Have you played Metroid Prime?

Yes. It's one of my favorite games ever, unfortunately if got a little worse with each sequel and I really didn't like the new, more action packed direction that 3 went with. If you haven't played them, you should immediately pick this up

Yes I played it and I hated it

I own and have played all three.

I've played the first about 8 or 9 times through. I've played the second about 3 or 4 times through. And I've played the third once through. My favourite is the second, and I'd say in terms of complete package quality, the second is also the best (music, atmosphere, story, items, areas, bosses, difficulty, etc.).

The first is a fantastic remake of Super Metroid in 3D but the second took everything good about the first and made a "new" area for Metroid, instead of recycling all the old areas with new names (hell, even Magmoor Caverns had the Lower Norfair theme from SM).

The third however, in terms of graphics and controls was a step up from the second, but in every other case (adventure, replayability, non-linearity, puzzle solving, platforming, etc.) it was a step down. It became more of a "shooter" than a first-person action-adventure with shooting elements. And was also a pretty big disappointment when I heard that there was going to be a full voice cast and not only were the characters incredibly one-dimensional and shallow, but Samus still didn't talk. It felt like they were trying to get with the times, but ended up getting with the mid-1990's times instead of 2007.

Here's hoping Other M is going to be good... but it could go either way. I'm still waiting for a full 2D, Wii Metroid: Fusion sequel... but that's not going to happen. Which is why I've got Shadow Complex to fill the large hole I've had for 2D speed-running games.

This is what I don't like about "new Nintendo". They are dumbing down all of their big franchises. Metroid Prime was one of my most favored games of all time. But they ruined everything in terms of exploration, puzzles, the beams (don't get me started on the beams!). They just dumbed down the game.. made it simpler, so that the casual market could "jump in". I hate it. I despise it. I LOATHE it. I just hope to Steven Seagal that they don't screw up Zelda Wii. Pump up the damn difficulty!

Uh were the MP games reallythat hard to begin with. I mean seriously. The only time that really challenged me was proboly the final boss. Oh and i got lost in MP2 cause the stupid light and dark crap. That was such a lame concept for MP. My favorite MP games are 1,3 then 2. MP3 felt fine to me. I still felt i was exploring a big planet.

Metroid Prime 1 is one of my favourite games. Had MP2 and MP3. Both where good but not as good as MP1. Also have played Super Metroid and Original Metroid and also Fusion.

The Metroid series has been one of the best series of games Nintendo have made/produced. Long may it continue. :D

I'm just curious whether there are any people here who haven't played all of the games in the Metroid Prime trilogy. I am really interested to hear if anyone hasn't played ANY of the Metroid Prime trilogy games...Fried_Shrimp
