Disadvantages: none

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 the scaning device.

The combat in game is awesome, simple controls yet effective and the difficulty in game is just about right for your first play through that you enjoy the carnage. you use a lock on to target enemies and the you can shot at the, charge your shots from your cannon, use missles later on. You also unlock some alternative beams as well where you can shoot different kinds of things and the combat becomes even better as the game goes on.

The game also has a good number of puzzle elements to it, some of which take some time to figure out and by completing are the only way to unlock some items. There is also the ability to morph into a ball and get around small passages and small ducts, etc. Helping you to find extra add ons and upgrades.

The graphics in it are awesome and the game totally immerses you with eerything going on. You feel very alone in the game, as there is never any other interaction just you in this lone planet where anything that moves is probably trying to kill you.

The game is one of my favourites and has lots to offer, the story will take you a niec long amount of time to complete, and then if you want there is a hard mode you unlock which takes even longer. And the game is fun enough to come back and play again. Definately reccomend this game.

Summary: good game with some awesome shizzle
