RE4, its more accessible than MPH and it has mercenaries which is a great extra. I couldnt get into MPH because it had no soul, imo.

RE4 would also be my favourite. I'm not really a fan of the gore, but the gameplay mechanics are awesome and the story gets the job done! MP is a little overrated in my opinion.. just too much backtracking and no real sense of "I want to continue to see how the story develops", I still have to finish that game.....
Some people compare MP to Zelda, but zelda is far more diverse and story-driven.....

Metroid Prime for me. Just look at the score! It's the atmospheric game I've ever played. Not too mention intense, epic boss fights and challenging puzzles.

There's no doubt that they're my two top games of last generation, but I have to give the edge to Metroid Prime. I may not have beaten it 12 times like RE4 and it doesn't have an addicting side game like The Mercenaries, but it was simply the more memorable experience. It was amazing how they succeeded at shifting Metroid to 3D, so it deserves huge props for that. It is probably the most atmospheric game I've ever played, the music is top notch, the adventuring is brilliant and all of the areas are expertly designed, and the boss fights are definitely first class.

re4 is quick and fun that should keep you hocked (great fun whacking bullets in to the heads of those villegers haha) and metroid prime has amazing graphics but be warned this game is like one big memory game meaning you would have to remember a lot of things like where items are or what that new item you gained can be used, otherwise you may find it tough and time consuming going through every nook and cranny at the end in order to gain 100%, but get over this and it's a top game with cool boss fights.

Its a hard pick. When I bought Metroid Prime on the day it came out, I HATED IT. It was just terrible to me. Controls were primitive, classic metroid conventions were hardly used and it just didnt have that "metroid" feel to it. So after about 2 hours of playing it, I just put it back int eh box and put it on the shelf, now 5 years later I picked up the game again last night and am really loving it. It takes a ton of time to get used to the primitive controls, graphics are pretty good to today's standards and the levels as well as the metroid is somewhat there, just not as much as I wanted. I guess when I thought of a metroid game, I wanted another Super Metroid or a Super Metroid experience wrapped into an FPS. But if you take the game at face value for what it is, its actually really good. So at this point, I cant choose. A week ago I would have told you RE4 hands down, but now give me a week or two to beat the game and I will get back to you.

I'd go with Metroid Prime. Although RE4 is one of my favorite games, Metroid prime just felt so atmospheric, and the sounds is like no other. The sense of exploration was great and Samus has never looked so cool. This game probably had some of the most intense boss fights next to the Zelda games. Definately an instant classic.

Resident Evil 4 on the other hand was a great game, with some memorable locations, but it was really short. Although it was short, I beat it 3 times since it was that good. Then theres the mercenaries option which was also pretty fun.

Overall, I'd reccomend MP

After playing both I'd say Metroid prime. I beat RE4 about 3 times but went through Metroid prime at least 10 to 12 times. Its that great. I've played it to the point where i can beat the game in 6 hours with 98% items

Metroid. Because RE4 is the easiest game I've ever played. And it's like 6 hours long. Plus there is only one cool level in the game.

The two games are incredible. If they are indeed expensive, think about what you really want what kind of gamer you are.

Story : it's different, but the two games have a good story. I prefer following the RE4 one though.

Atmosphere : Metroid has a very unique atmosphere, but RE4 isn't far behind.

Music : advantage to Metroid.

Enemies : RE4 enemies are a LOT of fun to kill.

The weapons : the different nature of the guns in RE4 makes it possible to just develop your own way of playing and killing enemies. But the weapons in Metroid are also great. It's just that they're not as different.

Main character : Leon or Samus? Both are cool, just pick the one you like.

Replay value : well, this is just my experience, but I played Metroid Prime once in the last year and RE4 three times. And most people I know did pretty much the same thing, so...

I hope this helps you a bit.

Just buy both of them.  Metroid is a good one if you want to sit down and just beat it.  I find that I get hooked, but if I stop playing for a couple days, I don't feel like picking it up again for a while.  But I would still urge you to get both.  They are the best games on the cube.

I would have no idea. Both are probably the best games you could get for GC. I'm playing RE 4 right now and I can see why it got such a high score. But I still think you should get Metroid Prime first because if you have previous Metroid games, then you'll be highly impressed with the changes from 2D to 3D. Also, you are more likely to find it. I had heaps of problems trying to find RE 4 and I still see a lot of copies of Metroid Prime for cheap.

Your best bet is to save up for both games brotherman!! I beat both MP and RE4 and loved them both. It's definitly worth your money, though if you HAVE TO, MUST, CAN ONLY, purchase ONE SINGLE GAME, then i'd say get RE4 since it's the safer bet. MP seems to be either you love it or hate it kind of experience.

Insanely hard choice....along with the two Zeldas, they are most likey the best GC games available. Both VERY atmospheric (with Prime a bit more), both have great gameplay (RE4 slightly better), and GREAT artistic style in their graphics. Boss fights are great for both (though RE4's tend to be a bit easier) and while there is a bit more action and less reading in RE4, (assuming you actually read the scannable parts in Prime), for most it doesn't bog down the action. Honestly though, I can't pick between the two, they are too close. I'd get both if possible, but if not, then go for the currently cheaper one (which would be a used copy of Prime) and pick up RE4 later on.... both brillant games.

Metroid Prime, the game is among the most perfect games yet created.

RE4 closely matches Prime after the first 2 Chapters, but those initial Chapters were merely average, punctuated with a few brilliant moments.

But a game has to be great all the way through to match Metroid Prime, the best game of last generation, bar none.

IMO RE4 was the 4rd best last generation with the PC version of Half-Life 2 being 2nd and Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn being 3rd best.

Metroid Prime seems to me to have the unprecedented distinction (for a non-RPG sp game) of getting better and better with each playthrough, despite not changing anything! I believe this is a direct result of Retro's incredible attention to detail and level (area)design. A Masterpiece that I will enjoy replaying 10 years from now.

It's a pretty hard to decide. I just recently bought RE4 this weekend(thank you Target!! There was only one copy left!!) and still playing it. I bought Metroid Prime when the Gamecube came out. It was pretty good, the graphics were so nice compare to the other games back then, and still, and the story line was excellent as well, but that was a while ago. For now I recommend Metroid Prime, since I haven't completly beat RE4.

I wouldn't even choose Resident Evil 4 out of the Resident Evil games........RE:zero and REmake were both much better.

As for a comparison to Metroid Prime....there really isn't one.  Metroid Prime with no question about it.

I think it depends on how much time you have to spend on the game.  If you have plenty of free time, and are willing to engross yourself in long gaming sessions, I'd say Metroid is your best bet.  Don't get me wrong, Metroid Prime can be extremely frustrating sometimes, but beating the bosses is so satisfying and I always wanted more.  Its unfortunate but a lot of people give up on Metroid Prime because it's too challanging for them and they won't take the time to fully explore the enviorments.  If you can get past that, Metroid Prime is an extremely satisfying game.  Also if you hate the fact that you can scan creatures then don't.  If you want to fully complete the game like me then go ahead, but the game is just as fun without the chore of making sure you get every scan.  If you do want to be a completionist, be careful because it's really freaking easy to pass up a scan if you don't do it right away.

RE4 is the better choice.
