Metroid Prime, on the DS. Makes creative use of the control scheme, but still is difficult to control. Worth renting, would not buy.
Who will like it: Metroid fans, and 1st person shooter fans who manage to wrap their minds and fingers around the control scheme.
Who won't like it: Anyone who find the control scheme to cause their fingers to cramp up. And I think this is most people. Still worth a rental to see if it works out for you or not.
First of all i was very impressed with the overall presentation of Metroid Prime hunters. The game has great controls and an interesting storyline about investigating a dead race, slowly as time passes you learn why they are a dead race. The story is not as well developed as the Wii or gamecube Metroid prime series, but better than what i expected for the DS. The game also gives a great selection of weapons. I was disappointed in the variety of enemies though.
