While Nintendo is to thank for many of the innovative touches that have gone into the game, developer Retro gets the credit for pulling it all together so beautifully. As one Nintendo rep told us: "The folks at Retro are fans of the original games. The intent is not to make a first-person shooter, but to bring Samus into a 3D world. To call it just a first-person shooter undermines the game. When I first heard about Metroid Prime , I was suspicious. It was a revival of the venerable Metroid series on the new Nintendo Gamecube, played from a first person perspective.

Now at the time, most die-hard Metroid fans were less than happy with that announcement. We've all played FPS titles, and while they can be good, they aren't exactly original, what with some-odd dozens having been pumped out since the days of Doom and Marathon. As one of the more important aspects of the game, that's where I'll start. The first and most important thing you must remember about this game is that it is not a first person shooter. It's Metroid, updated for the Gamecube, played in a first person perspective.

All things alike, the difference is subtle, but there nonetheless. Next, you'll want to pay attention to the graphics. They are colorful, attractive, and in all ways respectful to the previous games. I cannot count the graphics that really capture my eye, but they were audacious and simple, obvious and subdued. An element missing from most first person titles is the sheer level of complexity that is exhibited in Metroid Prime's environments.

They are filled with lush detail and always appear unique and intriguing, rather than simple elements repeated many times. Beyond that though, are the little details like the display screens with data readouts, or the reflection of Samus eyes off of the visor during a particularly bright explosion. My favorite detail of all is how the fingers in the gun arm can be viewed with the X-Ray Visor, and can be seen to change position based on what beam you've chosen.

In addition to the old school technology like the Ice Beam or the Morph Ball, Samus now has the use of Visors, allowing her to scan enemies for special weaknesses, switch to x-ray mode to track invisible opponents, or even use the thermal visor to target weak points in an enemy. Each weapon gets its own 'combo' attack now, so in addition to the Super Missile now the normal Power beam combo , Samus can throw fire, shoot lightning, or freeze a multitude of opponents.

The storyline is perhaps the most interesting part of the game, detailing not only small parts of Samus history, but also telling the story of the Space Pirates and their terrible experiments on the planet Tallon IV. Unfortunately, it's only told through a series of text logs that can be downloaded with the scan visor. There's a lot of them, and they certainly reinforce the 'Metroid' feel, but I wonder if it would've been better to include some voice acting, and more plot.

The only real complaint I've had so far is the lack of any control customizing, as the game requires you to use the default control style. Still, that's the most substantial complaint, and given that I was able to get around the controls awkward at first, easy to use once learned , I don't think it's much of a flaw.

Metroid Prime should give you at least twenty of hours of gameplay your first time through, and that's not counting all of the extra stuff you can collect, from items to log entries, right down to a copy of the original Metroid, if you've got a GBA and a copy of Metroid Fusion.

Altogether, this is my new favorite game, and I'm going back to beat it again, on Hard Mode another unlockable to secure extra art gallery extras. Browse games Game Portals. Metroid Prime. To get the banner, first play the game in Dolphin and make it save, then copy the banner.
