I'm thinking of buying Metroid Prime since reading a review which gave it 7.9 out of 10
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 ?

THE MAIN REASON THIS GAME is soooo good.

Its because of the atmosphere it creates.

I will post my own review here soon :)

Yes, but they got lost in the move.

I'm trying to imagine FPS views in a ball, I could understand it perfectly well when it was side scrolling though.
AND HA! I owned Metroid and Super Metroid
*waits for someone to say they owned Metroid 2*

It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS. It's not a FPS.

Please read that 10x. People compare Metroid to the likes of Halo and GoldenEye - it shares NOTHING with these games bar the camera position. If you approach it expecting a FPS, you will be disappointed.

Approach it expecting Metroid in 3D, or without any expectations at all, and (I'm told) you will find the game of the year. I've not played it myself, and I will EXPLODE if it gets delayed any more, but the general consensus of those who've played it is that it's the best game on any current generation console.
