This is my review of the MP2 box.
Initially the box is a standard affair, black rectangle, opens like a book, has a thingy inside to clip the disc on etc. But the similarities stop [roughly] there. Cast a quick eye across the front of the box and you'll notice something; this box is different, this box is new, this box is the future, this box is EXTREME TO THE MAX!!
Why so amazing? It's holographic! The front features a large picture of Samus looking awesome, with a big faded-into-the-background picture of a Chozo. The background is all shiny, as is the game title and logo. The back holds yet further treats; pictures of two new aliens, some screenshots and even more awesome holographic shinyness. Also while looking at it from any number of different angles, you can witness stunning blanketed rainbows eminating from the silky surface.
In summary then:
Strengths
- Holographic!
- Shiny!
- Awesome 'new box' smell
- Easy to remove wrapping
- Fantastic artwork
- Rainbows!!!!
- Writing on back in English and French (Canadian box)
- SHINY SHINY SHINY!!!
Weaknesses
NONE!
I give this box 10/10.
umm..review of the game like, later or something...whatever.

Got the Dark Beam - the environments are brilliant, muchos better than Primes, especially the Pirate labs. That's hardly a spoiler, as there's always Pirate labs
Gah I so want the game. Damn my lack of money.
This is the first big release I've not been able to buy.

Played it more today, and I adore it now.

Unfortunatly they've done the same old trick for the first game, as you get near to the end you have to collect some key items, each of which adds about 6% to your completion percentage.
It's the same length as the first, about 15 hours if you go for everything.
