Never really got into Halo, I played Halo 3 a bit and I wasn't too impressed.I never played any of the 3D Metroid games besides the first one, and it was alright and everything but it feels more at home in 2D, at least to me.

Halo is a decent game. Fun for parties.However, Metroid single player completely blows Halo out of the water. The pure gameplay and level design of Super Metroid and the atmospheric elements of Metroid Prime 1 make them some of my favorite games of all time. Halo is just another casual FPS compared to it.

Though I like Halo more, I think Metroid has better gameplay. Halo is much easier too.

I would have to go with halo even though i still like metroid.Metroid has scarier monsters and gameplay where as halo you can have comrades and is alotmore "fast pace" action involved. But i guess halo the storyline is just a bit better than metroid prims.

I'm going to have to go with Metroid.Halo is ok, but I don't think loving a game spelling a version of disaster about our world and what little hope there is left is an ideal concept to go with.Halo has its ups and downs. I did enjoy the story but not to the extent that Metroid did. I think the variety in weaponry, gadgetry and what not was terrible. It just seemed like another boring FPS, where you shoot, reload, advance non strategically (e.g. run up to the enemy from a 20 metre sprint lol). Halo's impact was initially good, but hype did long ago.Metroid on the other hand has always been good. I'll use Prime to keep the FPS theme intact. Not only could you use variant beams that do different tasks other than 'shoot to kill', you could also scan information of various things, which on a light level of cryptic puzzling worked wonders. Multiple visors altered the spectrum of visibility, giving off a new way to play. The morph ball system, granted another perspective while still remaining fluid to the gameplay. I also enjoyed the unnatural yet natural mix of nature and tech in the environmental scene.You guys should play the Metroid Prime series. It is really good in each game. From what I've heard, Halo and Halo 2 were good but Halo 3 was lacking.
