006
By Jack Taylor "Iron Maiden Fan" (Cornwall, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Ever since i recieved my Nintendo DS and the demo of this game that came with it, i had been eagerly anticipating the game's release. And i wasn't disapointed when i finally got it a few weeksx ago. You havn't experienced the true potential of the Nintendo DS until you've played this game, or better still, own it!

The game has gone beyond my original expectations of what it would be like, with exceptional graphics (undoubtedly the best on the DS so far), gameplay, controls and audio.

Graphics: I expected the game to have good graphics for a portable console but these just blew me away when i first slotted it into the back of DS. OK so they aren't as good as the PSP's (at least i think that's what that awful handheld is called!) but they are pretty close in my opinion. 10/10

Audio: It's no good having a game with fantastic visuals if the audio is abismal, But Metroid doesn't fail to impress in the category either. The sound effects are great and the music matches the setting exceptionally. If you are walking down a long corridor the music just adds to the suspense of what might be at the other end. You might not find better sound on a portable console game. 9/10

Controls: I almost convinced myself that Nintendo must have made this game and then thought about how they could make a console that would be perfect for playing it on. You won't another DS game with controls that are in the same league as this, they truly are a treat to use. You use the stylus on the touch screen to look around (the best method of controling an FPS since the keyboard and mouse), the D-pad for movement and the L/R button to fire your weapon. Pure Genius. Enough said.
10/10

Online: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on this game is an absolute legend! There is no lag whatsoever and the game just has a whole new element of fun and tension when you realise that you're playing against another person somewhere, you just feel that you have to try that little bit harder in order to get revenge on someone who just fried you with a Shock Coil or blew you apart with a rocket launcher. Great fun! 9/10

Overall: You would be a fool to buy a Nintendo DS and then not buy this game, the two things simply don't go together. If you want the most exciting, fun, original experience on the move, then here it is. Because i'm telling you now, unless there's a sequel this is will be the only game that you will ever play on your DS apart from Mario Kart.

Treat yourself, buy it now!

4.0 out of 5 stars its a great game, 14 May 2006
By Ms. A. M. R. Ahmad - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
i can easily recommened this game to anyone because it is an extremely fun game to play. like its predecessors, metroid prime hunters stays loyal to previous metroid prime games with its intuitive control scheme and its great graphics. however, in this game there is no lock on features so you have to use the stylus to aim at enemies, it does take a while to get use to but once perfected, youll have a blast. The single player takes about 10 hours to finish but it will take nmore if you want to collect all the upgrades and scan everything.

the multiplayer on the other hand is probably the highlight of metroid prime hunters because it is, and i stress, really fun. You can play with 4 other players who own MPH wirelessly or you can use 1 MPH cart if your friends dont own it. also enabled is the nintendo wi-fi connection, all you have to do is search for 4 other around the world and your straight in there. there are lots of different multiplayer modes to play with in MPH including the classic battle and survivor and prime hunter and lots more. however, whilst playing online you can only do battle but if you have a friend whos got MPH you can swap friend codes and play these modes in the friends and rivals section(after every wi-fi match you can choose to be rivals or not) which leads into another highlight of MPH- the voice chat feature (VOIP). Yep, when you have gone through all that looking for friends stuff you can sit back and have a chat with them, its really easy to use, just hold the X button and speak into the Mic of you can just bring up a keyboard and send a text based message (MPH is the firs game to use this feature) before and after battles. i have used it, and it works incredibly well.

you can also unlock hunters in the multiplayer by beating them in single player or multiplayer, there are seven of them; Samus Aran; Spire; Weavel; Sylux; Noxus and Kanden- they all have their own unique weapons and alternative forms so it never gets boring. there are also over 20 multiplayer levels to unlock. you also have your own hunters licence in multiplayer which shows all your stats: how many games youve won, how many headshots youve done, how many times youve disconnected from a match (you lose points if you do this). you also have a ranking, you start of being a 1 star hunter but the more points you get, the higher your status becomes.

but if you dont have wi-fi or friends to play with, the meaty single player will last you a long time. MPHs graphics are incredible even for the DS, NST have pushed the hardware to its limits in this game, which leads into some slowdown in the more crowded areas but this doesnt happen much often. The sound in MPH is brilliant just like its console brothers. The ambiant sound effects make this one creepy game. there are several sub weapons to collect and there are two huge planets and two massive space station to search for the missing octoliths you have to find, but the tough bossess are guarding them. there are two bossess in this game and they are recycled many times but made harder. you have to scan lots of things to get deeper into the story of the Alimbic race which amps up the creepyness of MPH.

Overall, MPH is an incredible experience with minor issues like the frame rate and the learning curve but in all, this is a game you wont want to miss. trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metroid prime hunters., 10 Jun 2006
By Mrs. T. F. James "Tess james" (Starston, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is very fun to play and it doesnt get boring quickly. the learning curve is short (I picked it up in 10 minutes, you being cleverer than me will probably do it in 5!) It has a range of new bounty hunters including, Kanden and spire. The sigle player mode is good but i prefer multiplayer, it allows you to do single card download play so only one of you has to own the game. The wi-fi options are great because it lets you play anyone over the world even if you dont know them, the hunters and modes are limited but it is fun all the same. You can exchange friend codes with people aswell. all in all a great game and you will never put it down (one of the side effects!!)

overall 10/10
graphics 10/10
story 8/10
