Metroid prime.....

I know there is already a thread about this game somewheres but I just wanted to say how addicting this game is...I have just recovered all the artifacts and faced Meta Ridley once...but the game is so awesome...even the little details(which make games great) are perfect.

I just want to give this game its place on the first page.

 

I bought into the hype on this game. Overall I found it to be rather mediocre. I played up untill the snow level and then just got fed up with it. It's been collecting dust on my shelf since January. It was just a tedious slow placed ordeal. Granted the game does have it's upside, like the grappeling hook and rolling around as a ball. But the controls, respawning monsters and backtracking through areas killed the fun for me. The overall gameplay experaince was not very challenging at all. And I'm not going to suffer through the game just so I can unlock the hard mode.

I really enjoyed Metroid Prime. I loved the graphics (imo the best graphics on the GCN) and the cool bosses. However, I did not like to fight the same respawning monsters over and over again.

 

i got back into this game almost a month ago. i still not have beaten it. i do find it slow somewhat but i like it. the respawning pirates are a hassle.

 

I loved it. There really wasn't anything that I didn't like, and plenty of things that I thought were great. And all the little details put in the game were pretty cool.

I didn't see anything wrong with the backtracking, but I'm used to the old Metroid games, so maybe that's why.

 

If you need help on finding stuff just go to codes.ign.com...then go to metroid...then go to game faqs and they have all the info on artifacts, missle expansions, and such.

 

It doesn't matter how fast you complete the game. You are only rewarded if you have a high percent. I finished the game with 89%.

 

This game has been on my shelf unplayed since June.

Money doesn't grow on trees, it grows on my trees

 

If it came out on the PC I'd get it. But I'm not buying a $2-350 GC console, plus another hundred for the game when I already have a comp and Jedi Outcast saber fights!

 

Rabid_Balding_Ewok it's the opposite with me. I wasn't really looking forward to playing it but after a while I really start to enjoy this game and I've finished it three times. (it took me 19 hours for the first time)

Although I admit this game isn't for everyone, but it does deserve it's third position on gamerankings.com overall best game (or fourth if you go by average of all sites).

 

Uh GC costs 1oo$ and the game is now 30$ so you would be paying around 150$ for the system game and memory card.....

 

I love Metroid Prime! I have never played a Metroid game before and it was perfect, a cracking FPS, stunning graphics and perfect bosses. I love it. It's my favourite GC game.

 

I almost beat the last boss(Metroid Prime)but I died...next time it dies!!!

 

That's what Metroid has always been.

It's not a shooter. It's an exploration/adventure game.

Backtracking and respawning enemies are what makes Metroid.... Metroid.

Always has been.

 

Omega Pirate was a major pain. But it was really satisfying to fire that one last Super Missile to take him out.

That, and it was hilarious to watch his corpse fall on Samus.

 

Oh, the prices I quoted were Aust prices.

 

Omega Pirate was strangly easy for me when I first fought him. I beat him without dieing once.

However, it was a different story when I fought him on hard. I was about ready to throw the Gamecube out of a window trying to beat him.

 

LOL!


Omega pirate, easy!....took me the most tries out of any to beat him....

 

I gotta say, fighting a floating pile o' rocks was pretty fun.

 

I just started playing the game in hard mode again. Def one of my fav games.

 

I am stuck. I really love that game though.

 

I was wondering how many of you have actually beaten the game without using the hint system on their first time?

I didn't but it took me a whopping 19 hours to beat the game

 

I had the hint system on my first time around until the I got down to Tallon. That's about the time I figured out how to turn it off.

Now, my first time around [hardmode], I just leave the hint system on since I've done it all before. It's more of a reminder system now.
