Topic: Metroid Prime


  
 Metroid Prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was the first 3D Metroid game and is officially classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter due to the large exploration element in the game.
Metroid Prime: Hunters is a similar game to Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes which takes place between the two titles.
For example, the space jump only allows the player to perform a double jump, as opposed to jumping continuously as in previous games, to prevent the player from getting stuck or unwittingly triggering a glitch.

 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, like the first Metroid Prime, is a 3-D game in a first-person style.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes in Japan and Korea) is a first-person adventure/shooter video game taking place within the Metroid series.
It was also the first Metroid game to feature a multiplayer feature.

 GameSpy.com - Review
Metroid Prime is one of the finest games I've ever played.
Metroid Prime is an exploration game with excellent platformer overtones -- all of which have been lovingly and faithfully grafted into a 3D world.
Nintendo made damned sure that Retro Studios' project lived up to the hype and what you're left with is a game that takes the ever-so-precarious leap from 2D to 3D with resounding success.

 Metroid Prime - GameCritics.com
The first thing players will notice is that Metroid Prime is a first-person game.
Metroid Prime is obviously a great Metroid game, but it's a lot more than that.
Nintendo, on the other hand, seems to employ designers who understand that the essence of a game is not the sum of its parts, but rather the aura created by the underlying philosophy that its gameplay is based on.

 Metroid Prime for GameCube Review - GameCube Metroid Prime Review
Unlike in previous Metroid games, none of Samus' weapons are ever replaced--her arsenal only grows in size, and all her available armaments remain tactically useful throughout the game.
Metroid Prime doesn't play like any other game that's come before it, and it emphasizes exploration and investigation at least as much as pure action.
As in all other Metroid games, you'll assume the role of interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran, whose objective this time out is to search the planet Tallon IV for signs of illicit activity on the part of the Zebesian space pirates and put a stop to them once and for all.

 Metroid Prime (cube: 2002): Reviews
Metroid Prime without a doubt has become my favorite game on the GameCube, and thus far my favorite game out of this generation of gaming.
Metroid Prime stands up not only as the most original, diverse and simply awe-inspiring game on the Gamecube, but as one of the five best videogames I have ever played.
While Metroid Prime engages on no level other than gameplay, that gameplay is so perfectly tuned and refined, so continuously evolving and clever that you'll keep playing and playing, even when you're frustrated, even when you're honestly just a little bored with the back-tracking, and even though you don't care about the character or story.

 Metroid Prime GameCube Review
Metroid Prime is an exceptional game and I'll do back flips to recommend it.
Some creatures, such as the Stone Toad or the Baby Sheegoth can be difficult to kill and will need their weaknesses figured out, while the boss monsters for each world in the game come with complex strategies and ask you to use both your brains and reflexes in order to defeat them.
While it's certainly interesting to see just how far the Metroid game has evolved from its NES beginnings, the new Fusion suit is so reprehensively vulgar, it's not worth the expense or effort.

 Planet GameCube Preview: Metroid Prime
Being that Metroid Prime is a hugely important title for Nintendo this year (this is the big tuna for the year), many rival fanboys have spread stinky poops that it would be a very short game.
True, some of the elements from the 2d games may be lost and the 3d game is not quite the same, but with a focused and capable team of developers behind it, the game becomes something new and wonderful while retaining many elements that warm a gamers nostalgic heart.
Peter MacDougal introduced Metroid Prime as one of three games that Nintendo is aiming squarely at mature gamers (although the exact rating is still pending).

 AllRPG.com - Metroid Prime - Review
The game is referred to by Nintendo as a "first-person adventure", since the game is an adventure that takes place in the first-person perspective made famous by first-person shooters.
Stop reading this review and go play the best game of 2002.
To any still here, the series centres around one Samus Aran, a bounty hunter given a special suit by the Chozo which she combats the space pirates.

 Metroid Prime - Review By LBOOGIE [56K][Team Triforce] - Reviews - Nintendo NSider Forums
Metroid Prime is not a linear game, meaning that when you leave one area of Tallon IV you aren't done with it.
Metroid Prime is the largest Metroid game to date, and will take a long time complete on your first play through.
Many thought Metroid Prime was going to go down the path of a First Person Shooter genre and others thought the game would just lose its Metroid touch in the 3D realm.

 TeleFragged -Metroid Prime
The original Metroid game's revelation that Samus is female character, something that was only shown with a specific ending, was pretty huge for its day.
The game takes place just after the very first game, and before Metroid II on the old GameBoy.
While it is a subtle effect that only lasts for a split second at a time, it is one of the coolest bits of eye candy in the game.

Loaded with classic weapons from the previous Metroid games and an arsenal of all-new weapons, Metroid Prime is an adrenaline-charged alien-blasting adventure that's worth setting your sights on.
Doing justice to the original, the developers at Retro Studios charge full-speed ahead with a brand-new ballistic adventure that comes heavily armed with high-caliber gameplay, including first-person adventuring as seen through Samus's combat, scan and other high-tech visors.

 Review - Metroid Prime // Gamecube /// Eurogamer
To be honest, we could go on about Metroid Prime all day, but we're sure you're pretty sick of reading glowing, superlative-bound reviews of the game you really must buy today.
But the thing is, it's a game so mesmerising that it has stirred emotion in even the curmudgeonliest of games writers.
Almost everything you achieve in the game is rewarded with a new weapon, or upgrade, suddenly offering you the chance to go back to out of reach areas of old levels to scour for new sections and even more upgrades.

The things that make Metroid Prime a true Metroid game are the levels, the battles and the puzzles.

Perhaps the most controversial new feature in the game though is a four-person multiplayer mode where you can use all of the game’s power-ups and weapons.
In many ways an atypical Nintendo title, with its first person adventuring and a dark sci-fi setting, the game was still full of the classic Nintendo magic with amazing graphics, perfect controls and incredible attention to detail.
But as mentioned by some reviewers, the concept of backtracking (common to all metroid games) does get very annoying after a while.
