Problem is - I'm not a fan of first person shooters ( prefer third person )
Also - I haven't played any of the previous Metroid games
I like puzzle games - Zelda , Mario - and enjoyed Shadowman on the N64 and Eternal Darkness on the GC
Can anyone give me an unbiased view of Metroid ?
Anyone know where I can catch a video of it on the net ?

i agree it is good, and its HUGE
but to say it will beat halo 2 i dont agree!
one main reason, multiplayer! where is it?!!?
halo is renowned for mulitplayer action!
metroid prime has none!
zip, nada!!
why not?
its still great but the controls are so annoying sometimes! especially in combat!
you get used to it but i still get frustrated whn a ting on the ceiling is shooting me and i have to stop, let it shoot me more while i look up to shoot it!
yes it is good but it could have been so much better!!
the control system is temain let down, not being able to look about while moving may not sound too bad but when you play it youll know what i mean!
resi 0 is amazing, the gameplay and the levels and puzzles are everything youd expect froma resi game!
new, ingenious and sometimes extremely taxing!!

I saw the ad as well. The graphics look well nice but, of course, this may be because of the TV screen.
Wanna see the FF one.
AND I WANT METROID!
WAAA!
