It's funny, I also think Metroid Prime is overrated... I feel like gekko, me against the world in some opinions.

Haha...

Guess what? You're not the only one. I think Metroid Prime is overrated too.

*Takes out flame proof vest....*

Hhah you're not the only ones, I think Metroid is a underrated game as well.. er o.. that's not what yall said. I think MP and ED are both good games, but ED wasn't GOTY caliber.

I thought ED and MP were both good games, but I think they were also both a bit overrated...

Yep... ED was more overrated than MP was... yep... I'm not so sure what makes MP game of the year material... :unsure:

no flaming here... I think when you guys say things like "I think MP is overrated" etc, you should say what games that came out in 2002 were better? Personally, I think that MP is the most original game I've played since GTA3... and certainly the best game to come out in 2002, as for ED, I just bought it used based on this thread, and I love it, no, not quite GOTY, but I think it's amazing in many ways

Long list of 2002 games I enjoyed more...

I just couldn't get into Metroid, I simply didn't like the concept... and the controlls, ugh.

They are so easy that it makes the game hard. I would rather have more gun control like in a normal FPS, that toggle crap is retarded.

Metroid isn't horrible though, it just isn't great either.

Although I think Metroids controls are good enough, after taking a short break from Metroid (after beating it 100%) to play some Medal of Honor, then going back to Metroid (to beat it 100% on hard mode just for the hell of it :p ), I realized that I like MoH's control scheme 10 times better than metroid's...

As for listing what games I think were better, I really suck at ranking certain games above others... Even if it's in my own opinion, I don't really fully form an opinion on which of the BEST games is truly THE BEST... heh... I just think Metroid is overrated, just like ED... Still a great game, but I think the reason NGC fans were so overly pleased with ED and Metroid is because they were like "Oh my god a good game! :o" and had something worth spending their money on after a long drought ;)

:sneaky:

Deathshand, some of that could be true about N fans finally having a good game to rave about, but I also think that can make you think more negatively about a game, since so many people seem to rave about a game, naturally you can be inclined to disagree with the masses (can't blame anyone for that), or maybe it's because I'm a Metroid fan from way back that I love it. Anyway, I just got my Cube on xmas, with MP so I'm not one of those Nintendo fans that had Halo envy or anything, but I was just unimpressed with the selection on my ps2. Besides SOCOM online, nothing really grabbed me the way MP did in the review on gamespot. I also don't think it's fair to compare MP to a FPS... really not the same, and since you played MP to 100% you know that. I can't really imagine the controls differently now, but to each his own, right? ED... I just have to say this is a great game, the mood/atmosphere just drew me right in from the beginning, the gameplay is addicting as hell and I love the whole concept... again I don't think I'm being "overly pleased" because of my lack of games... because I really have no lack. Okay, here say I see ED at my friends house, and REALLY like it (imagin that!) and all I have is a ps2, or xbox, what would compare? Silent hill 2? Didn't do it for me...
Anyway, I have to get back to work, thanks for the thoughts.
