Decent game but too bad it didn't sell anywhere near like the Halo franchise. With decent games like this you wonder why Nintendo went down.
Awsome Graphics!!! But tooooo hard.

Metriod Prime - Circa 2003
GOOD:
- Beautifully detailed world and environments
- Unique gameplay style
BAD:
- Exploring in first person is not for everyone
- Gameplay is not a traditional first Person Shooter, which may turn off some
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- A Sci-Fi / Exploratory first person shooter
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Metriod Prime: Echoes
- Halo
- Super Metriod
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Believe it or not this games story takes place after the original Metroid but before Metriod II: The Return of Samus (from the Game Boy)
- Using the Game Boy Advance link cable you can "link-up" this game and the Game Boy Advance game Metriod Fusion, Note if you beat Metriod Prime you can unlock an art gallery in Metriod Fusion, if you beat Metriod Fusion you can unlock the original Metroid (from NES) in Metriod Prime
- Scanning thing in the game not only gives you background information but helps unlock an art gallery in the game
Good but bad controls

Metroid fans will definitley get a kick out of this, but other people, might not. The thing in Prime is that it's a FPS, but they don't use both of the analog sticks! Hello?! FPS?! To aim up, I'll just hold the "R" Trigger and move it. And You can't change that! Although the graphics are nice, it's very easy to get lost in the forest like areas. The game is fun, but sometimes the fun will be killed because of the controls.
Really good metroid game

This game is very fun to play if u like shooting adventure games.
Its one of the best. All the sweet weapons are there, so u wont miss a thing. The only draw back 4 me is the 1st person mode.
I dont really like that but if u curl into a ball its 3rd person. (-: If u like this stuff buy it. (-:
Lives up to the hype

I got the game today and all i can say is WOW! The graphics are amazing and the sound is unreal. The controls are a little wierd but once you get used to them they are good. I definatly would recommend the game to older EXPERENCED gamers. I can see younger children getting fustrated at things that they couldnt figure out and trust me there are plenty of difficult puzzles to figure out. Overall i give the game: graphics 10/10, sound 10/10, controls 8/10, difficulty 9/10, and replay value 9/10.
The series that keeps getting better and better

Like almost everyone else thats ever played the Metroid series, I was very concerned about transfering it to 3-d. Thankfully Nintendo and Retro pulled it off. This is one amazing game and every good thing you've heard about it is true. I have vivid memories of playing Super Metroid on my Super Nes and I'm very glad they didn't let me down! This was well worth the wait and I hope it gets all the acclaim it deserves.
dam hard, dam good

ok, the game may b a 1st person metroid game(strange at 1st) but if you manage to defeat an old "pal" and the game itself(think about it, what is it called), you get a cutscene with an unexpected cutscene if you got every permanent pickup and scanned every logbook entry. another bonus is, you can see the fusion suit in 3D(on a lift, you may notice that the helmet is sort of padded) and play the original metroid(but with reverse jump/fire controls). the game starts off slow and kind of boring, but the rating becomes clear later on, ghosts coming at you from every compass point, that missile ammo you need just out of reach, etc. If it has taken you more than 20 hours and you still havent finished, then you should probably quit tho, it took me just over 17 hours, and THAT has to say something. as some1 else said, if you forget a HIGHLY obvious item at some stage late in the game, then you are totally stuffed! the pickups really help. i highly recommend this for ameteurs(any age, the rating is there just to back nintendo up if a kid has nightmares night after night about being attacked by chozo ghosts) or for metroid fans. superb graphics, extreme enemies and bosses, and a great end sequence if you get 100%. get it.

This game looks great but looks almost like star wars republic commando (I.E. getting stuff splattered on your visor and the helm veiw) to me the differences are that you are alone but in star wars republic commando, you fight among three other guys. Plus this game came out earlier and is only for gamecube, while starwars republic commando is for Xbox and PC. I would reccomend this game to Samus fans out there.
an interesting game but i'm confused about it!!!
