Metroid Prime review thing with no format
So I finished Metroid Prime. I didn't like Prime at first but after playing through it grew on me. Don't get me wrong I still think Super Metroid is the greatest game ever. I think Prime comes close but it's not quite there. If you don't scan anything then it ends up seeming like an item fetch quest until the final few hours which will make it boring. Of course I didn't have a problem scanning things. A lot of the story is in the scans and it makes the game more enjoyable. Even the Pirate data is a little funny. There is one about the pirates getting torn to bits by them trying to recreate the morph ball. I wasn't too thrilled on the last area. To me it seems like it was a rush just to get the game over with. It has it's ups and downs and I have to say way more ups than there were downs. I've read some reviews of this game where the review gave it a 3 and I thought "What? This game gets a 9 at the lowest" but everything they picked on was true. I loved the game. You're on this planet with many environments to explore and creatures to fight. Tons of information to collect for back story. A plethora of items to collect and use at your disposal. Then the nice jams that come along with it (I enjoyed the Norfair remix myself). Of course this is my view. Others will that the game is endless wandering and item fetching with no story out side of the scans. That the music gets monotonous at times. And that the items are just lame. There is a lot of negativity about the controls. They are not perfect but they fit for the game. There is targeting so I never had a problem with trying to aim and move at the same time. This is a First Person game and from what I understand is that all control schemes are terrible unless it's a keyboard and mouse. The point that I'm trying to make is that it is impossible to make a game to please everyone. This is a 'Prime' example of a game that you either like or don't. There is no grey area. Here are the rest of the bosses.Omega Pirate Meta Ridley Metroid Prime
