Title: God I love this game, and the GameCube...
Post by: Mario Maniac on May 06, 2008, 11:15:23 PM
Metroid Prime is incredible. If you have never played it it is definitely a must-buy for the GameCube. I just bought it a few days ago and I love it. One of the best games i have ever played. The music, graphics, gameplay, controls, everything about Metroid Prime is perfect!

Congrats to Retro Studios for successfully resurrecting the Metroid series in 3D.

Yes I know it's an old game, but I never owned a Cube until recently.

And I know it's in the wrong forum. Sorry about that.

What are your opinions on Metroid Prime?

Anyone want to share their opinions on this game?

I agree. It's a pimp, pimp game. I've also played 2 and 3 but the original was the only one I 100%ed.

I secretly like this thread because a part of me wants to make a thread like this for half the stuff I play that I know no one here ever will.

Haven't played it, but might consider getting it.

My gamecube library never got more than 2 games (Animal Crossing and Melee).

I had a lot of opportunities to play this game over the years, but I passed them up, having never played a Metroid game or a first-person shooter (hey, I'm a Nintendo guy). So I finally got around to playing it and... great! A little tough in some places, but it's otherwise a classic in my book. I just can't muster the same enthusiasm for the 2-D Metroids, though... Guess that's what I get for playing MP first.

Whenever I play it, I love it, but inevitably I get stuck on a boss and don't play again for a month, and then when I come back, I've forgotten where I am, and start a new file.

I have 1 and 2 and they're both awesome.
And I also have the DS demo of Hunters.
I shall one day get Hunters and 3.

I have Corruption and loved it and I plan on picking up 1 and 2. However, I'm also holding out in case Retro Studios rereleases the first two with Wiimote controls.

Gah, I'm conflicted.

BTW, don't buy Hunters, it blows.

Most likely won't happen.

Like Vidgmchtr said, it's not gonna happen most likely. And I'm gonna get Hunters anyway simply because I collect. I didn't much care for it from the demo, all I do when I pop in the demo is the morph ball demo, which is the only part I enjoy.

The real game's controls and weapons system is far better than that of the demo. However, it has somewhat poor value as a single-player game-- if you don't intend to try multiplayer, I hope it isn't still full price.

Loved Metroid Prime 1. This is how Metroid should be done in 3D. The working visor features and the incredible amount of information you can scan for every little object (all written in a very sci-fi tone) were great. Next-to-last boss was incredibly difficult. I've never beat the last boss. But what I remember most of all is the first world, the Tallon Overworld. Rain falling down on the lush surface. The music... ah yes, the first Tallon Overworld music is my favorite music from that game.
And I can't be the only one who feels an uneasy mix of calm and terror whenever hearing the underwater music in the wrecked ship.

Hated Metroid Prime 2 because it was too hard too fast, and the dark world was annoying. Got up to Torvus Borg before quitting.

Never played the third game.

I feel more of a man for beating MP2.

Real men play as women in their video games. ::)

Is it single card multiplayer?

The only Metroid game I've played is Metroid Prime. It was okay, but didn't seem as awesome as everyone says. But I guess maybe shooting games just aren't my thing.

I'm not a fan of FPS' either. I like the really good ones though. I can honestly say I hate the Halo franchise, though.

Yeah, you can download and play with people at any stage, I think-- but then, you'll be the only person able to use a Hunter other than Samus. And that sometimes annoys people.

Hm. I'll think about it.

I won't.  I have yet to buy MKWii; the suspense is killing me!  But it brings up a similar question:  should I get MKWii or MKDS if I only get one?
Title: Re: God I love this game, and the GameCube...
Post by: missingno on May 09, 2008, 11:30:23 AM
Wii, though DS is also really good.

I'm not a Metroid Prime man, probably because the 2-D games are so much better. I can see why people would enjoy them, though. They're just not my cup of tea.

DS.

I believe I'm having a lot more fun with MKWii than I did with DS. But it's been a bit since I've played MKDS.

I think it's pretty fun. It was the 1st Metroid game I got. Well, after discovering other nintendo games, I figure I should try a Metroid game, so I got Metroid Prime, and it's fun. It took me about 2 weeks to beat it, but I like it. I wanna get Metroid Fusion so when I beat it, I can try the original Metroid. I know I can download it, but- y'know.

Metroid Prime was my first, too. I don't need Metroid Fusion to play the original, though I do have it because it's a good game on it's own.
