Teaming up with other players, they’ll take on an assortment of standard mission types ranging from ordinary enemy exterminations to run-of-the-mill escort duty to uninspired stealth sequences. Instead of taking control of the universe’s most renowned and deadliest bounty hunter, Federation Force instead tasks players with strapping on the armored uniform of a nondescript Galactic Marine - with a stubby body and oversized head, to boot. Did the game work? Sure (mostly), but Metroid players aren’t used to functional mediocrity, and that’s exactly what they got with this multiplayer-focused effort. Its back against the wall from the initial reveal of the “Blast Ball” side mode, Metroid Prime: Federation Force earned the ire of franchise fans not only by failing to be the new entry in Samus’ adventures that gamers so craved, but also through ill-conceived design, lackluster gameplay, and bland visuals. Without further ado, here is our ranking of the Metroid series.
#METROID PRIME 1 SERIES#
As we eagerly await the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4, our staff has once again been debating which of the Metroid games is the best and in order to resolve the argument, we decided it was time we rank the entire Metroid series and see how each of the titles stack up when pitted against each other. The series is among the most influential in the medium and ever since Metroid was released way back in 1986, there have been more than a dozen other Metroid games that followed - some successful and others not so much- but games we love no less. Deciding what the best Metroid games are, is no easy task when you have dozens of writers on staff who consider it to be one of their favourite video game franchises of all time.
