Well I just beat Metroid Prime today (14:26, 69%) and I must say the boss fight difficulty REALLY shot up at the final three bosses (I'm not going to spoil it and say who they are) So anyway, here's my review.
Presentation: 5/5 (The opening menu is really cool)
Graphics: 5/5 (Pushing the GameCube to its limits as far as I'm concerned. There's a little bit of slowdown sometimes, but it's not too major.)
Story: 3/5 (Well it never really explains anything in the game. To gain the story you have to scan all the Pirate logs, which can became a nuissance. But I'll say the story is pretty interesting with all the Space Pirates' genetic experiments)
Controls: 4/5 (I would have preferred a duel stick set-up, but after the first hour or two the controls feel natural. )
Sound: 5/5 (I like the old Metroid music re-mixed in the game.)
Gameplay 4.5/5 (I hated some of the backtracking, but I do realize that it's vital to make it feel like a Metroid game)
Replay: 5/5 (Getting 100% will take some time and after you beat the game once you open up a Hard Mode. You can also connection with Fusion and play the original Metroid)
Overall: 4.5/5 (If you don't have cash to burn to buy it, then be sure to rent it.)
