Jamesadin 2002-12-11 07:02 AM

Thats kind of a setback.

GameCube 2002-12-12 05:20 PM

Jamesadin 2002-12-25 02:39 PM

I just got Metroid Prime today! BEST GAME EVER!

Xenn 2002-12-25 06:34 PM

I'm probably gonna buy Metroid Prime with the Christmas money I got, it'd better be good.

Tai 2002-12-28 09:40 AM

I've been playing it, not only is it an awesome game its LONG! It'd be dangerous to say anything more for sake of possibly spoiling it.

Sooo there. :]

GameCube 2002-12-29 07:15 PM

yea, i just beat the final boss, and im only at 75%. looks like i have some more playing to do!

quikspy67 2002-12-29 09:55 PM

yeah

Tai 2002-12-30 04:25 PM

I beat it at like 87% or something on norm, im goin through it again on hard :D

And btw hard actually IS hard. Which is a good thing.

Tai 2002-12-30 04:42 PM

Okay... since I've beaten the game and have some sort of unusual understanding of game design (ask chruser :D) Im gonna comment a little on Metroid Prime.

Everything works flawlessly. I've heard complaints about the controls being bad, and that you can't do this and that. Well, infact you can its just difficult, but beyond that points you don't *NEED* to be able to look and run and shoot all at once. The QA department did a superb job of making the game design fit seamlessly with the gameplay. And that gameplay aspect is what makes Metroid, Metroid. Its why Prime feels like the older metroids yet its 3D now. This is also the first first person game I've seen where you can (relatively speaking since I'm somewhat skilled at games) accurately jump around. In Turok you could also jump, however to be blunt simply jumping is the same with both games. The difference is that the game design works with Prime's gameplay, unlike a vast majority of other FPS games. There is a radar in the top left, though I actually never had to use it, it seems to work well if you're surrounded.

Other then that quick little babble, If you don't own Metroid Prime, GO GET IT! It's well worth the money.



I'm also going to get Zelda : Wind Waker when it comes out sometime in march. I've heard some incredibly good reviews about the JP Version that came out recently.


More Prime Babble : Something I'm probably most impressed with is the realistic seismics and motion 'thwacking'. If one of those tentacle critters thonks you, its very realistic in how the game throws you. And its different for ball mode and upright mode. Hell there are tremor effects in Prime, and that REALLY threw me for a loop. I've seen some games that do this, the big baddie falls on the ground and it makes a big thud and you go boing. It's the same thing in some cases, except the motions are just so much better. Heck i died in hard mode in magmoor when a rock fell from the cave ceiling, and its tremor knocked me off into the lava. Also, in the shore room with the ball track, the magmoor critter knocked me off the rail as well :p The 'Seismetics' are finest however in the second to last boss battle.

quikspy67 2002-12-30 05:05 PM

you go do that

Strider Fury 2002-12-30 05:06 PM

tried M.P over at a friend's house, and it isn't that great.

Jamesadin 2002-12-30 05:50 PM

Your right, Animal Crossing is better!

Tai 2002-12-31 11:30 AM

Hey jamesadin there's a waffle presser stuck on your avatar. http://www.animemultimedia.com/phpBB...hifty_eyes.gif

Think I'll go rent Animal Crossing.

Yes! Just beat it!

19:27 at 77%

That Fusion Suit (from Metriod Fusion) isn't all that great... no defense bonuses or anything. Bah..

quikspy67 2002-12-31 06:05 PM

how good is metroid fusion?

Kingof2v1 2002-12-31 06:51 PM

It sucks, and quikspy .. dont double post.. you have the edit button

quikspy67 2002-12-31 08:19 PM

fury double posted up there but no you only blame me

Jamesadin 2003-01-01 12:33 PM

Becuase you have a habit of doing it

BlueCube 2003-01-01 12:51 PM

Fusion is SHORT. It's a Metriod game, to be sure, but it's SHORT.

Beat it in about 5 and a half hours..

Tai 2003-01-01 01:18 PM

I think you could call fusion one of those "Short but sweet" games. ZOE for ps2 is another one of them.

HellSlayer 2003-01-01 01:30 PM

I dont like this game that much. It is a very hard game to play. If you want to buy it you should get the game guied.

Alpha_omega 2003-01-01 03:51 PM

i like both games...
never played them however, since they arnt out yet all the way over here...

Jamesadin 2003-01-01 04:12 PM

Oh yeah, you live in England dont you?

quikspy67 2003-01-01 08:51 PM

i've only played metroid prime

Hard to play? Okay now I think you're mentally inclined, or just plain stupid. The game is not difficult, the hardest part of the game is the latter areas of the mines. Everything else does a superb job of handling player growth and you should have no problem - unless you're an idiot of course., which in that case you probably shouldn't even be playing video games in the first place. :grin:

GameCube 2003-01-06 03:45 PM

and using a guide would ruin the game. the hardest part of the game is not the action, but the stategy needed to complete the game. (although some of the bosses are hard). if u need to use a guide to be able to beat a game, then u cant think for yourself.

Tai 2003-01-06 09:04 PM

Some of the bosses were almost impossible on normal, I have no idea how I'm going to get them on hard. x_x

sir.dennis 2003-01-10 11:49 AM

If u play it on ez and beat it, wouldnt it be kinda boring knowing what u are doing? Even though it is hard....
