This game is the best game available now,for any system. All you people who diss it are either Cube-haters, stupid, or haven't played it. The sound track on this game is excellent. Especially the music when fighting Metroid Prime's first form, if you have a sub-woofer. The graphics are out of this world. They outperform any game on any console. I don'tknow how, but they do. The framerate runs at a dazzaling 60 frames per second, with no slowdown, ever. And there are no annoying loading and wait times during this game either. This game is the best game for the Gamecube, and Zelda will have to work extremely hrd if it want's to beat it. Don't miss this one. This game alone is worth the price of a Gamecube. It's like the best game from 3 years in the future fell through a time warp. Buy it now.

Learning the controls is not hard.

This Game is the Best Game I've ever played Hands Down. The story is tight the graphics are sweet and the gameplay is flawless. To those people worried about all those reviews saying the controls are hard to pick up don't listen to them. Judge for yourself practice makes perfect it took me less than 15 mins. to pick up all the different moves you'll need to do. This is the first gaming system i've bought since the old NES let me just say I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pick up the controls
the controlers are more intimidating than the old 5 button NES controlers. With a little work you'll be playing Metroid like a pro. DON'T GIVE UP

go samus!

One Side of the Piramid

I bought Metroid Prime when it first came out. I thought it would be the best game so far. The game is like a half-life game, with a tint of sci-fi. The beginning isn't good, as you go, the game becomes what you want it to be. I chose the left side of the piramid.

WOW

To start off, I have to admit that I thought the switch from 2D to 3D Metroid wouldn't work well. I was wrong in all my fears. This game is simply amazing. The graphics are smooth, well rendered, not blocky (they stopped using polygons finally :) ), and there is no slowdown in framerate even in the fiercest of battles. It is so well done, it almost looks like it could be real. The music is perfect for each level, and never gets annoying. The music is actually key in some areas as it can designate something about to happen. The sounds are well done, with every little sound from rain falling to electronic static in your suit. On top of all that, Metroid Prime supports Dolby Prologic II Surround sound. The controls are the only downfall to this game. It can be difficult to target enemies at frist, but after 30-60 min, it becomes almost second nature. But even so, after 10 hours into the game, you will still be firing missles when you try to bring up the map. Although it is a little awkward, the controls are fairly easy to pick up as you usually get another upgrade after you've perfected the current upgrade.
The gameplay is simply excellent. Definately a well written story line. It is supposed to take place just after the first Metroid game, after you've killed Ridley, Kraid, and Mother Brain. Samus has discovered that the Space Pirates have begun to regroup on the nearby planet of Talon IV. When she arrives at the orbiting pirate firgate, she finds it nearly deserted and sees evidence of the pirates mutating creatures using a substance known as Phazon. After exploring the ship and fighting the boss, samus gets knocked back and loses nearly all her current upgrades. She then heads down to the surface, which is where the story really begins. While on the surface battling your way through the levels, you must find both upgrades to your suit (visors, weapons, morph ball, etc) and ancient artifacts to unravel the mystery of the Chozo and the Phazon. To get through the levels and defeat the bosses, you will have to solve "puzzles" such as opening three doors within a time limit making this similar to tomb raider.
Now, I know some of you are worried about the Morph ball. It is somewhat difficult to control, but you will get used to it. When you switch to morph ball mode, it brings you out to a 3rd person view so you can see the morph ball and most of your surroundings.
How long does this game take? Quite a long time. As in the 2D metroid games, there is quite a bit of backtracking involved. You will end up going through each area multiple times as you can reach new places with almost every upgrade your suit receives.
Metroid fans will love this new addition to the series as well as newcomers. I reccommend you stop worrying about the controls and just go buy this game!

Just hearing the tune as You begin the game, and the familiar music ringing in my ears was all i needed to know i'd love the game! With awsome graphics and a deep storyline that grows with the game this is worthy to be part of the Metroid Legacy!!

Rent, don't buy. Boring. Mean-spirited, decayed.

1. I didn't like the idea of a female character.
2. Rolls up into a what?
3. Every enemy is killed with sidestep-fire, sidestep-fire.

Looked cool. Not too much beneath the paint. Tedious, evil, ugly monsters to the left and to the right in great abundance, some stuff that looks like fungus on the ceiling... it's not just another shoot-em-up, it's another shoot-everything-in-sight-two-or-three times games.

In a word, it was a boring game. I'm sorry I bought it when it was new and that I paid full price for it. Animal Crossing has a far, far greater play value.

Ugly, jaded, sad, disspirited -- I did not like Metroid Prime.
