We've been so engrossed by the single-player game in Echoes that we haven't spent much time with its multiplayer component yet, but we're hoping that the available deathmatch and bounty modes will add a good deal of longevity to the game.

 

[Mashing]

I'm really glad to hear the SP mode is fantastic

 

[SantaC]

argh gamespot spoiled a big thing for me...

 

[Firest0rm]

DO I HEAR A 9.5 COMING?

 

[Eric-GCA]

Good news, hmm, they seem to have been able to get further through the game than Matt C. has, so they may have their review up before IGN.

Its too bad Nintendo couldn't release the game a bit earlier, but I guess they didn't want to put it directly up against Halo 2.

 

[Operations]

I' smell a 9.5

 

[Firest0rm]

I' smell a 9.5

Now we need someone to feel a 9.5. Who's up for that?

 

[En-ou]

9.3

 

[Culex]

It's either going to tie Halo 2 or get a 9.5.

 

[Soul4ger]

This will beat Halo 2.

 

[BlackSalad]

the boards will explode, I'm excited for this to unfold.

 

[Willco]

METROID PRIME 2 > HALO 2. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

 

[duderon]

I'm thinking 9.2

 

[Bishman]

9.6

What part of the preview was the spoiler in (or was it a screenshot?)... I want to read it but I don't want to be spoiled more than I already am.

 

[FoneBone]

Oh, god yes. Can't wait for even more idiotic conspiracy theories about Gamespot. If it happens, anyway.

 

[Code_Link]

Metroid Prime 2: Will score higher than Halo 2 on Gamespot, and probably in IGN too, or at least equal.

I hope this happens

GAF's reaction only makes it worth it

 

[Kandinsky]

9.0

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

My honest prediction: 9.3 or 9.2.

 

[Eric-GCA]

I'm guessing 9.6 though the lowest I think it would get would be a 9.4

Hmm, its gonna be tough, playing through this and Half Life 2 next week and trying to decide which one "I" like more.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Who cares about the score?

5 new movies. Dare I spoil?

 

[Eric-GCA]

damn, I keep forgetting that Gamespot is also putting up media

 

[Ronin]

Gamespot has already surprised me with higher than expected reviews with Pikmin 2, Paper Mario 2, and Mario Power Tennis. They could do it again with MP2.

 

[Deku Tree]

IGN: 9.9
GS: 9.5

 

[miyuru]

A score is one thing, but Halo 2 will always have more of a following than MP in regards to longevity because of the multiplayer, and that's something you can't take away from it despite a potentially lower score.

Nintendo fan that I may be, this is true.

lol, obviously. The score is meaningless to many of us, or it should be. But its gonna be a blast to see what happens at the other forums if MP2 gets a higher score .

 

[WarPig]

I beat the game last night. Or early this morning, really, two-ish.

DFS.

 

[Speevy]

I can't figure out IGN to be honest.


They're on this streak of referring to every Gamecube game as "Well so far it seems like more of the same, but we're not complaining. Fans of the original will know what to expect"

They said that for Pikmin 2, PM2, Mario Tennis, and now they're saying it for Metroid Prime 2. I smell a 9.4.

Anything unlocked? Yes or No. Do not spoil.

 

[WarPig]

Anything unlocked? Yes or No. Do not spoil.

Yes. And there are multiple endings.

DFS.

 

[Matlock]

What's the final boss? Is there an escape level, unlike the first one?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Endings with distinguisable differences or extended ending (like 1)?

 

[WarPig]

Yes.

You already did in another thread :/

 

[Speevy]

I can see it now. College students around the country "Hey man, we're having another Metroid Prime Echoes tournament. Let's lock and roll."

 

[Deku Tree]

Yes. And there are multiple endings.

Did you get the best one?

And can you unlock a retro metroid game? Metroid II? Or better yet Super Metroid?

 

[Kon Tiki]

You already did in another thread :/

I did? Mother Brain? I was making a joke.

 

[Speevy]

Super Metroid should sell Echoes to anyone. One of the best games ever.

 

[WarPig]

I can see it now. College students around the country "Hey man, we're having another Metroid Prime Echoes tournament. Let's lock and roll."

You could convert a GameCube case into a pretty cool-looking bong.

DFS.

 

[duderon]

ah, good.

 

[Memles]

Endings with distinguisable differences or extended ending (like 1)?

Yes.

How come nobody has picked up that he specifically didn't answer this question in the least?

 

[speedpop]

Super Metroid unlocked? WHA??

 

[Deku Tree]

How come nobody has picked up that he specifically didn't answer this question in the least?

It's probably extended endings with distinguishable differences just like other Metroid games.

 

[Culex]

Super Metroid unlocked? WHA??

Warning: Reading too deeply.

 

[WarPig]

Super Metroid unlocked? WHA??

Where did that rumor get started, anyhow?

DFS.

 

[speedpop]

I'm trying to re-ignite it

 

[WarPig]

Speak of the Super Metroid and, sadly, it will still not appear.

DFS.

 

[Mashing]

There is only one reason why they wouldn't put Super Metroid in as an unlockable. It's going to appear on their handhelds (DS or GBA).
