this game rocks.
i thought the first on gamecube was amazing, but the 2nd seemed like more of the same to me and got boring after a while.
3 doesn't seem to have a whole lot added to the formula, but i think it's fantastic. started out kinda weird and not good with the whole interaction with people but after that it got great.
sky town is the shiznit!

it took me a few hours to get into prime 2, cause i wanted more story about the chozo, but in this metroid universe, theres obviously other aliens too, and the luminoth are interesting. the lands were very well designed in this game too. i cant really find any flaws in prime 2.

i'm not too fond of hacks, due to glitches and all, but i'll give it a shot. what i really want to experience is zero mission, especially after watching a speed run of the original metroid. only i'm a purist so i have to wait until i find the original cartridge.
i'll give metroid prime 3 a shot and a waggle at the end of the month.

Gameplay wise, Zero Mission is the best Metroid ever. But it has this bright flashy art style and low quality music that puts me off. Super Metroid has so much atmosphere, it's just incredible. Of course it's a nearly perfect gameplay-wise, too.
As for MP3... it's certainly an expertly crafted game, but the level design and style are very beentheredonethat. The controls are nice but the combat is as simplistic as ever, so it's not as big a deal as it could have been.
Great game but frankly I'm excited that Retro don't have to do another Metroid. They're so talented, let them really flex their creative muscle with a new universe and style of play.

unfortunately eve4n with all these new gimmicks, super metroid is still unbeatable if not for the excellent musical score alone.

its not your typical hack, i was hesitant at first but after playing a few hours, I realized that it's even better than supermetroid, the world is about 4x bigger. the same areas and music and enemies are intact, it's just a complete redesign. Very professional too.

I agree with Ophecks in this thread. While I'm having lots of fun playing this game, there are a few things that bother me.
I'm getting powerups way too fast and not even fighting bosses to obtain them. That's one thing I loved about echoes. As for the bosses I've fought, they we way too easy. I beat echoes in hard (with the help of my step brother for the boost guardian) so I maybe veteran mode will offer more of a challenge for me.
I loved the other metroid games for that desolate feeling, being alone on a planet and having to think for myself. Getting transmissions all the time and seeing soldiers everywhere completely ruined this aspect.
As for multiple planets, while it's interesting it's also tedious. It takes longer to get to new areas as opposed to the elevators in the other games. And the areas are so small. AND the load times (waiting for a door to open) can take up to 10 seconds for me.
Other than that, I'm loving this game (I'm looking for energy cells now to fuel up the Valhalla.)

Well I enjoyed it but there were a few things that bothered me too much to just let slide.
*Boss fights were way too easy.
*The chozo satellite thing that shows you where to find secret items ruined the mystery (with exception to pirate homeworld and the valhalla)
*Finding a new item didn't give you that feeling like a) you earned it through a tough fight b) you were excited to get it and use it
*The Halo shit at the end and beginning was very un-metroid.
*WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT OF GETTING MISSLES FOR YOUR FUCKING SHIP? I WAS HOPING THEY'DE BE USED IN THE END FOR SOME SPACE BATTLE OR SOME SHIT. WHAT THE FUCK?! OH GEE, SINCE THERES NOTHING TO GET BUT MISSLES, GOTTA FIND SOMETHING, RIGHT?
All in all I thought prime 1 was the most ground breaking, prime 2 was the best overall, and prime 3 had the best controls.

I LOVED Metroid Prime 1, not enjoying this as much though, hated the beginning, with all the people interaction, and now i keep getting transitions telling me exactly where to go next, so far its basically Metroid Prime with a bit of Halo mixed in... the control system is amazing though, hopefully there will be some more fps with this setup.

Super Metroid for me is the best metroid game ever. The first one on NES was cool and everything i spent hours playing it...but SM was just the perfect game for me. The newer ones are nice (i've only played the first metroid prime and the other gameboy versions). But i don't care for the 3d environment, I'm not saying the games weren't fun but i'm sick of the fact that almost every game has to be in a 3D environment now.
i would love a new platform 2d side scrolling game on the Wii instead of their smaller handheld systems. I know they've gone away and i'm not sure how the new Wii controls would figure into the equation, but imagine how sick that game would be if they got the creators of SM to design the game etc.

super metroid and zero mission are the only true metroid games anyone needs.
