Like Super Metroid from the SNES years, Prime has all of the credentials that make a classic Nintendo game. Shamefully, there will be a fair few that will not relish the finer moments of Metroid Prime, because when it gets good, it gets really, really good. The later bosses and puzzles involve a lot of thought-...more

I waited 8 lonnggggg years for this but it's finally came back! Metroid Prime for the Nintendo GameCube is a huge update to the legendary Nes and Snes games. In it Bounty Hunter Samus Aran returns to fight the evil Space Pirates of the galaxy again but now this Metroid game is completely 3D and the view is almost always First Person Shooter now like in other games a Halo, Quake, Goldeneye. Weird but true. Metroid Prime is filled with spectacular graphics, familiar sounds, and the same good old gameplay that made the originals such great games, but is this really one of the best GameCube games out there or is this game one big 3D disappointment? After the last ... Read the complete review

It was at E3 in 2001 when people started to worry about this game. Shigeru Miyamoto himself stated that there would be no demonstration of the game due to ?personal concerns? and that the game would have to go through re-evaluation. However in 2002 the latest screenshots and test plays showed signs of it being a truly great game. Now people are claiming it to be the best game on the GameCube yet. Metroid Prime is the new addition to the popular Metroid series. While it was never that big in its home territory of Japan the Western gamers lapped up the adventures of the bounty hunter Samus Aran. ... Read the complete review

Retro Studios, the developer behind 'Metroid Prime', was having a difficult time before the release of this game, the company torn apart by redundancies, release date delays and the scrapping of projects, mostly due to harassment by the perfectionist zealots we know (and love) as Nintendo. For a long time the future of 'Metroid Prime' was uncertain: early screenshots of the game were impressive, but it was unsure if the gameplay would come up to scratch, and do justice to the original 'Metroid' game and the classic 'Super Metroid' on the SNES. Things seemed to change when ... Read the complete review

*This review is about the Prime Trilogy version of Metroid on the Wii, which uses motion control* Metroid Prime was originally released in 2002 for the Gamecube, but was re-released as part of the 2009 Prime Trilogy pack, which combined all three games. The great value package updated the first two installments with the innovative motion controls utilised in Corruption along with improved graphics. I had not played the original Gamecube version, nor had i ever played a metroid game before, so this was my first exposure to the universe of the bounty hunter, Samus Aran. I was instantly enthralled by the games smooth controls, immersive story and ... Read the complete review

Metroid Prime is the best shooter game to appear on the gamecube. Well one of them. you folow the story of Samus Arun and start off super powered bounty hunter, just after you start the game a little way in you loose your powers, have to get loads of them back while on a foreign planet and trying to get back at her old enemy Ridley. In game you have a scan mode using which you can find all kinds of information dotted around the game environments or new grapple points and other things of interest. This is one the interesting things in game and also a cool idea, you can scan enemies to get all the details on it, and on bosses you can kelp find weak points with ... Read the complete review
