I never owned a gamecube, I bought this to play on the Wii after loving Metroid Prime 3. This game is a ton of fun that will easily give you about 30 hours of game play, with some stunning visuals (looks great on the wii). I agree with one of the reviewers about the save system. Scattered recharge stations are fine, but if I'm laying my money down for this game, I'd like the ability to save at will, especially if I may not have an hour to sit down and play. But that's a small negative for overall very excellent game play. For metroid series fans, there a lot of familiarity here, almost as if all the best features of Super Metroid were translated to 3D.
And for the people playing this on the Wii, first off, get a good Game Cube controller to play it b/c you can't use the Wii mote or the classic controller. I bought a wireless Nintendo Wavebird controller off Ebay and its perfect for it. Also, make sure you buy a Gamecube memory card first before playing otherwise you can't save your game.

Immersive environment, exiting gameplay, great graphics (for back then) and a story that will keep you interested thoughout the whole game. I can really say that this is one game that I can play over and over again, and still feel exited about it. Not a pro review nor in depth what so ever, but if you have heard good things about it, it is all true. Check out the video review by one of Gamespot's former Chief Editor, you will see what I mean.

The "save stations" ruin this game for those of us who like to play video games in our free time, rather than all of the time. You can only save your game at certain locations on the map, and it is not uncommon to go 30 - 60 minutes without reaching the next save point, OFTEN WITH BOSS BATTLES JUST BEFORE.
This ruins the battles, because who wants to risk dying just to have to repeat the same 30 minute hike to face the boss (and possibly die) again? Instead, you pause the game and read the walkthrough, eliminating any fun in figuring out how to beat the bosses yourself.
Even for hardcore gamers, this game leaves a lot to be desired. The combat is uninspired button mashing (the only challenge in the last few boss battles is not any sort of finesse, but rather keeping your thumb/the controller from breaking long enough to defeat the enemies). The "story" is presented only through hard-to-read-and-click-through blurbs you find on computer consoles and walls. And the backtracking -- oh, the backtracking!
Overall, I am hugely disappointed in this purchase for my Wii, and if this is the best the GameCube had to offer, I'm glad I never got one!

This is not "Homeschoolmom", this is her son! I think this is a great game! The graphics are awesome for the year it was made and the gameplay and controls are simple to master.
The only think I don't like about the game is the distance you have to travel to get where your going. It can be really frustrating!!
Other than that, this game is awesome and is one of my all-time favorite games!! I can't wait to get the other two Metroid games if this one is this good! Go Samus!!

Even though as i write the review Gamecube's are no long around. Metriod Prime is a must have for the system. Its graphics are good for its generation. Although i will say that there are points in the game when it could use a little speeding up but other than that the game is pretty good and worth taking a look at.
