Something tells me you're an x-box fan. Not surprising, given the forum. I'm a huge Halo fan, but that's about my only connection to the x-box. However, I remember getting my original NES about 2-3 days after it launched. My entertainment center currently houses all four generations of Nintendo consoles. That said, I honestly don't know which of the two franchises I prefer: Halo or Metroid. (Well, to correct that last statement, Halo isn't a franchise--yet.) I don't know that they really stand for all that much comparison. I know a lot of people want to do so, given the timing of Halo 2 and Metroid Prime: Echoes. The two games really shouldn't be compared--they're not even in the same genre. You might as well compare Mario with Madden.
But still, if you consider the two lead characters in a straight fight, Gamepro would be correct. Master Chief wouldn't have a prayer. He's outclassed in every catagory, save perhaps raw strength. Samus is faster, more agile, has better technology, more firepower, more experience. MC's only chance would be a melee to the back of Samus's head, and I don't think that likely.
