"My Metroid Prime: Echoes review"

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.

I've already said, it was a spur of the moment thing. I *really* don't like waiting for things.

SR are doing it for £29.99 too are the not?

Yeh Stafio it's good point but I get incredibly annoyed when it doesn't come (I get that feeling about other things too but um..) and I have to wait ages. Which is why when I buy online I go on Gameplay as they do next day delivery. In my experience, that American River takes ages to deliver.

You could pull it out of a South American river, brand new AND cheaper.

And no P&P because it's over £19! :-)

What a rip off, my local Independant retailer sells the game for £32, and I still think that's too expensive!

It wasn't, it was £32, but I was there.. it was there.. You know how it is. I'd wanted it for ages.. it was calling out to me. Love at first sight of it's grubby, pre-used box.

Knowing EMAG's prices.

Meh, I hope to get the game soon.

Bidding on e-bay will stop and I'll just buy it with my Student Loan.

Along with a new Dreamcast. At least one that hasn't suffered stair damage.

EMAG.

You are in for a TREAT when you get to Sanctuary Fortress. Best level ever.

Metroid Prime Echoes was easily thebest game of 2004, ahead of Rome Total War. MMMMMMMMM

Where'd you pick it up second hand???
