The Sequel to One of the Best Games of All Time

Metroid Prime, in my personal opinion, was THE best GameCube game out there, with its stunning graphics and awesome gameplay. Now, Samus Aran makes what looks like an absolutely fantastic return in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
In this game, Samus journeys to a planet called Aether, which is split into two worlds - the Light World and the Dark World. In the Dark World, Samus can't survive for very long unless she's protected by small transparent domes of light. As she makes her way through the light and dark worlds of Aether, Samus will take on an alien race called the Ing - a race which is at war with each other - as well as an adversary that she will battle throughout the game...Dark Samus, an obviously evil version of Samus.
Even with the awesome storyline and gameplay that's coming with this game, that aspect isn't the only thing that has me excited about MP2. What's exciting me is the new multiplayer mode. That's right - Metroid Prime's coming back with a brand-new multiplayer mode in which you can frag your friends with the various kinds of beams and missiles that Samus has packed into that arm cannon of hers.
With all of this in mind, make sure that you all check the shelves of your local video game store on November 15, because this sequel is sure to be even better than its predecessor. Good Metroid hunting!

Compared To The First

My friend said you have to buy Metroid Prime for Nintendo Gamecube when it came out so I did. I learned right off this is a hard game but extremely fun and long. Game is over 200 hours which makes it the record breaking longest gameplay. It was amazing looking and everything tied in just right but still was to hard and long. I have seen several screens for Metroid Prime 2 and we might just have the next major competetor for Halo 2 which releases at the same time as this one. The graphics are even more improved along with controls new features and guns. This game will be perfect like the first but only if it's a little more short and not so hard in my opinion.

Cool Game...BUT

How come it's called Metroid Prime 2 Anyways? I mean, didn't I kill that thing the first time? Anyways, the first one was great so I am definately looking forward to this one as well.

Halo 2 might lose against MP2 in next years G-Phoria

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!

Please, longeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!

I am yet again going to be up at one in the morning to stand in line for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The first game awas ridiculously and absurdly good, so I will pound to death anyone who stnad sin my way. However, when I reviewed Metroid Prime for the website I used to workfor, I gave it 39/40. Yes, that is an "almost perfect". ALMOST. The first game had two things that kept it from being truly perfect:
1. It was quite a bit too short. In easy mode i finished it the firt time through with 100% of all upgrades in 10h27 min, and in hard mode I did the same in 15h or so. I know that shooters are hard to make any longer, but as everyone on the Internet seems to agree, MP was not really a FPS, but more of a FPA, First Person Adventure. It ties in with shooters and adventure games like Zelda, which, I am glad to say are way longer than FPS. Now I am actually ready to grovel and lick the boots of the guys over at Retro Studios in Texas for them to make this one longer than the first one. Please make it at least a good, healthy 20 hours of sweetness equal to the first.

2. It was a bit too easy. That was probably because of the hint system, which pretty much told you were to go. I finished it in easy mode under 15 hours without the hint system, which evened out the easiness of the game, but as i said, unless Retro wants to be responsible for mass suicides, they should make it AT THE VERY LEAST 20 hours long.

With that said, Metroid Prime is, along with Zelda: The Wind Waker, the greatest game on the gamecube to this day. I really hope echoes will live up to the hype, but from what i have seen, it should have no problem doing it.

Over and Out.

AWESOME

The original was okay, number two better, super metroid kinda satisfied me, fusion is too easy, prime one was too hard, zero mission is too confusing, lets hope this game will be just right!

Better than Metroid Prime one, by a long shot.

To start off, I'm going to contradict what that other guy said about the Metroid series because from the sound of things he sucks at video games... First, Metroid was an excellent game for the day and the hardest part about it was getting some paper to write down the password. Then, Metroid 2 for the Game Boy was pretty good, but it had a few flaws... namely the story, there were no real bosses/mini-bossess till the end. Super Metroid is an excellent game, and one of the top ten SNES games, and I'm not trying ot sound like a best-game-of-all-time groupie, but face reality, that game was worthy of at least a 9.8/10. Metroid Fusion was short, which is a fact, but for the most part is was really fun, but the replay value is indeed extremely low. Metroid: Zero Mission, was just a redone version of the first Metroid with an extended ending where you get to run around with out your suit on, which is really cool. It is in no way confusing because when you get a new item, a stone Chozo character tells you where to go, as if that isn't giving the game away, but thankefully you can turn that option off if you get sick of it. Then there was Metroid Prime which was a fun 15 hours for me first time through, and I've played througha couple more times since I then, which was a few days after I acquired the game.

The new Metroid Prime game is fantastic. It's sheer brilliance, and the thought of giving this game a score below 4 stars (unless you dislike the Metroid series because the thought of a chick running around in a space suit kicking as* is against what video game principles you believe in which are that the main character has to have a red hat, or a gun, which makes you a video game trendy) is just an inane thought. I bet some of you are thinking, "Oh man, I hope they never make a movie out of this! I hope they make another redundant movie about drug king pins in the mid 1900s and movies that include Tom Cruise where he pretends to be some one he's not..." well, suck the big one cause it's being made, so all people who are fans of the series can rejoice over that.

Now if you've read all this, maybe you'll read a little further as to why I think the new Metroid Prime game is going to rule. First, the demo leaves the first MP game in the dust, and second the game concept is a slight copy of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but hey, that was also one of the ten best games...well, maybe 20 best games of all time, but still, it means new guns and new worlds which is a bonus. Plus there's the new multi-player mode function which is going to be awsome. So buy this game if you have fifty bucks, if not, well, mow some lawns before the snow falls, it's worth the effort (unless you have a steady job, save a few bucks).

Gonna top one of the best gc games
