This game is going to rock,especially with multiplayer.I got some very valuable information about this game that you might realy want to know.First,we dont know aboutridley and kraid in this game,but there will be space pirates...space pirate commandos witch there called.Well the ing is not the reason samus is in Aether,she's there she needs to find out what happen to some Galactic federation troops called the Bravo team witch they loss contact in Aether and then samus gets in the middle of a war called the ing and the luminoth.The reason the space pirates are there is for you to know.Your going to like this game alot trust me.I have heard that thers going to be the screw attack witch is a move from Metroid Fusion.Cool thing is that now you get to shoot while your grappling.There is alot more suprises in the game like new beams,new visors,new features,etc.Something people should know if were going to get that sick dude a.k.a Metroid Prime as a boss again because they put metroid prime again witch could be a bad title for some people.So you should go get a gamecube now,and in Target I saw a bundle pak of metroid prime with a metroid prime game and metroid prime 2:Echoes bonus disc witha playable demo and a gamecube $99.99!

Samus Aran's greatest adventure yet!

This game is simply awesome. The best addition to this sequel is the new multiplayer mode. To see my ratings for the game's individual categories, please see below (scale of 1-10; a 5-star rating scale is not enough).

STORYLINE/CONCEPT: In the latest addition to the Metroid series, Samus is sent by the Galactic Federation to a mysterious planet that was split in two by a Phazon meteor decades earlier on a mission to locate soldiers who went missing without a trace. Cutscenes are more plentiful and cool to watch. Rating: 10

GRAPHICS: Outstanding and, at times, simply breathtaking. I especially like how the Ing look when they're in liquid form. Rating: 10

CONTROLS: People who haven't played the original Metroid Prime may think of the controls as slightly confusing, but you'll appreciate the setup later when you get more weapons and fight tougher bosses. Rating: 9.5

SOUND: You may notice some of the original music in a slightly different form. Fits the game. Rating: 10

ENTERTAINMENT VALUE: Addicting. You keep playing just to see what's in the next room...and the room after that... Rating: 10

MULTIPLAYER VALUE: Very fun, but I wish there were more options. Perfect option for this game. Rating: 8.5

REPLAY VALUE: You'll be playing this game over and over again for years... and it's easy to see why. Rating: Very High

GENERAL COMMENT/OVERALL RATING: You have to seriously mentally ill to not like this game. Buy it now or you'll hate life for it. Rating: 9.72

Fantastic

Reminiscent of a blend between Metroid, Zelda, and the FPS genre, "Metroid Prime 2" is probably the best game you can buy this year.

On orders to help a group of Federation soldiers, bounty hunter Samus Aran crashes on the planet Aether, where an object from space has torn the planet's energy into two halves, light and dark, each existing in their own dimension. Samus has been charged by the Luminoth, the once-peaceful residents of Aether, to reclaim the energy of their temples so that Dark Aether will fade away, along with its aggressive and war-like inhabitants, the Ing, who are not only strong and vicious on their own, but can possess the creatures of Aether to do their bidding.

True to form, Samus loses most of her abilities at the beginning of the game. Make no mistake, this is a game for thinkers. The path to success is never spelled out, and sometimes isn't even hinted at. The player must figure out what to do next on their own and will probably get stuck quite a bit.

In fact, the thinking games and figuring out what to do are more difficult than the enemies. But don't underestimate them either: enemies are powerful and will usually take some thinking to defeat as well, as certain ones need certain strategies to be destroyed. Sometimes the obscure route is the best one.

These challenges make "Metroid Prime 2" all the more enjoyable than a simple gun-crazy FPS. Regardless of it's appearance, it remains a Metroid game all the way. Samus must not only traverse the world of Aether, but of Dark Aether, where the maps remain similar, but very skewed. Outside of protective light spheres, Samus takes damage (and sometimes bosses must be fought outside of the protective light.)

What's been long-awaited is the multi-player. It isn't all that special aside from having Samus powers, but that's all anyone really wanted. There isn't great customization, but there are 6 levels to play in and two modes of competition; Deathmatch and Bounty Hunter.

Overall, you can do no wrong in buying "Metroid Prime 2" if you're up for a fun challenge and a rewarding experience. Is it worth buying a Gamecube for if you haven't already got one? It certainly is.

Awsome but freaking impossible

Echoes is a great sequal with amazing sound effects stunnig grafics and and bacround music like no other. I love this game.

It has an interesting story line but having to scan things can be restrictive when fighting enemies.

the ammo limitations are not to bad especialy because you have infinate power beam ammo.

over all an awesome game made better by having multiplayer.

discover that for yourself.

Might as well play the first...

I mean, I like this game, but something is just...missing. I'm not sure what it is, seeing as most of the element in the first game are here. Metroid Prime has that classic Metroid feel that was esablished by the NES classic, Metroid, and maintained by the ones that followed. Echoes however, just seems to be missing some stuff. The lack of save points is my biggest issue, I did not find the game super challenging, but there were some places where I would rather give up. It also seems so me that the whole light world dark world thing is just a cheap way of making the game bigger and longer than nessecary, seeing as the dark world is the same as the light one, just with poinson gas (which is very annoying when fighting bosses later on by the way). I don't know, maybe my tastes have changed since Metroid Prime, but it seems to me that there is just to much filler, and less game. Prime was a fantastic game, I would just stick with that. Maybe Nintendo will get it a little more spot on next time.

more of the same

Samus is stranded on another planet and loses all her weapons at the beginning *sigh*. Now we must go collect everything again. So the game plays more like you are doing errands and checking off items on your shopping list than actually having fun (especially when using a guide to find some arbitrarily hidden power-ups). If you have played Metroid Prime you know what is good about Metroid Prime 2. Here is what is bad about it:

- The whole Light/Dark world is extremely irritating. Imagine trying to solve puzzles while you are running through poison gas. Not fun. Perhaps they were trying to make you feel claustrophobic by confining you to small light bubbles as enemies encroached upon your position. They succeeded. But who wants to play a game where your hero can't go anywhere without suffocating? Who wants to play a game where you're confined to a dark cave the whole time? Doom fans may like it, but I find it tedious.

I got bored of this game and put it down for a while. It was difficult to pick it up again. If you played Metroid Prime I wouldn't recommend buying this game, even though it is very similar, the negative aspects are enough to destroy what enjoyment there was to be had.

IF YOU WERN'T AFRAID OF DARKNESS BEFORE, NOW YOU WILL....

This game is awesome. It has better graphics than the previous game and a better story line. The game might be a little complicated, difficult and long but its very enjoyable. The raphics are incredible and every corner lacks no detail. The bos fights are spectacular, i wont spoil anything...
If you licked metroid prime1, buy it. If you dint play it but you like first-person, adventure games, also buy it. After all its worth it and now its very cheap (...)

Why can't we like Halo and Metroid?

I don't see why it's divided! Both have good graphics! Both are fun! Both sell very well! Why can't we like both?!!! They're not really comparable anyways. One has "real" guns and one has beams. One is more into puzzles, and the other is more into... killing hoardes of aliens. So let me use this note to bridge the gap between Halo and Metroid fans. After all, we all like shooters don't we?

Sequal makes up for original.

This new metroid game deinetly makes up for its orginal. Your not just shooting animals and getting armor, your actually on a mission! This game isn't half bad. (p.s. The multiplayer is awsome!)

-Triple threat
