THE GOOD: + Lovely Graphics + Long game + Cool Creatures + Wicked Music + The beams rock + and so do the suits + Unlockables with Metroid Fusion
THE BAD: - Annoying backtracking - No multiplayer
SUMMARY: Metroid Prime is the best game on the Cube. The environments look like the real thing and the game is as long as it takes you to eat 300000000000000000000000000000000000 burgers. The one thing that also makes this game awesome is its nature. The creatures act like any animal would. They roar, sniff and try to rip your head off. Its wickedly awesome!
The story is when a lone planet, Tallon VI is under attack. A strange creature lies in the Impact Crater and Samus Aran, sexy-kick ass bounty hunter, must destroy what lies within by collecting the 12 Chozo Artifacts. These are keys needed to enter the Impact Crater. Lets talk about the good stuff. The graphics, oh, the graphics. This game is the...
THE GOOD: -Gorgeous graphics -Flawless gameplay -Easy controls -Perfect difficulty -Good lifespan -Brilliant music score
SUMMARY: Metroid prime is the biggest jump the metroid series has ever made, from 2D to 3D enviroments, we haven't seen a metroid game for one whole generation of gaming and now Nintendo have seen the perfect time to unsleash their wild card.
You take on the role of Samus aran, an intergalactic bounty hunter, a woman who lost her parents at the age f three and now works for the federation. You have received a distress call and have to investigate the origin of it. The distress signal came from a space frigate above the planet Taloon VI, where you land to investigate. The first things you notice are the graphics, arguably the best of their generation with gorgeous textures and lovely lighting effects. For the first ten minutes the game holds your hand telling you the controls and helping you get used to...
THE GOOD: -Fun gameplay -Outstanding graphics -Well mapped-controls -Fun to explore -Enemies aren't all aggressive -Many things too find
THE BAD: -Not much of a story -Not any text or dialogue -Have to stop to manually aim -Not much given to you for replay value
SUMMARY: -Graphics The graphics in this game are outstanding. They really help classify the Gamecube because there's not many games with decent graphics out there on the GCN. The environments are very detailed and the enemies look aren't all aggressive instead more like animals are here on earth. -Sound The sound for Metroid has always been excellent because it gives off that sc-fi feeling. Plus its just really great and fun to listen too. The sound effects in this game are pretty good as well. Though this isn't too bad there's no voice acting, or anything to read either because there's no one for Samus to talk too. What Nintendo...
THE GOOD: -Graphics are amazing
-Enviornments are very organic
-Animations are quite nice
-Controls are easy
-Areas are huge
-Nice artwork and level design
-Nice upgrades
THE BAD: -There is a slowdown when there is a lot of action and you are changing your arm cannon
-At some point it gets repetetive
-Too much backtracking, you want to explore different envionments but it seems you are going to the same one over and over again
SUMMARY: It has been a while since we got to play as the bounty hunter, Samus Aran. But, with the help of Retro Studios, and Nintendo, they have brought the hunter back to its former glory. Metroid Prime, at the beginning, you get sent to a distrest signal from a spaceship that seems to be destroyed by some unknown thing. If you know space pirates then you know the enemy. The pirates are using phazon to do horrible experiments, hence the first (not really) boss. Ok...
THE GOOD: Umm, well, it's a challenge. Enemies and Bosses look pretty cool. Areas are fully sick.
THE BAD: Hmmm, well, there's the matter of some bosses being too easy. There isn't much talking. Otherwise, nothing really.
SUMMARY: Lastability: 9/10. Good amount of sidequests to keep you going. Plus, check out how long the game is. Graphics: 9/10. Man, you don't want this on PS2 otherwise it'll kill the graphics. On XBox and you'll kill the graphics even worse. More 3-D than 3-D. Sound: 7/10. There really should be talking in the game. Otherwise, it's like life. Jumping, bullets and little buzzing noises the War Wasps make. Gameplay: 10/10. Man, buy this game, screw the others and erase all the crappy data from your memory card and let this game play. Overall: 4.7. I really hope Metroid Prime 2 gets even 0.1 over that score, which I doubt.
THE GOOD: Fun gameplay, cool story, fun to use weapons, graphics are top-notch, and its just.. fun.
THE BAD: Some parts of the game can get a bit on the hard side, whereas some of the bosses were a bit too easy.
SUMMARY: Metroid Prime is an excellent game. Personally, I wouldnt ever say something like that about a FPS game, but this one is different. First of all, the story is pretty interesting as you land on a planet and well, you go through it and I wont really spoil anything else. The gameplay is fun and the controls are quite easy to use. That is very important for a shooting game because if you have really senseless controls, then it will be impossible to play the game unless you have a good bit of patience. But you wont have to worry about that when it comes to MP. The way that they present the different areas that you have to go is also a pretty interesting way of making the game, as it just makes it more adventurous. May I...
THE GOOD: The graphics are so damn good. The game is very very long.
THE BAD: Can get a bit frustrating at times. No multi-player.
SUMMARY: Metroid Prime is the first Metroid game taht they have made in a while but i have to say it made a really good impression to new players who want to start the series. The graphics on this game are awesome and probably the best i have seen so far for the Gamecube. The plot to the storyline is a really neat idea and playing through the storyline itself is even better. The game is really long and has a lot of secrets and suprises in, including a full length game of the original metroid if you happen to have Metroid Fusion on Gameboy Advance. There are a few down-sides to the game, there is no multi-player mode so you cannot blast eachother to bits in a different mode and the puzzles can get a little too hard sometimes which can frustrate you alot.
Overall this is the best Metroid game that they...
THE GOOD: Superb Graphics way better than PS2 FPS games but very closer enough to X-box's Halo graphics, playable, nice weapons and another things what Metroid Prime offered...Samus is very goregous in her space suit but it would be nice what she look like without it hehehehe
THE BAD: Too easy bosses, no point about a plot this game brought, and a short game
SUMMARY: First time I grab a controller to play Metroid Prime that I never play any previous Metroid games before \ Gamecube, first thing what impressed me is graphically, but its kind of confusing at first because of advance technology Metriod Prime has where u playing.. U will get used to it afterward and the control is not bad but above than average trust me u will be fine once u play for an hour or so. Its take a while to understand what to be like Samus and her point of a view to be in this game because of lack of a story plot and u r sort of figure it out by yourself what this all...
It has been a painful and long wait since Super Metroid made its splash on the Snes 8 years ago. In that time much has happened, notably Nintendo successfully translated their star franchises Mario and Zelda to 3d. This is no small feat either. I can hardly think of any other 16 bit character, or series which is an action/adventure that successfully made the leap in the stellar way Mario and Zelda did. Fast forward to 2002. Metroid Prime is the product of NCL's protean genious. They get some First Person Shooter aces from Texas, the sorts who have experience with games like DOOM and HALF LIFE. Then they train them in the mysterious ways of action adventure gameplay. The result, of course, is a 'First Person Adventure'. And thankfully for all of us Metroid is a perfect game concept. So, with such a stellar project on their hands it's good to know Retro not only met, but they far exceeded even the most jaded of pundits expectations. For months leading up to this games release the...
THE GOOD: The best bit of the game is definately the beginning where you see samus in 3.D. Another thing that made the game what it is was seeing all the bosses and enemies in 3.D especially the metroids sand what a smart move making new types.
THE BAD: The worst bit of the game had to be the backtracking. This made the game not as perfect as it could have been. Also not having the screw attack and speed booster. when you complite the game and you think youve done well only to be blown away with less than 100% rate at log book and collecting items.
SUMMARY: one of the ...wait no THE best game i've ever played the bosses were about medium difficulty. i dont know what every one was moaning about omega pirate and meta-ridley being hard. they were good matches but i beat them 1st try. but metroid prime is the hardest game boss i've ever seen.
