Metroid Prime: Hunters (Nintendo DS)

Herald rating: * * * *

Pros: Great use of the DS dual screens with the bottom one acting as both radar and a motion pad for controlling your movements, leaving the top screen uncluttered. Good atmospheric scenery gives Metroid the creepiness of Doom. Wi-fi multiplayer action supported.

Cons: Single-player levels get repetitive. Holding the DS eventually cramps your hands on tough missions and adjusting screen sensitivity can be fiddly.

Verdict: A compelling sci-fi adventure that adds substance to the DS when it comes to first-person shooters.

Censor's classification: M
