Why is metroid prime so good?

I need a GC game to keep me busy until i find a new wii game that i want. so what was it that made metroid prime so good? the gameplay? graphics?

i heard the storyline wasnt too good, is this true> bc i dont like games without stories, which is why i lost intrest in metroid prime hunters for the DS.

so basically, what made it worth it? thnx

The atmosphere was incredible. Just standing on that one part of Phendrana Drifts looking over the area, unexplainable. Simply amazing. Retro really turned the classic 2D franchise into a spectacular 3D adventure. Personally, it's my favourite game ever.bluezy

It has the worst story line though. I play it a lot and still don't know what the heck is goin' onFPSjohn

I can't really specify, but I think it was that Nintendo trully hit the nail on the head for a good exploration game, where you actually thought you were in it. to all those who have played it, you can probably remember that feeling the first time through.

after you beat it the first time, then there is still other things to do. you can do a speed run(which is exhilarating!), you can get all the logs (which really tell a good story about the Chozo), you can get all the scans (which is extremely hard, but it rewards you with a sweet photo gallery), and finally you can collect all of the upgrades (the best is the iceberg for the ice beam).

hope this info helps! 

Everything. When you buy the game, try to find a single blemish. MrAran

the only single blemish is that when you beat it, you won't have the same experience when you play it again:(   , other than that there isn't a single major or minor thing wrong with it.

it just is.tantalus4

well why isn't it?

The gameply is great. Graphics are amazing (especially for gamecube). Story is good enough for me. Definitely better than hunters. There actually is a story in hunters if you go out of your way to look for it ;)FetacheeseGreek

the story works as a puzzle, Samus puts it together in her logbook. Between that and Chozo Lore, the Big Picture of whats going on on Tallon IV is discovered.

What made it worth it? Basically everything, read my review:

http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/metroidprime/player_review.html?id=145669

Its a great game, Atmospheric, Great graphics, Moody Sound, Intelligent Enemies (space Pirates), Epic Boss Fights, LOTS of exploration and hidden pick ups/power ups, lush environments and if you want it to have a good story it will (alot of people who faulted the story are the same ones who didnt take the time to scan and read the logs etc.).

But its not just that, its the little things like looking up at the sky in a loght drizzle and seeing rain drops accumulate on your visor, or having your visor fog up when yhou walk past a steam pipe... and the intelligent world design, the world centers around a central hub, making backtracking and such much easier as the path you take is recognisable and each area has its own theme (lava, ice, ruin etc.).

In conclusion it WAS the best game last gen for many reasons.

it is for the gamecube what ocarina of time was for the 64

if u own a gamecube u owe it to urself to find and buy this game

hands down the best game of last-gen
