I chose Metroid because the series has much more heritage - going way back to the NES. I think both the Metroid games on GC and Prime3 on the Wii, single player all wipe the floor with Halo. I was very dissapointed to see Metroid3 didn't have online play though:((

I've got to say Metroid regarding story and gameplay. Halo is good, but besides multiplayer, it's only slightly better than average.

I have to say Metroid. Thje only thing Halo has that Metroid doesn't is the multiplayer, take the multiplayer out and it would be just another 007 game set in the future with aliens thats all it is really. Metroid has and excelent story, the gameplay is outstanding and it always finds a way to re-invint itself all the time

I think Halo is pretty much fast-paced and thrilling than metroid, it bores me the exploration of the whole world justo to find an armor piece

meh halo is alright it has a good story but all the games are short and consist of "move forward and kill whats in front of you"Its entertaining, but you can only get the true entertainment out of multiplayer, whether its PvP or CoopMetroid is truly entertaining with a great replay value and the sheer amount of time it takes to find EVERYTHING can only be described as an obsession.Halo is okay, but it will never be a classic like Metroid. 10 years from now people will still be talking about metroid, but halo will be forgotten, lost among some other FPS that will replace it

I don't own an xbox or xbox 360, so this might be a little biased, butI've played all sorts of metroid games, from the 2d ones to the metroid prime series. I'd have to say that metroid is creepier and has better storylines than halo. I've played all three halo's at one point or another, and they ROCK in terms of control scheme and variability. I mean, in metroid you can't really switch weapons other than missiles. Also, I like the halo addition of vehicles. Now if metroid had vehicles, that would be insane. In terms of graphics, the prime series and halo are more or less the same. All in all, i like them about the same, because halo sort of defines the fps, but metroid takes the fps genre and changes it in such a way that its also an adventure game.

Metroid's better for 1-player, but Halo's better because it has multiplayer.

Too true.. I very much enjoy the levels and challenges and also bosses in all the metroid games... I never once disliked them... some part I found difficult, but i got over that. With Halo, however, I found that a bit too simple with various weapons, and a set task with a basic storyline... Not too shabby, but I think Halo could be though through a little more. Metroid? I love it.yah, i second what you say.for metroid its lot more suspense and atmosphere, halo is just..um.......aliens.but thats not saying its bad, i mean, masterchief totally kicks donkey for a women, and the weaponary for halo 2 has been improved upon by A LOT, so in reality, i would say halo 2 is the competition of metroid, not halo 1ps. just a thought...masterchief v samus...cat fight...would would win...

halo had a OK storyline but no background story whatsoever and basicly it was shoot,hide,gernade,run for cover, snipe or whatevermetroid was extremely detailed about story and was not just about shooting and had puzzles and adventure sure halo had vechiles which i must say is awesome but metroid had more varity and had upgrades and the GC metroid prime hunters had good multiplayer

I would have to go Halo on this one, mainly for the storyline. For any game, it has to have a good storyline i like, well not always maybe in the case of flash games and NES games, but a interesting storyline is what i need. I reread all the halo books every year and when another one comes out, if you haven't read them you really should, they provide an awesome background of the whole SPARTAN -II project and some nice prologues and interludes.I also love Halo because it's like a realistic future, Metroid however doesn't have much of a storyline except some vague information on the government and personal quests. Not that i don't love Metroid, God no, i love metroid, both FPS and 2D games.I think the best advantage Metroid has over Halo is being able to upgrade your suit and get new weapons and things, sure you can't really customize anything, but you can upgrade alot of things, i really wish Halo had that, without the awesome storyline Halo would just be a boring shooter to me.So for me it's Storyline vs Gameplay evolving and changing, and i'm sorry Samus, but Master Chief Wins here

I always loved the complexity, creativity, and challenge of the Metroid: Prime series. Though my Halo experience is limited, the difference was quite clear to me and my preference is definitely Metroid prime.
