Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Federation Forced
This game has some awkward controls, being timed and scored take away from the enjoyment a bit, and it's geared entirely to roughly toward multiplayer. Playing the single player makes it drag on, the fact that if makes you choose load outs and then weighs you down with them, boosted the modding system and built using them around getting medals in-mission, and, going back to the awkward controls, it starts you off in the gyro aiming, the game is painful. You can switch to Configuration B, which moves everything to the shoulder buttons, and the analogue nub. If your knuckles can handle that, it's a more comfortable control set up then moving your arms around trying to find the enemy. As for the story, it has potential. Even with the gameplay feeling aggravating at worst, phoned in at best, I've only played the first two levels and I'm interested enough in finding out what's going on to keep playing it. So, I wouldn't really recommend this to Metroid fans YET, but it would be a good way to go "Hey, if you liked that, go check all these other BETTER games" and make Metroid have a second coming.

A fun Coop Metroid Spin-off
This games has amazing music, controls and graphics that really pulls you in its atmosphere. It plays and feels like the original Metroid Prime in every way. The variety of missions keeps things fresh

Spin off
If you're a die hard Metroid fan like me, you might have mixed feelings on this one. It's a pretty fun title, that has great sound design, level design, some innovative ideas with the gameplay, and great use of 3D. But something felt off about this title. The art direction when it comes to the characters/enemies are too cartoony for my liking, and this game is definitely better suited if you're playing it with others. Overall its a nice addition to the lore of Metroid, but I don't think it'll win over the masses.
