    Metroid Prime: Federation Force is not only the best FPS on the 3DS, but perhaps one of my favorite FPS games ever.

    Despite the undue hate it has been subjected to over the past year, Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a very impressive, polished and playable package - the only real grumble we have is that during online play the lack of voice chat can become maddening, and the game's built-in chat function is an inadequate substitute.

    Metroid Prime: Federation Force succeeds at carving out its own identity, but loses a few elements in translation. It’s still Metroid at its core but lacks the masterful execution that the series is known for.

    Metroid Prime: Federation Force is an ambitious production. It's a solid and fun co-op FPS, but is shamelessly multiplayer-oriented. Is it a true Metroid? We're not sure.

    It may not be the type of game nearly all Metroid fans desperately want, and it may go ignored due to that, but Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a great example of not only how to make FPS work on the 3DS, but how to successfully do co-operative mission-based multiplayer.

    Its biggest problem? The three planets are different enough (ice, desert, and gas), but the missions within aren't.

    There is a core idea here that could’ve worked, but Metroid Prime: Federation Force is nothing short of a disaster due to horribly thought out implementation and shoddy execution.

Well, you did ask for "anything". Federation Force feels like a cruel joke, both in the fact that it gave the fans exactly what they asked for while not being what they wanted, and that it's actually not a bad game at all. Heck, it's actually slightly good, even if massively flawed. While it is slow and clunky, something about it was kinda enjoyable, and it's obvious that there was a good amount of effort put into it. It's just a shame that it wasn't what anyone really wanted.… Expand
