I'm going to get Metroid Prime 3 Saturday and I was wondering if I would need to know the story of Metroid Prime 2.I beat Metroid rime and really enjoyed it,but never did play MP 2.Thanks for any help.
nah, i never played the 2nd one and i bought the third one and it's awesome. you can handle the game without playing the second game. if you are a big metroid nut fan, then you should.
They dont make games that force you to have played a previous version to understand the storyline... it's just bad marketing. Besides, "shoot everything" is a pretty international language.
Yes you do. There is an exam at the beginning of the game, consisting of 45 multiple choice questions and 4 essay topics (2 of which you will choose), concerning the story of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. If you fail, the disc malfunctions, the Wii cuts it up into triangular shards, and it shoots them out at you, most likely killing or injuring any and everybody in the room. It happened to my cousin. It was a sad day for gaming...

No, Not really but if you have yet to play it then i think it would be a good buy...but i think MP1 is much better then MP2, so if you are just after a good game play MP1.
IMO, 1 is the best game, story-wise, and game-play wise.
2 is equal story wise, but its hard as my... skull, and its really not that fun.
3 is great story wise, but its a bit easy, and doesnt really feel like the other 2 games. I bought it though, and its REALLY fun. Its the best control-wise.
MP2 isnt nearly the game MP1 is. the only thing you miss by not playing MP2 is Dark samus battles and that story. 2 of the dark samus battles in MP2 are really good.
If it wasn't for the fetch quest at the end of Prime 2, it'd be my favorite. It's got better boss battles than the first, and some cool enviornments and graphics. I'd recommend playing it, but it isn't that important.
I think you should play Echoes, of course is not absolutely necesary to undesrtand MP3 or enjoy it, but if you already play the first, then go for all of them. I'll like more Echoes than Prime, i think it got a little more action and is much harder than MP1 and the boss are awesome, but all are exceelnt games, so... get all of them and enjoy the best game on the Wii until now.
Prime 2 was almost a side-quest of sorts in the scheme of the Prime series IMO, the only important thing that happened in Prime 2 that impacts Prime 3 actually happened AFTER Prime 2 already ended, as noted by some of the scanning you'll do in Prime 3. If you beat Prime 1 all of the way you'll already find out about Dark Samus.
