When it comes to curing the craving for something new from the Metroid series they sure went all out , but which will be the ultimate Metroid when the dust settles? Prime or Fusion???

Yeah, I didn't quite agree with it going first person, but what its lost in platforming, its nearly made up for with extra atmosphere.
I think Grix was right when (and this is going back well over 6 months now) he said "Think of it as a different sort of Metroid game".

It would be nice if they did go back to the traditional style for any future Metroid games though.

It wouldall fit too - seeing as this is meant to be Metroid 0 (so I heard), then it's set before the others - so this can be set before Samus learned how to jump properly! :-D

Because its just a game, and doesn't really matter really?

O.K., how about, people in America have less sex/booze/drugs than Brits and there for more time to play games?

Fusion is better, it is a classic Matroid Game. Usally people who have just played Fusion instead of playing the snse ones get there *** kicked by the game. Metroid id a fantastic seris, but i am not sure about the Gamecube version, they would of been better calling ti something else and putting a different Main Charactor in it and making a new game, it is not a tradional Metroid game, but i too have preordered it just for the hell of it really.

Quoting NGC:

"The best Gamecube game yet!" Also, a score of 96% isn't really that bad is it....

*sigh*

I've already preordered Prime, and will be getting Fusion for Crimbo. I can't really say what's best until I've played them

Well I have never played any of them but I know they are both good. But what was the point in bringing a game that can link up to a game that isn't even out yet?

I've not played the GC version, but it's supposed to be the bo**ocks.

The GBA version is very very good, actually quite tense in places, but not as good as the original SNES version, which was an Earth-shattering classic.

Overall Metroid Prime is better but if you don't like First person go for Metroid Fusion.
