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

It may not be the Metroid game many expected, but it's a satisfying experience to play in company, and it makes us see the Metroid universe from a new and interesting point of view.

I don't have the full game but I enjoyed the demo, except the amiibo support.

I'm going to honest. I was skeptical of this game at first. That all changed when I started up. I pulled out my handy dandy 3DS and inserted what is probably the most beautiful looking cartridge since Pokémon Yellow. As I clicked to start game, a vision came to me. Chuck Norris and Luke Skywalker were in that ghost form you see in Star Wars. They told telepathically (they used the force) that this game would be the pinnacle of human achievement. I go to the start screen and my 3DS exploded from the pure awesomeness of this game. So I went outside and put a Master Chief custom on and kicked a ball in a net. Needless to say I've been hooked and haven't encountered something so beautiful. The story is just pure awesomeness (think Ocarina of Time), the graphics are amazing (think Horizon), and the soundtrack is something that will never be replicated again. More importantly, the cover is cool. 10/10 played soccer.

Federation Force is a very fun cooperative shooter, it has solid design on its levels, a lot of strategy with the mod system and plenty of content if you don't have problems with the controls. The game is not well-balanced when you play solo, but at the end of the day it's better than we expected.

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.

Federation Force isn’t bad — especially when you factor in Blast Ball — but it’s not going to fill the hunger felt by most franchise fans. It doesn’t work as a single-player offering, and those who want to play with friends will need to exert ridiculous levels of willpower and patience to get games in. If you’re willing to give it a go with mates, synch things up ahead of time for the least amount of stress.

Metroid Prime Federation Force can be fun in multiplayer, but it still has big flaws and will certainly disappoint Metroid fans.

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.

From the studio that brought us the amazing Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon! I absolutely love this game. Each mission is totally different and they are usually best completed with coordinated cooperation. My brother and I had a blast! It's possible to play by yourself but it's definitely best playing online with friends or strangers. There is lots of hidden loot and an upgrade system that will keep you coming back to the stages. And this game has the best online system of any Nintendo game (admittedly not much of an accomplishment). There is an actual lobby system and drop in/drop out multiplayer. The cartoony design is really fun and perfect for the hardware. My only gripe is the the movement is a little on the slow side but the side dash helps. Blastball is icing on the cake: A soccer FPS in the vein of Rocket League. Warning! It's a spin-off so don't get upset that you can't play as Samus. But she does make an appearance!

Si on est totalement objectif avec ce jeu, si on en oublie son nom "METROID PRIME" et qu'on le prend comme étant un jeu a part, il est vraiment bon, l'ambiance sonore et visuel est très bonne et sur NEW 3DS le jeu est vraiment intéressant !

Well made video game on gameplay and the FPS , but still it doesn’t feel like Metroid game .

Federation Force is generic, repetitive and uninspired. It lacks the isolation and dark atmosphere that the franchise is known for and artistically it's the complete opposite of what you would expect from a Metroid title.

It barely has anything to do with metroid besides a few times they mention samus, why did they even call this metroid prime? Why didn't they call it "don't buy this game, it's **** federation force"
