"Taking the leap from 2D to 3D, Metroid Prime was a success in every department. The gameplay design was nearly perfect, it was well balanced, the controls were excellent, and it was challenging from beginning to end.
Metroid Prime is much more than a standard first-person shooter; it's a title about exploration and discovery. The Morph Ball mode touched on these aspects as the Metroid series has always been much more than any average action title – they are landmark titles that pushed their genres forward, which Prime clearly does."
Metroid Prime is a detective game at heart, and the Scan Visor is Samus' trusty magnifying glass.
It's been two decades since Metroid Prime first launched and it still holds up fantastically well.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I bought this for my GameCube! My best friend and I ordered pizza for delivery, it was snowing outside and we stayed in all weekend playing it. Still one of my all time favorite games and I really hope the Switch ports being rumored is true. Fantastic game, one for the ages🙂
With the recent release of Dread, it's time to look back on the history of Metroid and rank the best — and the worst.
Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.
Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.
Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.
Metroid Prime is f***ing hawt! I love that sunken space station and all the cute little visors.
I loved this game, itwas really fun. One of teh best games on the GC
Metroid Prime is where the goods are at.
Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games ever. I can't think of any other game from this decade that I liked more.
Agreed, bubbles to all! Metroid Prime was huge and epic.
Question, there's a boss that I always had issues with later on in the game (near or before getting the phazon suit). I forgot the level/map, but it's some weird eggbot-like thing that I only ever seem to beat by getting stuck in tight spot where it can't hurt me and then just shooting the hell out of it. You need a special visor to see it when it cloaks, and also it can take your health down like water, really quick.
Anybody got any idea what I'm talking about and if so maybe you got a better strategy?
