No wonder Metroid Prime sold so well...
At any rate, this is clearly a matter of opinion. IMO, I think Halo's "oh, all hell's breaking loose and we gotta get out" story is less engaging, because "all hell breaks out" all the time in Halo AND Metroid Prime, but Metroid Prime is MORE than just that...
For instance, in Halo you slowly find out the purpose of Halo, and the purpose/intent of the index construct.
In Metroid Prime, you slowly find out YOUR PURPOSE, who you are, WHO THE ENEMY IS, how they and yourself came to be, along with the universe and the first case of the "poision" (originally known as twin tabula).
In Halo, there is no lengthy elaboration on how the Spartan IV suit works (as the Space Pirate techs speculate on Samus' suit). There is no encounter of those who know why you exist. There is no detailed information about Halo's "end boss".
Then again, I'd say they're both the same in the sense that the Space Pirates and Covenant both wind up biting off more than they can chew by visiting alien planets they have no business invading...
I wonder who'd win in a face off; Metroids, or Flood? Both can kick Master Chief or Samus' ass in great numbers.
