Which is better? Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

So I played the first one and after a long while, finally beat it. I really enjoyed the game but found it kind of challenging.I haven't picked up the second one yet though. Is it better or worse than MP 1?

IMO Mp1 was way better.

Why? Well it had no storyline.

You might find this stupid, Why would having no real storyline makes the game better?

Simply put, because its like you're dumped off on a totally unknown planet and you must survive. I really like that.

MP2 was good, but I liked the first better.

Both are amazing games and should be played by every Cube owner. But I felt the first was slightly better since it was paced better, had better enviroments, etc.

they are both magnificent games and in personal opinion anyone who owns a gamecube or now owns a wii should buy it. there are only some things that bug me with the first and second game. overall i think the first is better because the game just leads off on thing to the other spontaneously. as if you are just trying to get ur stuff, clean up the mess and get on with your life. as of to the second game, it is a great game but the whole system of collecting 3 keys to open the boss room in each are you reach is alittle repetetive if you ask me. fresh gameplay is in each game and they are both similar but if a game needs to be raised in success and overall better, it would have to be the first game due to its originality and the feeling that you dont know when you will beat the game until it hits you.

all these posts are turning me off from ever playing the second part. I just skipped straight to the third.Casiotech

Well then you are missing out because MP2 was an excellent game. It did many things better than MP1 and was much more challenging and had better bosses.

It's just that the pacing wasn't as spot on as the first game, the environments weren't as memorable, and the dark/light world thing was very unoriginal.

I'd actually rate them very closely. Many things MP1 does better and many things MP2 does better. But overall I give the MP1 the nod. Both should be played though.

I thought Prime 2 was superior than Prime 1 in a lot of ways: level design, boss battles, challenge, environments.

Prime 2 doesn't get enough lovin' imo. Its suchan amazing game.

That's the thing, I like snow and watery levels. Levels that are dark like Metroid Prime final level I don't like because firstly, I couldn't even see where i'm going unless I play at night.

I thought it was good, not great, but great for $12.
