Metroid Prime is a 3-D Metroid title developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo.
In the beginning, Metroid Prime is a great game. The graphics are unbelievable and the game play is interesting. Once you start, it's hard to walk away from the game. Even bathroom trips become a major nuisance.
When you reach the middle, the game play is still fun to an extent, but by this point you've gotten annoyed with the enemies once or twice. They regenerate every time you walk out of a room. Nothing changes.
Finally, you reach the end and you've gotten all of the upgrades, you've beaten the bosses, and the scenery has all become familiar. After playing the game once through, you'll probably have little interest in repeating the game.
So while it is great the first time around, it does become repetitive.

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.

Don't get me wrong, it is a good game.
The story is that you are a bounty hunter and got a distress signal from a ship attacked by space pirates. You go there and tinker around, only to find the ship is about to explode. You get back to your ship and crash onto a planet, but you have lost all your weapons and armor and need to collect them.
The way you do that is turn on the hint system and it will tell you to go to a certain area. Before you get a special weapon, you have to fight a boss.
Samus's moves are weak at first but grow. You learn to do all sorts of things. The only thing you can do at first is fire your blaster. Later, you will be able to charge your blaster, fire missiles, roll into a ball.......
Aside from your gun, you have to pay attention to your visor. It will show you vital things like your enemy radar and a shrunken map of the area. You will upgrade your visor later on. It will go as far as becoming an x-ray visor.
Samus also will improve her armor. Basics only here. First it will do nothing. Then you can walk in high biohazards and double jump.
The game will make you trip out emotionally. It does a great job making you feel alone and scared (Only while you are weak you will feel scared). It is like you are against the world. Samus never speaks the entire game and has no assiocation with any living organism. Blow them all up.
The graphics are amazing. The details cut right to the bone. You can look up into the sky and shoot at some birds or you can actually get water droplets on your visor when walking near a waterfall.
The music is all too easy to ignore. It is played at a barely audible level.
The mistakes the game does make are mortal sins like I said. When you first start, the game will go along smoothly. Later in the game, you will have to backtrack for miles. Almost an HOUR mile. Then you have to worry about all the threats while you are backtracking. And each time you go through a door, you should have an uncontrolible urge to look at the map to see what path you need to go through in order to get to your distination. Worst of all, you will probably do this after every hall, door, and field. Like I said, you may backtrack for an hour or more.
The save system sucks. You have to go to a special pod and save in a certain spot. They are spread very far apart, hard to find, and they are just below several of them. You more than not, will die after two hours of complete progress before you get to the save system two doors over.
One problem is, like I did, may not finish the game. Before you get to the end, you are asked to collect twelve artifacts by backtracking everywhere. Two gamer peeves right there.
Overall, the game is fun, yet so bad. I do like the fact that the female bounty hunter is shown on the same level as male game characters. No sexist sterotypes here.
I recommend you rent it.

...ok so heres the idea of the game....take an action genre such as first person shooter..thats typicaly fulled of action and fun...and instead make it incredibly boring...but give the consumer lots of needless information like "this plant is the jugahuga plant"..I DONT CARE!!
this game bores meeee the boss fight where u were runnign around it was pretty fun but thats the only action in the game...the world was beautiful and everythign was beautiful...but i didnt 'click' with this world... it just felt like i was looking at a pretty moving picture....kind of the equivalent of watching somebody else playing.......then again i like watching my friends play games..but..just not this one...

If you have played Metroid 3 on the Super NES, and loved it like i did this is a must have it have the exact same feeling as that game hade that mystic fantastic feeling. And this game plays on almost the same way you have to go round and discovering new stuff and its very fun and exciting. This is probobly one of the best adventure games ever, and the graphic is fantastic every thing looks great and the soundtrack is one of the best ever if i culd find this on CD i whuld buy it, thats how good it is very deep and mystic. So this is a must buy for anyone with a Gamecube, to tell you the truth i bought my Cube yust so i culd play this fantastic game, after that i have bought many ather great game so it was well worth it.
And after you have played through it, and you whant more i strongly recomend you to buy the Metroid Prime 2.
