Default Gamespot Review: Metroid Prime

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...

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