Many of you may have clicked on this topic with shock (if you know me). Personally, my favorite game of all time has been Secret of Mana on the Super Nintendo. This game I played with my brother and sister till we completed it was just something in its own right. Three players all on one screen in a beautiful RPG... anyways, enough on that game... something has taken the number one spot for my favorite game of all time.
Remember when you played SNES games in 2D, the sidescrollers as it were and you just thought... it will be incredible when they create 3D... Now, many a gamer is crying like a big overgrown bottled baby (bit too far their Joby) to get the system reversed in such a way that 2D gaming elements are used to make the modern games.
With all these beautiful looking 3D games. People have forgotten what gaming is about.
*takes a big breath*
Metroid Prime is the best game ever.
That's my opinion and now I want you to hear me out.
If anyone ever tells you its the best First Person Shooter ever I want you to correct them. Metroid Prime is not an FPS as like Halo was. Metroid Prime is a First Person Adventure. Prime has captures everything that made the SNES games so damn bloody good into a 3D game. Its created its own hybrid genre. Its the next generation of console games. Forget Zelda and the 40/40. Prime is where the future of gaming is and you should get your monkey loving finger onto the games details and preorder one from SR now.
It seems to me the game has managed to go beyond what Halo set as a standard for a visual where you enter the visor and look around. No doubt, Halo was a fantastic game. Superb in its own right. Yet Metroid seems to sit on Master Chiefs face and place Samus as the King and to be correct Queen of all games. I ran around Halo thinking, this just looks superb, even the repetitive grass patches were forgiven. Nintendo, no sorry, Retro have taken a huge lit cigar and burnt it through the mold set by Bungie. Nothing is repeated. Everything is unique.
Worst control set up ever?
Many of you will get this game. If you don't I feel tempted to smash ur fac wit stik. When you get the game. I expect to hear a huge amount of shouts about how stupid the control set up is, you cannot run and freely look around at the same time. Well, if you think about it. You are in a huge armoured suit, when you spend a few hours in the game. It feels natural. You adapt to this strange and original set up and you WILL agree that it was meant this way. Come to think of it, surely if this is what would happen in such a suit. Bungie made a big mistake in terms of realism.
The atmosphere created sends realday time into a spin. You become emerged, just like a good book and when you place the control down you scratch your eyes at why five hours has gone past.
This game is beyond everything I expected. At one point it was just a game that looked good. I never expected it to be a game that made me remember what gaming is about.
Metroid has restored my faith in gaming. This style better continue. Its a game you never want to end. You don't feel rushed to complete it and you definetely will find yourself completing it more than once. Me? I am on my first time around. I just stand their watching the shadows and changing my visor.
I just stand there.
This is 'the game'. It deserves its own machine.

God that game sounds (and looks, thanks to NOM dvd) excellent!
When is it expected in the UK? Otherwise i'm importing it. What about the "ball" thing where you turn Samus into a ball?
Are the graphics good?
Halo is my most favourite game of all time, Excellent FPS in my opinion. If this game can beat that i'd eat some pins.

Nintendo ruling the world.
That'll.
And for my loyalty, they'll give me, let me see, pick of the beautiful girls and a few billion.
*wakes up*
Damn.

Hmmm, I think Retro are also helping Sega with FZero.
Thats what I reckon.
I also would say Retro are going to be apart of MEGATON!! Whatever that is. :P

If you rate Nightfire over Metroid, I hold you no respect.
to be honest, and i will get slated for this, i dont rate metroid prime as highly as i wanted it to be!
it has actually dissapointed me somewhat, the controls, the views, it just doesnt feel "right"
i know it isnt technically a FPS but i would have preferred it to be.
with proper use of both C and analogue sticks, one for moving and one for looking.
apart from that it is a good game and theres tons to do!!
i suppose i have just grown accustomed to FPS like Halo and Nightfire
