What is so great about Metroid Prime?

Seriously, I thought this was the boringest shooter game ever.
You have to scan stuff all the time, you run slow, the monsters SUCK...
There are hardly any monsters. They show up every 15 minutes you walk around.
Its just so darn boring.

someone please explain to me what is so fascinating about this game?

Have you actually played this game?

First things first, Metroid Prime is not a shooter game it's an action/adventure game. To answer you question, Metroid Prime is a great game because it has excellent level design, character design, sound, and gameplay.Crucifix_Angel

Metroid is a great game. That's a fact. Everyone likes different things though so just because lots of people like it, it doesn't mean you will too. For example, lots of people like the Pikmin games. I think they're crap.

My advice would be to give it another go but if you don't want to then just sell it. I don't want to buy it. I've already got it and I'll never sell my copy.

no, its not.

the Metroid gameplay is pretty much "Zelda....in the future!!"

It doesnt behave like a FPS, it has priority on exploration, puzzle solving and platforming, it has an open ended world, not broken into "levels" or "missions", in a way its not a "corridor shooter2 like most FPS are.

A half hour to beat the first boss oh wait trying to beat the first boss, you just are really bad at playin the game, maybe u are scared or something. that boss should take 5 min tops. Its a fun game, lot of exploring, pretty hard once u get into it.

damn I was thinking of getting this as a shooter for the gc oh well I like Zelda style games too

(by shooter I mean like Quake)

Because it's not your typical fps game. It's a fps adventure and it's all about the sense of exploration and finding everything.Yagr_Zero
