Gamespot Review: Metroid Prime
 

9.7 (Editors Choice)

Gameplay: 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"

HMmmmmmmmm...I'm not a big fan of games that FP...but I might give this one a try.

You sure should. :D

FPS are my least fav. game genres, but according to what ive heard, its more of an adventure than anything else, so im gonna get it.

Yeah this game is different from FPSs... definately something everbody should try.

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.

Oh man, GS actually gave that score? This game must be out of this world for them to give a score like that :D...

An 8 for sound? hmmm...meh.

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

Ehm Counter Strike isn't 1 player... no wonder you found it boring. :D

:sigh:

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

Ah, I C. :)

Oh Lord!! Can i get an Amen! (Say AMEN now or you die!) :D

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.

Shadow Fox!!! :D
How are ye???

Just got it, MUST GO BACK TO TV! CAN'T TALK!

Oh man I wanna play! :baby:

Well, at least Metroid Fusion will be released this week... :)

I'm stuck in school. I envy you GREATLY Blackmane. ;_;

I won't say Amen, but your religious threats don't scare me :camfu:

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.

*runs away*

Are you still GT-phobic?

Never was, never will be, Mr. Moderator/Editor...;)

As long as I've got my blade and pist-er, courage, I fear nothing but a diety or two...:D

Anyways, it's my lunch break; off to finish MP!!!!
