Scurge: Hive

"Scurge: Hive is a fantastic game, there's no question about it. But which one should gamers buy? Both games are great, but the GBA version really stands out. The graphics are stronger, and the price is cheaper. If players really want that map on the bottom screen, then by all means, go for the DS version. Even with the less polished graphics, Scurge: Hive is an excellent buy."

"Obviously, a game that borrows so heavily from another series isn't the most creative game in the world, but the elements are incorporated so well that I cannot in good conscience penalize the game's creativity score too much on account of that. The game is quite lengthy too. Any Metroid fan would be very wise to give this game a try, as it might be able to fill some of those long days between now and the time when Metroid Prime 3 comes out."

"Scurge: Hive is a solid action adventure with a slick presentation that should appeal to anyone who enjoys the Metroid style of play."

"With such a mixed bag of quality in its possession, Scurge: Hive comes off as a decent game with a wide amount of room for improvement."
