I heard you purchased Metroid Prime.

So then, are'nt you going to tell us what its like? This is a game I really want a Gamecube for, It looks so frickin amazing! After finding out you can make Samus Aran turn into a ball (in certain parts of levels?) just looks so cool!

Explain yourself.

its very clever! i think it must predict when you are about to muster up the courage to roll blindly through the dark hole into the next vast open spaced room full of irritating bugs that pop out of the ground!
lol, or its just a very well made game,, i think my first idea is best!

What is still stumping me is how the hell the game doesn't need any loading.

I jump into new areas, I run, I morph! And nothing. Only the bloody chilled whirrr of the silver machine.

It just baffles me.

Also, another great thing is you get to keep what you have found and use it later on.

I have the night vision HUD, but I really bloody want to get to the collection of the heat sensor and navigation HUD.

I will buy it again once its released PAL for my Gamecube.

I love my Panasonic Q - That is the best of all gadgets ever.

I have no time to talk about it.

Rest assured I prefer this game to Halo, the environment it creates. The no loading times. The general feel and the fact it places Super Metroid from the Super Nintendo into 3D. I am not even ten hours into it and yet I love it. I stand there within the game with my mouth open. Thinking, 'this just feels right'.

Seriously though... NEVER BEFORE has a game been so atmospheric. It creates something and takes you in. This is one of the best games I have ever played, if not the best in its genre by far. Multiplayer? Who gives a crap. You mates will just watch and leave their mouths open, as mine have.

This game is just perfect. Love the intelligent AI too. Great fun.

'I'm the Ball.. nono.. I'm a bomb....'

Muhhahah
