This game is not as good as you'd probably expect, but still has a great amount of challenge and diffuculty.
The Bad: Pretty lame multiplayer; can get too hard and frustrating at times; missing some of the superb gameplay that the original prime had once
This will probably give you some suggestions, but not decisions. To sum this game up a little, this game is definitely overrated. This is because even though you'd probably see a bunch of superb reviews of this game, this game is missing some of the fantastic, superb, vivied gameplay that the original Metroid Prime once had. I've had some really diffucult experiences with this game, but still managed to beat it in a matter of a month or 2. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is no doubt one of the hardest games you'd confront in your life, as well as mine. At the beginning of this game, you play as Samus going to this half-light, half-dark planet by the name of Aether, and Aether is definitely more challenging and diffucult to be in than Talon IV. After Samus lands on Aether, you must explore around and face some challenges, and you walk into this place where a frigate has crashed. Soon afterward, the place is crawling with all these creatures and you must fight them off. As I soon later explored in this game, I discovered that I had to go into the dark version of Aether, in which you once get there, your Varia-suit is not able to handle the poisonous weather, and you have to travel to these light-chambers to protect yourself from the poisonous weather. Perhaps the poisonous-atmosphere feature of the game is probably one of the hardest. But the bad news is that you have to face bosses in this atmosphere, but soon after you beat some bosses, you'll be able to obtain suits that can resist the poisonous atmosphere somewhat. The main enemies of this game are called the Ing, in which they are these spider-like, mutated creatures that shoot beams and ram over you as there main weapons. But the real main enemy of this game is an alter-ego, or clone, of Samous which goes by the name of Dark-Samous. You must face Dark-Samous through a few moments of the game, but she gets trickier later on the game as you fight her. To sum up this game overall, this is perhaps a really complicated, hard game that might take you up to one to two months to beat, and the challenging Gameplay might ruin your experience by somewhat, but not by much. To warn you a little, the multiplayer perhaps feels pretty week. All you do in multiplayer is try to shoot the other player and get other upgrades throughout a small map, in which that isn't all that fun to do. Hopefully, this review may give a little advice before you go off and start playing Echoes.
