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

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

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.

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

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 ), 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

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.
