Metriod Prime has awesome graphics and makes you feel like you are on Tallon1V. |
| Aaron Savage from Westwood,New Jersey says (26/Feb/2003): |
Metriod Prime is the best game for Gamecube I have ever played. All of my friends say that gamecube has horrible graphics and bad games. Metriod Prime proves all of them wrong. Samus is a girl whose parents and friends were killed by space pirates. She then was adopted by the chozos and was infused with their blood. She then went with a chozo power suit to destroy the pirates and their legions. That is the best storyline I have ever heard of. The graphics just speak for themselves. I love the perspective when you are Samus. It makes you feel that you are in the action. The music in the space pirate research center makes me jump when the pirates come(the view doesn't help either). That is a good feeling though. the graphics are so real that they gave my friend's brother nightmares for weeks. Just so you know the tubes and balls in the begining while you are loading are the metroids insides(you'll learn more about them in the ice region of the second level). I am hopeing that I don't have to vs the metal flame dragon, so if anyone could tell me in their essay, it would be great for me and others. Metriod is a great game in everything. I'm 12 and can't stop playing. I love this game and I hope this review will persuade you to try it out at least. Who knows, maybe you will be writing a review for this game soon. Now all I have to do is to convince Peter the Playstaton fan to like gamecube.

Quality Stuff |
| Bob X from USA says (25/Nov/2002): |
Metroid Prime is an excellent game that has easy to use controls and a nice variety of items that you can pickup in order to enhance Samus. I would definitely recommend buying it if you don't already own it.

Very Dissapointed |
| Sammy from New York, USA says (25/Nov/2002): |
I understand what others are saying about Metroid Prime, but that is because the graphics are blinding their visions. Graphically, the game is amazing. Looking deeper to the gameplay, the TPS is horrible. You sometimes get the scan visor on by accident, due to bad controls. I rather play Metroid Fusion, or even Super Metroid..only reason why I gave it a 1 instead of a 0 is the fact that you can play the original NES Metroid in Metroid Prime, in conjuction with the Metroid Fusion Game Boy Advanced game.

The Worst Game EVER!!! |
| OgreKill from Louisiana says (30/Nov/2002): |
Metroid should never had been made into a first person shooter. Nintendo should be shot for have done this to my precious Metroid. SO I give this game two middle fingers up! I just hated it. The graphics are horrible, the sounds stink, and the controls are retarded. Need I say any more? Well one more thing! Just kidding I love this game...reverse everything I just said :P
|
best game ever! |
| ridge idzikowski from barry ont says (5/Dec/2002): |
this game definitly rocks. once i beat it it took me 5 days i got hard moad wickid!. im now at pandora drifts [hard mode]and it is very very hard. but never the less it rocks man.

Amazing exploration based shooter game |
| Jace from New York, USA says (15/Dec/2002): |
Ok I gave this game a nine because it sucks hard when you finally get used to all your abilites to have them all taken away for quite a while. In the pirate ship escape you lose all but you basic abilities, visor, powershoot, non charged beam, and it takes you forever to regain them on theoverworld. Other than that amazing grphics and gameplay great game.

I'm glad it's out, but was alittle dissapointed |
| Dave from Illinois, USA says (18/Dec/2002): |
Ok, first my favorit games ever are Metal Gear: Solid, Silent Hill 1, Eternal Darkness, and of corse Super Metroid. Now why didn't I like this game as much? Well first the story seems very similer to Super Metroid. You start on a space station, Ridly messes it up and you must evaquate before it explodes. You then land on a planet in the same way you did on Super Metroid. Now I've never played Metroid or Metroid 2 so I don't know if all of the games start out like this but for god sakes atleast come up with a new story. And there aren't realy any new weapons. Sure the ability to combine missles with the blaster, but still there are no new blasters, and the combo's aren't realy that usefull. The only one I've been useing so far is the super missle and thats just on bosses. Also the new spider ball sux compaired to the old one. In this one you can only go up certin places on the walls witch totaly takes the fun out of finding where you need to go with it beacuse the paths are laied out for you. I think my favorit upgrades are the dubble jump and the grapling hook because these are creative and were never in a FPS before. And one other thing, I miss the super fast running upgrade. It made you invincable and made getting from one part of the game to the other less tedious. I know you get it as the ball but its use is totaly different. Other then that its a good game and worth playing.

Too easy and a bit boring |
| Richard R. from Everett, WA USA says (19/Dec/2002): |
I bought this game and beat it in 30 hours first try. Not bad. Most RPG's I ever played lasted that long, but even though this is not a RPG, I still think it was good for the first time. But after replaying it to find all the items, I only found that trying to find all the missles challenging (found 210 so far). The graphics are kinda disapointing. I've seen better on the game cube. In fact, the graphics are a bit different than what is shown on the commercial. So I give the graphics a 8 star rating. The music wasn't that great either but it was't bad. So it's another 8 stars there. The game play is great if you like first person shooters. To rate the challenge of this game, I rate it a 7. Come on, Super Metroid's Ridley was much more difficult to defeat. I'll admit that I liked meta-ridly better only because he looks so kewl. The AI in the game is good but needs improvement. You can go up to the next room, stand still, and watch a space pirate walk up to you then turn around like you weren't there. This game gets boring after 3 times of playing it in a row. I found Mario Sunshine more enjoyable and more fun than this game. So the fun rating, I give it a 6. Overall I give this game a 7.

Metroid Prime is in fact good [If u like first person shooting] |
| David from Harrison Nj, USA says (30/Dec/2002): |
I find that this game is a lil to ez because it does everything for u and locks on to targets [which i dislike] but the bosses are harder to beat i give it that. Although i haven't beat this game yet (very close) the storyline line seems OK... but i prefer playing the nes and snes of metroid hehe thats just me..

GREAT!!! |
| Erik from Woodbury, CT says (22/Jan/2003): |
Originally a player of Metroid, though well after it was release. Beat Metroid, Matroid II for GB, and Super Metroid. Every since Super Metroid I have waited for a game like this. I have bought both this and Metriod Fusion for GBA. I play the GBA for the oriognal Samus stle of play. This game though brings you into the future, as you are samus. Graphics are best ever, supior ot any game on PS2, X-Box or PC! No kidding, give second soughts to those Ps2 fans who couldn't wait 11 months for gamcube... Recommend getting both fusion and this, then when you beat both, you get the play the classic Metoid.

I'm Speechless |
| A gamer from Chelsea, Canada says (26/Jan/2003): |
What an amazing game! I can't see why ANYONE wouldn't like it. If you don't like it GO TO HELL! Every single element of the game is perfect. The difficulty is just right, the graphics, sound etc. are truly perfect. The only thing that would get me off the couch was food (mmm...) and Sports. 999 trillion% perfect!
Thanks Nintendo and Retro Studios!

Ever wanted a challenging game, here you go |
| code name 555 from Las Angeles, Califorina, USA says (7/Feb/2003): |
You people must be kidding. Who needs a review for this game of the whole world is giving it a 10 out of 10. Me and my dad used to play the Snes game, it had some magic into it and was fantastic. Metroid Prime is even better than you could image. New vilian, old vilians i wanted to have a score with, and finally metroids. Gamer's there is a great evil out there, and its up to you to conquer it.

A Great, Challenging Game. Thats Rare. |
| Jason Jones from Louisville, USA says (19/Feb/2003): |
I love this game. I have just finished playing it, and unlocked everything in normal mode. Now im ready for hard mode and i cant wait. This is the first game I have played in a long time that i actually died a few times. Thats rare. Especially the last few bosses. Ridley was kinda ez once u got the pattern. BUT Metrioid Prime is the greatest boss ever made in a long long time. I mean, I died 5 times playin this thing before i got it down and killed the blasted thing. It was challenging. And all of the new guns and abilities rock. Retro and Nintendo should make all games like this one. This is one of those games that, even if you are bored, you can just run around and shoot stuff. It has a tremendous amount of replayability. I LOVE THIS GAME. Great Job Nintendo.

pretty good |
| Bobby Brady from Cheyenne, USA says (21/Feb/2003): |
It is one of the best games I've ever playedthe graphics are good so is the sound the starting life span is 99 but you can get energy tanks to hold more. the reason I like it is it's a role playing game and you get different weapons(beam,ice,wave,charge,plasme and flame),visors(scan,combat,thermal and x-ray)and scan data. Different items are space jump boots, missile launcher, morphball, varia suit, phason suit, gravity suit and more

IT'S NOT JUST A GAME it's a riveting package!!!! |
| A gamer from Charlotte, NC says (6/Mar/2003): |
It doesn't matter whether you're out to just defeat and kill, or explore and conquor, or discover and just gather what you need...it's like a good book and you don't want it to ever end because it takes you in and keeps you there. I bought the game cube just to play Metroid Prime and boy, did I get my money's worth! There aren't too many things out there you can say that about today.

The 1st Space/Alian game ive ever liked! |
| A gamer from USA says (30/Apr/2003): |
this is one of the best games u can get for ur GC! its fun and at first it kinda seemeed that its stupid and really easy and boring, but dang it gets really fun. theres like 6 bosses but there really complex in grapics and arnt ur normol boring easy bosses. these bosses r HARD to beat and figure out how to beat them ( except the o so easy 1st boss). the game never gets u bored because u get tons of new wepons and new tecnoligy like, rocket expansions, power boams, ice beam, flammthrower, boost ball, space boots, and much more! the game is composed of different worlds and tons of creatures. i specificly loved the boss fights which really challenged me and took a lot of power to do so. the only reason i cant give it a 10 is because i got so bored of it ( after i beat it) and really dont want to play it ne more after ive beat it, but it is a really long game so it does keep u likein it for a LONGGGGGGGGG TIME! well over all this is 1 of the best GC games out!

GREAT! game AWSOME graphics superior replayability as with all metroids! |
| A gamer from Maine says (24/Jun/2003): |
I bought this game last week and just beat it and this game is competely awsome as with all metroids it has some great adventuring and game replayability. As most of you have heard the games done like a first person shooter and I have to admit being a long term metroid fan I was very sceptic about the change but once I played it I loved it in fact im glad they changed it. The sound and music is great during most battles the music changes to suit the mood especially during the boss fights also some "sorta creepy" music takes place while you are in some semi-creepy levels the sound and music alone is worth a 10 star! As for the gameplay they are top notch the game has so much freedom you can almost go whereever and do whatever you want the map system helps you find your way around and by studying it you can find shortcuts to different area's and there's a LOT of shortcuts which help make the game much less repetitive. There's ALWAYS something to kill no matter were you are you will never get bored. The games moderately difficult when you start off and those people who would be disapointed with the difficulty there's a HARD difficulty for those who have beatin the game. And of course the graphics which add so much more to the already AWSOME gameplay you really feel you are Samus throughout the whole game when you are in an area thats raining you can see rain drops hitting samus's visor + if you go over your head in magma it covers he visor and slides off the same with water. Its a pretty cool detail and for those of you(and im one of them) who want to see samus well you see her plenty whenever you go down an elevator and during boss fights cut you get cutscenes and of course in the morph ball you can see her and control her while rolling. As you can tell the game is NOT like any old first person shooter I for one am not a fan of first person shooters mainly because they like hiding the character and you can NEVER see them but this game was done beautifully they really strived on making this a very different kind of FPS(First Person shooter). To conclude this you really need to buy this game renting it isn't enough because you will be going back to this game for countless reasons!

At its Prime! |
| John Remias from Dallas, USA says (24/Jul/2003): |
The game was sweet! The sound effects were very cool, especially when I was fightn' Chozo Ghosts. There was a surround systemwhere a ghost was to the left of Samus and had nearly hit her had I not heard its shreik.
My other other favorite element of the game was the incredible divercity of creatures and how they looked.
