This game takes the ''Metroid Prime'' formula and alters it to bring closer to a standard first-person shooter. There is more of a focus on fighting enemies then other games. Instead of collecting power-ups, Samus starts the game off with basic abilities such as the [[Arm Cannon]] and [[Morph Ball]]. The six other bounty hunters also appear throughout the game as recurring enemies. Each bounty hunter specializes in their own type of weaponry and has an alternate form, with these being counterparts to Samus's Arm Cannon and Morph Ball, respectively. Samus can acquire the enemy's weapons at different points in the game.

There are four worlds to explore in ''Hunters'', with each planet containing two Octoliths.  Obtaining one Obolith causes security alarms to activate, at which point Samus must return to the ship.

Besides [[Samus Aran]], there are six other bounty hunters searching for ultimate power.  They are:  [[Trace]], [[Noxus]], [[Sylux]], [[Spire]], [[Kanden]], and [[Weavel]].  Each bounty hunter specializes in their own type of weaponry, which Samus does acquire in game.

This game has a multiplayer mode that has Single-Card Play as well as the capability of multiple people playing with their own game cards. Games could also be played over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which makes this the first ''Metroid'' game with online multiplayer. An option called the Rival Radar also made it easier for people within range of each other to add each other to their respective rival rosters without need for friend codes. These modes allowed two to four players (with the option of CPU enemies filling in blank slots) to fight each other, and characters could play as any of the seven hunters from the game.

There are four worlds to explore in Hunters.  Each planet contains two Octoliths.  You first visit the Celestial Archives, a base made up mainly of Data Shrines.  There you fight your first rival bounty hunter.  From there, you can visit Alinos, the Fire-based planet, the Vesper Defense Outpost (VDO), a base dedicated to technology and weaponry, or Arcterra, the Ice-based planet.  Please note the after clearing your first task at the Celestial Archives, your ship will scan the Alimbic Cluster to confirm nearby planets.  Only Alinos will be visible, but once Alinos is cleared for the first time, the remaining two worlds are discovered.  After obtaining one Octolith, you will be timed to get back to your ship, as the security alarms have been activated.

There is a multiplayer mode.  In fact, you have three options.  You can battle a friend using the Single-Card Play, or you can battle more friends when each friend has a Metroid Prime: Hunters game card.  Or you can battle people over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi]] connection.  There is also an option called Rival Radar.  After utilizing this function, you can close your DS.  When you come into contact with another person in the surrounding area also utilizing the Rival Radar function, you each will add each other to your rival roster.

Canonically it is followed by ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', but the next game to actually be released was ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. ''Corruption'' notably also featured rival bounty hunters, although they were all new characters. The good ending of ''Corruption'' also teased the return of Sylux, but it has not been followed up on.
