Hi i know which one i pick but it was Really tough. To me zelda: twilight Princess is a really great game to me it better then metroid has action fighting stuff but metroid has like Loads of Quests and bosses where as in zelda there not like a MAIN quest. metroid is a great game too cause there loads of enemies (new or old) and i really like Weapons and abilities he gets (I.E: when she turns into a ball). final fantasy 12 a good Game too lot of Action and Characters but except like A main Quests there like Little Objectives to do and you get loads of weapons and stuff and there loads of games of it (like zelda) but if i had to pick THE best to me it has to be....zelda. i let you guys decide though

Metroid has a main quest, it's just that it isn't done with cut scenes. You have to scan the different logs and piece together what happened; the story is told more as a first person narrative as opposed to third person.

Those are all good games, but you might want to be specific about which ones you are asking about. Zelda; Wind Waker or Twighlight Princess, Metroid Prime 1, 2, or 3, or perhaps a GBA one, and there are many many Final Fantasy titles of varying quality so it's difficult to say on that either.

I feel it necessary to point out that Samus is female; always has been. Girls kick ass!

oops meant to be she sorry

Zelda: Traditional
Final Fantasy: Lately
Metroid: I have a craving to play through the Prime trilogy

so which one?

Twilight Princess will take you about 50 hours.

If you haven't played them yet, the three Metroid Prime games are great.

Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy, if you feel the 'itch' then go for it. But I would play the Prime games. FF XII is supposed to be solid, their team keeps getting better with the years.

I love the Zelda franchise, I think its the best one ever created. Sadly I have gotten out of console gaming and strictly play PC games now. Also I did not like the new control system for the nintendo Wii. I felt like I was getting old cause my little brother and his friends all loved the wireles thing with almost no buttons.

well, you can still paly Twilight Princes on gamecube if you need more buttons, but it still plays superb on wii.

I recently fnished Metroid Prime 3, it was great game with fantastic atmosphere, but just like with the first two games, I found to ending to be a bit....too not climatic. more like, why hello final boss, well bye final boss, it was nice knowing you-credits. end.

but I still have the strong urge to build 40k scale metroids. anyone got any ideas?


I'm also a big final fantsay fan, but I never found a better one then part 7. the story an world is just great.

I dont really understsand the hype with final fantasy. I like games what involve a lot o f button pushing and dodging/jumping/weaving to avoid danger, etc. I hated final fantasy. You would select, attack/steal etc. There was no game play. I hated that it would cut away and limit what you could do. I really involves almost no skill. I was breezing through and figured it was just no challenge and not very fun or interactive.

well, personally, I never played final fantasy games for the gameplay, but for the story.
