9.7 (Editors Choice)

Gameplay: 10
Graphics: 10
Sound: 8
Value: 9
Tilt: 10


"Metroid Prime is the best GameCube game to date. It's one of the best games on any platform this year, and, for good measure, it's also the best game yet in Nintendo's highly acclaimed Metroid series."


"It's not a first-person shooter. 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. So the pacing is deliberate at times, though the going is never slow."


"The rest of Metroid Prime's controls do an excellent job of capturing the classic feel of the Metroid games in full 3D and, in their own right, of simulating what it might be like to be in Samus' armor-plated boots"

I had lost most of my faith in Nintendo. This game reminds me why I still have some of it left...

Hopefully they invest more in retro towards staff, I want more staff = more games in dev. at one time.

Thank god for that. I don't like one player FPSs. For some reason I find them boring (especially afta playing Counter Strike).

I might have put that incorrectly. I don't enjoy playing 1 player FPSs, especially after playing multiplayer with CS

Hmmm...haven't been here in quite awhile...what the hell is up with the 80/20 white-to-blue ratio going on? Anyways...:rolleyes:

Just dropping in to say that, once again, Nintendo publishes some crunk-ass games. Metroid Prime is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best game I've played since Eternal Darkness and Rallisport Challenge this year.

If you don't buy this game you should be hung, whether you own a GameCube or not. It's that damn good.

How are ye??? Pretty good, actually. Been doing an assload of schoolwork, but rewards are always reaped after toil...

Other than that, I've just been recently bitching and promoting the hell out of Metroid Prime (my God this game is glorious) at XboxAddict. Quite a few of the most hideous fanboys there are even thinking about getting this game, which just goes to show you how much of a magic touch the big N still has.

But alas, I'm rambling at GT again- and you know how that goes...this can't be good.
