While there is a lot of eye candy to this game. All the efforts that went into this game will go to waste. The reason is because this game will not sell. While Metroid is a well known name amongst nintendo fans, it is hardly regconized by the rest of the gaming community. Next to halo, this is pathetic, considering the amount of time metroid has had to establish its name. Nintendo's marketing sucks. I hate their commercials. They are too weird for most viewers. The commercials make me not want to buy the games, less play it. There is no buzz around this game. Not even with nintendo owners. This will be the start of the downfall of nintendo. This game will not be seen by many gamers. It will not out sell halo or gta. This game and zelda will likely be the last great games produced by nintendo, unless revolution does well (not likely). So, if you want to play a great game, buy Metroid Prime 2. There won't be too many more oppertunities in the future for a great game like this one.

I hope this game will be better than the first

I own one of the Metroid games for the Game Boy Adv and I enjoyed playing it, so when I bought the Game Cube and saw Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, I figured that would be fun too. Well it was at the beginning, that is until I reached the first boss level.

I cannot get past this level at all! For those who play first person shooters all the time, this boss is probably easy to beat. But for people like me, who don't play all the time or prefer adventure/platform games, this is VERY frustrating! Not only do you have to shoot about six creatures called "splinters" who don't die easy, after you kill them, a larger one comes down to take their place. You have to scan the large splinter, which leaves you absolutely vulnerable, because if you don't you won't be able to progress through the game. And even though it pauses while it's downloading the info into your visor, once that's through the large splinter completes it's attack, inflicting huge amounts of damage!

Once you destroy this large splinter, another one will take it's place called the "dark splinter." Mind you, you are trapped in a cage and CANNOT run away and there's nothing to jump behind! And these enemies come one after another so there's no time to regroup!

By the time I reach the dark splinter, my energy level is critically low and there's no way to recharge, so all it takes is one or two hits or accidentally bumping into this creature to end the game.

NOT fun! And there's no way to set the game difficulty to easy, it's either normal or hard. NO cheat codes either, that I can find on the internet, that would supply you with infinite energy.

And if it's this difficult for the first boss, I'd hate to see what the other ones are like. But like I said, if you're used to playing these types of games then it's probably not that hard and you'll probably enjoy it, but if you're like me you won't enjoy this game at all.

No Title

It might be a little bit on the late side for a review, but this game took me a little time because a of certain thin plumber was a bit distracting.
Super-inter-galaxtic space chick Samus comes back haulin' ass in her kinda new adventure of a 'two sided' planet. After investagating the planet Ather, which is in a civil war with itself. The ancient specieses of insect Lumioth have been battli' the dark hord group of Ing, they turned Ather into a dark deminsion of the planet to retreat from the light power of the Luminoth. But there is few Luminoth left, and the Ing are destroying more of the santutatries that destroyed them in the first place. Samus must restore the temples in both in the light and the dark world, which the dark world mutates creatures, in Ather to save the Luminoth from certain extinction. Space Pirites play an extremly short role as well as their oh so precious metroids'. Metroids are very rare in the game, even though it's the game name. Imagine the effect in the dark world to the Metroids.
Overal, not much of a change from the first, gorgous pixels, big fights and uniqe creatures. Prime time comes back for the Revolution, which will be huge! The Revolution will be a major consel, more than the PS3 and 360, I mean look, it has ITERNET, backward comptibility, and next-gen controller. You people don't give Nintendo it's props. Atari made the controll pad and one button controller, NES made the stick and 2 buttons controller and even latter, comfort grip! Give Nintendo some credit, you'd be playing Pong without it.

The sest Metroid Game ever made!

I think this game is awesome because Nintendo sure did a pretty good job making this game and I hope it gets nominated for game of the year and now Nintendo is making another great game but it's been delayed until next year so if you guys are a big huge fan of Metroid you would like this game!

Samus is ready, but are you?

Metriod Prime 2: Echoes - Circa 2005

GOOD:
- Beautifully detailed world and environments
- Unique gameplay style
- More of a story line then original Metriod Prime
- Multiplayer (versus) mode is included (1-4 players)

BAD:
- Exploring in first person is not for everyone
- Gameplay is not a traditional first Person Shooter, which may turn off some
- Boss Enemies are a lot tougher then in original Metriod Prime
- With no auto-hint map like the original Metriod Prime it can be hard to tell where to go next
- Not that much different form the original
- Multiplayer mode only supports spilt-screen

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- A Sci-Fi / Exploratory first person shooter
- Explore light and dark side of alien world (sort of like in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past)

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Metriod Prime
- Halo
- Super Metriod

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Game case has a cool hologram look to it

A pretty good game.

Once again Nintendo and Retro Studios come out with another pretty darn good game. I loved the first Metroid Prime, and I can almost say the same about this one. The controls and graphics are much the same. The atmosphere of the game completely isolates you, so you better have a buddy next to you. Overall the game will use you to its will, no, just kidding. You'll injoy this game, and I also recommend the first Metroid Prime.

Nice!

I own the prequel to this game as well and let me tell you everything in this game is improved, only slightly but any improvement over the first is good enough for me. The first one was loads of fun I beat it with 100%. Its one of the most atmospheric games ever created the enviroments feel like they could exist the style of the game is cool. My only complaint is that the weapons that you obtain in this game are sumwhat unimaginative and there could have been more extra gear to obtain instead of basically mimicking the original where thats concerned. Overall once you get past the first hour or so of the game you'll realize how real the graphics make it seem. Hell I've had countless dreams at night during the times I spent playing metroid prime 1 and 2 where I dreamed I was in certain rooms found in the games thats due to how atmostpheric it is. Its hard to explain but the people who made this game did a great job bringing the world to life.

Samas is cool
