THE GOOD: + Superb Graphics + Amazing Storyline + Cool weapons + and suits + Bosses are cool and tough + Puzzles are unique and clever + Screw Attack is back! + Creatures are well designed
THE BAD: - Backtracking - You WILL get stuck - Multiplayer is pretty poor
SUMMARY: Metroid Prime 2, though not better than Prime, is a fanstastic game with gorgeous visuals, a thrilling story and is challenging. This is why you own a Gamecube, becuase this is the god of the Cube. Well, the semi-god. Prime is the god. Anyways, Prime 2 is an amazing game with so much idead packed into the game disc its unbelievable. From the minute you begin to when you complete it, its awesome all the way.
THE GOOD: Alternative control system Beautiful Graphics New abilities Intelligent Enemies Dual world system
THE BAD: Beam Ammo system stifles gameplay slightly Jumping still a little awkward
SUMMARY: The first Prime game did what some may have thought impossible - it transferred the Metroid series into a first person 3D world. More importantly it did it so well that Metroid Prime easily became one of the best game's on the Gamecube. That's an awfully hard act to follow, but Retro have returned with the sequel to that game, subtitled Echoes. This game takes the core mechanics of Prime and adds some new ideas to the mix. Here's the result:
Visuals
Not a lot has really changed between the two Prime games in the visual department. However, that's not really a bad thing, as Metroid Prime was easily a treat for the eyes.
THE GOOD: -Absolutely astounding atmosphere, the sound and graphics are just top notch! -Controls and gameplay style fit the game perfectly -The game has a delicate balance between being fairly challenging and yet quite addictive at the same time
THE BAD: -Multiplayer could have been a little better, more abilities like the screw attack would have been nice
SUMMARY: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the sequel to Metroid Prime (also on the 'cube), is an 'out of this world' experience, it is REALLY amazing. The minute you step out of your ship, into the cave on the planet's surface, the detail just springs to life in your eyes; the plant-life scattered across the cave floor, and the way glimmers of light shine through certain environments in the game, revealing the groups of tiny insects suspended in flight... the way the sounds of your gentle footsteps give life to a silent cave... there is just a great, detailed, realistic atmosphere that...
THE GOOD: Graphics The Same As Metroid Prime (Good, because they are some of the best that the cube has to offer). Decent Story Length. Decent Plot. Loads Of Pick Ups/Upgrades. Lots Of Battles. Lots Of HARD Bosses. Multiplayer (2-4 players, NO BOTS though). 2 New Suits. Two New Beams (Usage of ammo). Good Movie Sequences. NEW VISORS!!!
THE BAD: Ammo Usage. No Bots On Multiplayer. Some Bosses Are WAY To HARD without cheats (Yes I'm A Cheater). Dark Worlds Are Annoying (until you get the light suit), especially when there are no health bubbles around to keep you alive. Space Pirate Battles Make The Doors Lock Every Time You Go Into The Room, And There Often Isn't A Way Around The Room.
SUMMARY: This game is Brilliant, if you're a Metroid fan. I found this game addictive on my first couple of goes on it, sure, the first boss was great (Three big Worms), I never used cheats at all on that boss. The...
THE GOOD: -still great graphics -great booses -great alone music -fun gameplay -finaly multiplayer
THE BAD: -not as hard as Mertroid Prime -not as long as the first
SUMMARY: We all loved the first Metroid Prime, and now Nintendo has made a second one, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Though the metroid franchise was usually third person shooting, it went to first person. First, lets start with the graphics. They were beautiful in the first, and the graphics are still excellent, though the graphics didn't really change from Metroid Prime, they are still very good. In the audio department, the music in the game makes you feel you are alone, no one around. Well, untill a space pirate materializess in front of you, and starts shooting you. Though you won't find shotgun shooting in this game. Metroid Prime 2, is set in the future and you will find missiles and power shots, flying through the air. Now no shooting game wouldn't be complete...
THE GOOD: Music is great! If there's something good about the game, it would really be the music. The music is great in every way.
Da good Graphics. The graphics are super! But only some pieces you can really se of that it's a real picture...
Great Gameplay. The gameplay is fun. you can visit 4 temples in Light AND Dark worlds.
THE BAD: Bad Charge Combo's... The Charge Combo of the power beam and the anhilator beam are good, but the ones from Light and Dark beam are to slow to be usefull...
Don't close that door! At some places, the doors close because of some space pirates. This is really annoying, and everytime you come there, you have to beat them again!
Upgrades... The upgrades are good, yes, but there NOT easy to find... When i finished the game, i only find all of the energy tanks...
SUMMARY: The game is good, it's #5 in my Game ranks, that's why i gave it a 4.6. I know, the game's worth to a 4.7, but i just...
THE BAD: They haven't experimented enough, the game is too easy, and the world is not as big as the previous Metroid Prime
SUMMARY: I loved Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES - also known as Super Famicom).
It was huge, had different music for every part of the world, some brilliant weapons and gadgets, and the backround detail gave depth to a two dimensional world.
It was better than Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2.
Why?
Because it had more variety of environments within the world, more variety of music (music creates half the atmosphere) and it was very interesting to play.
Metroid Prime 2 is lacking in variety, even Metroid Prime had more variety of environments and creatures than this - and I thought it was small and limited.
I feel completely let down by this - It's ok but there has been a distinct lack of effort and much denial in...
THE GOOD: Weapons. Samus has a Dark Side. The planet you're in has a dark side too. It's fully sick.
THE BAD: Some bosses are too easy if you get too many upgrades. Upgrades make the game too easy. I should know. I did. Dark and Light beams have ammo like missiles. Gets a little hard to use at first then it's easy to use. Getting used to controls is like riding a bike. You never forget.
SUMMARY: Lastability: Either 5/10 or 7/10. Less if you get upgrades. More if you rather just get one when you need it. Graphics: 9/10. WOW!!!!! This game's graphics is very good as it's pretty realistic. Sound: 7/10. Yeah, a bit repetitive. Gameplay: 8/10. Same as Metroid Prime, but the two new weapons have ammo like your missiles. Overall: 4.8/5.0. Almost there. Just a little more.
THE GOOD: you still get to see in her mask You get alot of weapons or upgrades The swich bettewn levels is cool to look at. Great colored envierments to see dont lose all upgrades the first one
THE BAD: gets repeative can get lost cant find your why around
SUMMARY: out of this. this has to be one of the best games for the Game cube. great to play with your friends. You get alot of power ups. such as morph ball. the suit is the same as the first one. All ive go to say is to get it and see for you're self. Its like zero mission but in 3-D. Theres alot of good music to listen to. the gun shots sound cool. The cutseens are cool to watch and see. you do have to read every word. thats not really that bad to do. Well all i have to say buy this one a great game to have as a treasure. its $50.00 thats not so bad when you think about it.
THE GOOD: ~Yummy graphics ~Gameplay just as good as the first ~Good storyline ~Starts good ends better ~2 player mode! ~All new ammo system ~Metroids! ~Power beam!
THE BAD: ~Graphics not as good as Resi 4 ~Not enough metroids
SUMMARY: As soon as you start the game the start screen amazes you. You could swivel it around all day! But the start screen isn't the entire game. But when you start the game you really see the gamecube's capabilities. The storm is amazing as Samus crashes too the planet. In the first part of the game you witness Zombies and other weird creatures. All this while seeing those great graphics. Learning the storyline is good as you can understand it. When you get the dark and light beams the game gets harder when you collect ammo to keep going. But the two guns are so close in the game when you actully get them. The enemy AI is excellent and the metroids still suck your face. The game...
