Multi-player is a strong point in this game. Wi-Fi can be either very fun or very difficult. My first time playing on Wi-Fi got me 13 deaths and zero kills. It's clear that I lost. This wasn't just a mindless FPS game. But if you're skilled enough, Wi-Fi matches can go on forever. Constantly collecting health and more power-ups throughout the multiplayer matches can give you the lead in a match - and you will need it!

Online Wi-Fi has you playing against local/worldwide players who are either on your rank or just random players. If you are playing against random people, the only available online mode is deathmatch. You can choose one of seven bounty hunters to play as. Levels will be chosen by voting. The majority of votes will determine the location you will play.

If you decide to play against your friends or rivals, you have more modes open to you. Multi-card play also has more modes. The only downside to single-card play is the fact that all of your friends have to play as Samus, and you can only play "Battle" mode.

The multiplayer even has voice and a touch screen keyboard to talk to your friends in the lobby.

Something very neat about the multiplayer game play is the rival radar. You can turn this option on and walk around with your DS on sleep mode. Anyone else who you come in contact with that has their rival radar on will be added to your DS rival list, so you can have more friend codes on your roster.

Metroid Prime: Hunters is a fine example of how to make one genre of game work well on a console it's not meant for, and is one of the biggest accomplishments lately for a handheld. The multi-player is also a big step up for Nintendo Wi-Fi games thanks to the voice chat and communication. Overall, this game is a solid DS title, one you will not want to miss.

Metroid Prime: Hunters is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Animated Blood and Violence.
