Metroid Prime is a hard and sometimes confusing game, but if you like those elements, this game is for you...

Metroid Prime was one of those Gamecube titles I decided to pickup at $15 after hearing of it's greatness. After playing a few hours, I found myself kinda bored and confused. The game itself is awesome, best graphics in any game ever made...mind you this is a Gamecube title! I really wanted to get into this game, but I really couldn't. Enemies are sometimes hard to fight, and right in the beginning of the game, you get caught in a huge mess ( I'm not going to mention, because I will spoil the game ) ...and sometimes, I just wanted to go do something else instead of playing this game.
For all of you Metroid Junkies out there, don't grab your pitchforks and torches and go after me...please. I truly expected this game to be worth a total 9.7/10, but its just not! In my opinion, Metroid Prime 2 seemed more interesting to me than the original. Heh, this game is put together awesomely, with awesome boss fights and cool upgrades to Samus, but I just couldn't find the fun when I played this game.
Right now If you own a Gamecube, I would buy this game, it is only $5 now, and it is a great game. I never got into the Metroid series, so I don't really enjoy the newer titles. Metroid fans should already have this game, and if you don't, you should probably go get it asap cause you people would love it...

    Metroid started out as a side scrolling adventure. Now Retro studios and Nintendo have changed the side scrolling legend to an awesome game in Metroid Prime. The game isn’t a side scrolling shooter. Retro studios ... Read Full Review
