Product Description:
MODEL- DOL-P-GM8E VENDOR- NINTENDOFEATURES- Metriod Prime If youre a fan of Nintendos classic Metroid franchise you know you deserve this. You have waited much too long to be denied. Super Metroid was released in April of 1994 and since then there has been a nagging question in the back of your mind: When will Samus return? Do not fret. Open season on Metroids has begun. * It is Prime Time Metroid Prime is a first-person adventure game. Players control a bounty hunter named Samus Aran who must unravel a mystery behind the ruined walls scattered across Tallon IV. The game opens just as Samus spaceship docks on a Space Pirate vessel orbiting the planet. Immediately the beautiful graphics slap you across the face. Trust us its a firm slap. A silky-smooth framerate accommodates razor-sharp visuals of efficient machinery and foreign architecture. Meanwhile a cinematic soundtrack sets the mood and eerie sound effects thicken the alien atmosphere. By far the most effective visual effect is that everything you see is viewed through Samuss visor. The entire screen has a convex look and a digital display provides information ranging from current energy levels to ammunition data. The most effective ideas are sometimes the most simple and the visor view in Metroid Prime makes a huge leap forward in immersing players in the first-person perspective. Samus uses a Power Beam to shoot a series of locked switches and eventually enters a cylindrical corridor very similar to the passageways found in the original Metroid titles. When Samus strides by broken pipes spewing steam the visor becomes smeared with condensation. Later in the demo the visor is splattered with the internal juices of ruptured enemy carcasses. Yes life within Samus gravity suit is a beautiful thing. Weapon effects are equally pleasing. Hold the A Button to juice up the Charge Beam and you see the corridor glow and warp as the blast travels through space. Enemy animation is delightfully disgusting whether its a ...

-Pros-
Gorgeous environments
Rich back story ~provided you actually scan the non-action objects and Chozo Lore
Some of the best music I've ever heard in a game
Very immersive gameplay; you really get a tangible sense of isolation
Combat with the lock-on targeting is much more fun than the point and click format for FPS games in my opinion, and works better on consoles.
Puzzles were very fun, and made you think without being ... Read More

Retro Studios have done a phenomenal job with the Metroid Prime series. Prior to Metroid Prime the only other Metroid game had ever owned was Metroid 2 Return of Samus for the now outdated Gameboy. I actually had my doubts about this game upon picking it up 4 years ago because everyone carries on how hard it is to turn a 2d franchise into 3d but Retro did an exceptional job. As far as gameplay goes its top notch your gonna feel challenged with this one like a lot of Nintendo games they do not hold back ... Read More

I bought this when it first came out, and it was revolutionary at the time. Few (if any) games at the time had graphics this good. The controls were different than most FPSs, using a lock-on system, but I quickly adapted to it. The platforming, adventuring, and gameplay are all excellent. The environments were extremely convincing, and this game actually involved me emotionally in the situations I faced. It is one of the best games ever made for the Gamecube. If you haven't played it, you should give it ... Read More

Absolutely an amazing game, Metroid Prime has to be the not only the best Game Cube game, but undoubtedly the best Metroid game, yes, even exceeding Super Metroid. No disrespect intended towards Super Metroid; it has its own strengths, but I always thought that it could have been better in various ways. Metroid Prime is better in some of those ways, and overall I found it to be a much more complete and satisfying game than Super Metroid.
One area in which I will say that Metroid Prime ... Read More
