GoNintendo 'End of Day' thought - Have you written off Metroid Prime: Federation Force?

Very eager to see what the rest of the gaming press has to say about Metroid Prime: Federation Force. I know how I feel, that's for sure! I'll share that with you tomorrow, but right now I'd like to hear from you guys! Check out the feature below and give us some feedback! See you in a few, short hours.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force comes out this Friday. Dear LORD, has it received an absolute beating from the Nintendo fanbase. From the moment it was unveiled, people really dumped on the game. It actually lead to Nintendo disabling thumbs up/down on a large group of trailers for the game. Ever since that initial reveal, it's been an absolutely relentless uphill battle for the game.

While there may be one review out there from Famitsu, the flood gates are really going to open up tomorrow. I guess I should say tomorrow for the West coast, and technically Friday for the East coast. The review embargo is set for 9 PM PT tomorrow, and you can bet that tons of outlets are going to offer up their thoughts on the game. That includes GoNintendo, as I'm just putting the finishing touches on my review right now. We'll be right there at the embargo break to let you know what we think.

The real question is, does it even matter? I mean, I guess you could argue about reviews mattering at all for any game, but it seems like a really important topic to discuss with Metroid Prime: Federation Force. There's been such a vocal group of gamers that really, REALLY don't want anything to do with the game. They made up their mind the day the game was revealed, and they've been pooping on it ever since. How big is that group of people and how serious are they about ignoring the game? I guess we'll all find that out together.

Which group of people do you fall into? Are you waiting to see what the reviews say before you make a purchase, or are you in the camp that is just looking to pile on more hate? Hell, maybe some of you have had day-one purchase plans no matter what! Let us know how you feel about the game and what you plan to do when it comes to picking it up. I'm pretty damn interested to hear your thoughts on this one!
