"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.

You think that was bad, I just did the Spider Ball boss... now that was crap.

Alpha Blogg was the rubbishest boss ever. To be honest, the bosses so far have all been pretty rubbish, I want a room filling robot or something (yes, i know), not just beefed up versions of regular enemies.

Just beat the Chykkha... what a pain in the ass that was. Still, I did it first time, which makes me feel even worse about the damn Alpha Blogg.

Bah.

Whaha, I did it! Whoo.

Well I suppose Mario would actually have to have a storyline to get screwed up in the first place.

I'm still right though, Retro have ****ed this up. Now get out of my thread you cockjockey.

WS you're wrong, I wouldn't care of Mario turned into a carpet fitter, or if Link turned into a girl at that matter.

Game's a game consistancy error or not.

Yes it ****ing does matter.

You'd mind if, with no explanation, in the next Mario game Mario was actually a carpet fitter who wore sequined flares and a ten gallon hat.


What they've effectivly done is to rape the storyline, character and history of Metroid in the ass, over and over again.

I'm sure it matters... not at all.

1) When they cacked it up in Zero Mission where she loses her suit
2) When she dies in the 2D games
3) As a bonus for completing the original 3 games in very quick times, but it's NOT part of the storyline or game.

I've seen Samus without her suit before... I know I have.
