"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.

half the stupid game was spent throwing snowballs at turkeys in the snow. "gobble gobble gobble..." it still brings back nightmares.

Urgh, "memories".

I remember blowing £50 on South Park... psycho turkeys, weird cows, dodgy aliens... bad, BAD game.

On the other hand Echoes is brilliards. I've just got my boost jump back and saw dark Samus running away in that area filled with damn skanky metroids. All the Pirate information in the computers in this bit is great to read, and I'm loving the light world, but the damn Dark Aether is just a pain. As soon as I get there I just want to leave, I feel like I'm constantly in danger and it makes me uneasy. Addictive game though, it's even surplanted Rome for today, which is a mean feat. I'll see how the multiplayer holds up this evening.

Was a brief laugh in multiplayer.

And those damn imaginitive weapons.

Hats off to them.

"When I get that feeling I gotta sing"

playing South Park made me physically sick, when I realised that it had cost £50. Disgusting excuse for a game.

I felt physically sick during the battle.

It took just as long with cheats....

No, not as long as that monstrosity.

What a ridiculous boss that was.

Even bigger than Mega mega mega man in South Park 64???

That took me 3 hours.

Length of boss.

It's actually two in a row, but the second one was mega long alone.

Ooh, I'm loving this game... should tide me over until monday/tuesday when my DS arrives. :D

Living up to what I expected it to be so far, which is good.
