"Metroid Prime- Just to discuss the game"

Yet another Metroid game, and all lets hope it is as good as the last. Also I personally hope that it can better the great game for GBA, which I recently have completed.

Metroid first hit the shelves in 1986, on the nez, which I own (It's great), with its "Fantastic" graphics that all metroid fans have grown to love.

For those of you that didn't know Samus, the star of the game, is infact a girl. That power suit she also wears 6 foot 2 tall, and weighs 90kg, fact.

Also in the game Super Metroid, there is a monster called Ridley, a nod to film director Ridley Scott.

If you have any interesting facts, or just want to talk about Metroid, feel free to post here.

I will reveal more facts later, I have a few more

Scotland got a release today, which is pretty strange. Well, I did, but other people here (Cookie Monster and a couple of others) didn't get it, but I did, and I live in Glasgow, so if it can get here for the release date, and it doesn't get to some place in England, you've either got a very poor postal area of the game hasn't been sent.

I am happy. :-D

Metroid Prime's ok... but so far I've found it disappointingly unspectacular.

why is it overated?

It's great.

It's not an amazing game that everyone must own, like the magazines have made it out to be, but it's still really good.

I'm expecting I'll get more involved as time goes by in the game and I get more used to it.

I think u need to have played the original snes and nes metroid games to REALLY enjoy metroid prime, cos there are so many things relative to them, even the music. I think this has got to be one of the best games ive ever played, and ive played a lot. The controls are superb, graphics excellent and gameplay simply genius. Imagine a multiplayer option, I cant wait for the next one!!!

well said, i totaly agree with you

Did u no that metroid was one of the first games ever to feature a password save system, by the time of the sequal, nintendo had introduced battery back-up

Did u no the numbers at the start of each game reveal the super metroid and fusion and the third and fourth episodes in the metroid saga. Prime is the start of a new series, but we hope a 2d metroid 5 turns up soon
