I heard you purchased Metroid Prime.

So then, are'nt you going to tell us what its like? This is a game I really want a Gamecube for, It looks so frickin amazing! After finding out you can make Samus Aran turn into a ball (in certain parts of levels?) just looks so cool!

Explain yourself.

i would say yes!!
the graphics arent as great as i would have imagined, but going on that i can see why!
they couldnt be super duper due to the huge expanse of the levels!
plus the amount of bullets and blood and people flying about all over the place!

Bullets and blood flying......sounds like my sort of game, gonna have to check it out me thinks.

By any chance have you played Hunter the Reckoning? I'm after a decent co-operative multiplayer and this looks rather tasty in a shallow violent sense.

whoops!!
soz, i posted that before i finished writing it!!

ok, where was i...?..

oh yeah

ok, the levels are huge, adn the enemies are pletniful, also which is helpful, ammo is in abundance!!

the weapons range from pistols to rocket launchers and everything in between!

some times you are left feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer amount of enemies you need to defeat, but if you bear with it you will usually managet o gun them all down!!

my fave part so far has to be the ability to use an enemy as a human shield! you grab them and then yu get 2 choices..
1. hold them tight and let them get the hell shot out of them, or
2. kick them to the floor and blast them in the back of the head with whichever weapon you have!

also, another cool thing is instead of just grabbing them, you can disarm them, press X and youll grab them, press it again and youll do one of any things!
either snap there neck, or use the weapon they hold to take them out, my fave so far is the grab, turn and shoot over your shoulder into there unsuspecting face!!!

amusing to say the least!

overall this has to be the most fun, and violent game i have ever played!
even more so than GTA games!!
yes, i said it!!

THIS GAME HAS MORE MINDLESS AND INSANE VIOLENCE THAN GTA!!!

i have hunter on the Xbox (dont shout please, lol) and i must admit it is a lot of fun!! the gore is nice, and the hack and slash approach win my vote anyday!
the only thing i did have probs with is in multiplayer you get slow down and its not just a tiny bit, its quite noticable, also you are very limited to space, if one player is stuck in a corner surrounded by bad guys and the other player decides to move away player one gets his buttocks kicked in seconds!!

other than that it is a fun, not to challenging and addictive game!
