This thread has been linked to the game 'Metroid Prime'.
I know it's not hot news, but I only got it last week, (after being very busy with other things).
I can honestly say I think it's the finest game I've ever played on any format, and an absolute joy, so well crafted, and such a well designed, complete environment.
So much detail, and so much much fun.

I thought Metroid $U><0rEd.
Both rule.
I found Zelda: The Wind Waker a lot more enjoyable.
Metroid Prime.
Lame backtracking, lame final boss, lame jumping.
The rest of it impressed me.

Send your copy to me then. I dropped hot wax on mine.
I won't explain any further, I'll let you come to your own conclusions.

I agree about the backtracking, cos even going through the same sections over and over, they somehow (through very clever use of varied enemies, and different routes) kept it fresh.
And the farther you get, and more routes are open, the less backtracking you have to do.

Ah, but going into rapid fire mode alone was worth it.
Metroid Prime was a great game, though it was also tedious in places.
Oh how I hated fighting that gay Metroid Prime boss at the end, stupid thing just kept coming back for more. I was a gibbering wreck by the time it finally died, surely one of the hardest most drawn out boss battles ever?
Certainly ranks up there with the final boss on Jet Force Gemini.
