An excellent Metroid game reviews for Metroid Prime

An excellent Metroid game

Even though Metroid Prime received negative criticism for having the first-person perspective when people seen the trailer, but it is one the best games that the GameCube has to offer. It's the first game in the Metroid Prime Trilogy story line wise.The plot is that Samus picks up a distress signal from the Space Pirate space station called frigate Orpheon where the crew were killed by their own genetically modified subjects. She meets and defeats the Parasite Queen, one of the Space Pirates experiments. The space station's self-destruct sequence is Samus defeats it and it fell in the reactor core. While escaping, Samus see Meta-Ridley, a cybernetic version of Ridley, who escapes also. An electric surge and explosion damage Samus' suit causing some of her items like the charge beam, the Morph ball, and the Varia Suit to malfunction. When Samus escapes, she see Meta-Ridley and run to her gunship and follow him to Tallon IV, a planet that's nearby.

Samus has to find 12 Chozo artifacts to get in the Impact Crater. You can scan creatures, Pirate data, the Chozo artifacts, Research, and Chozo lore. There are a lot upgrades in Metroid Prime like missile packs, energy tanks,The Varia suit and other. You will start the power beam and you will find the wave beam, the ice beam and the plasma beam. Each beam has upgrades call beam-missile combos which are called the Super Missile (power beam upgrade), Wave Buster (wave beam upgrade), Ice Spreader (ice beam), and the Flamethrower (plasma beam upgrade). To use one of the beam, you can press up (power beam), right (wave beam), down (ice beam), and left (plasma beam). To use one of the beam-missile combos, hold down the A button then press the Y button at the cost of missiles. You can lock on the enemies bhy holding the L shoulder button. The wave buster and flamethrower will drain the missiles quickly. You will start with the combat visor and the scan visor and you will pick up the thermal visor displays a thermal image and allows you to see in the dark, and the X-Ray visor which uses X-Rays to produce an image that helps Samus locate invisible or timespace-warping enemies and see behind walls. You can select a visor by pressing up (combat visor), left (scan visor), down (thermal visor), or right (X-Ray visor) on the d-pad. All of the items and weapons you will pick up are spread out in Tallon IV. The main bosses are the Parasite Queen, Flaahgra, Thadrus, Omega Pirate, Meta Ridley, and two forms of Metroid Prime. There are different sub-bosses between the main bosses except between Meta Ridley and Metroid Prime. Tallon IV, like Zebes in Super Metroid, is a huge planet and it will take you at least between 3 to 4 hours to complete. I like that Metroid Prime is compatible to the Game Boy Advance and you will need Metroid Fusion for Game Boy Advance to unlock the Fusion suit and the original Metroid.

The graphics are awesome and they have aged well and the design of Metroid Prime is very good too. The controls are superb and it holds it own when you compare it to the controls of other first person shooters. It has one of the best soundtracks in the Metroid franchise and it is fun to listen to. Overall, Metroid Prime is the second best game in the series and one of the best games for the GameCube.
