Metroid Prime 2 gets reviewed tonight at IGN

[Professor S]

Does anyone know if they added a story to the sequel? I own the first and I quickly became tired of playing as I didn't know WHY I was playing. Sure it was gorgeous, had good gameplay controls and was a wonderful mix of next gen and retro design, but without a real story I didn't feel compelled to solve the puzzles, backtrack constantly and shoot the aliens. The lack of the ability to save the game when I wanted also added to my frustration with the lack of story.

I'm going to give this one a rent before I buy it.
