I'm the biggest Metroid Prime whore around. When I die, I would like to be buried with it. Best game this generation easily, and also one of the top 5 games of all time!
I thought the first half was easy, but the second was on the hard side. My hands were sweaty and sore from the final boss after 3 tries and something like 2 hours (those rooms before it are a bitch due to certain creatures...). I didn't consider going to hard mode after that.
Although my hands were sweaty, it was the most brilliant controller scheme for any pad I've ever felt. Everything flew naturally, but there was so much to do.

You could have played the single-player at Comicon this weekend as much as you wanted. It was being completely ignored in favor of RE4.

1% ... hehe Like I said, I just started.
Actuallly, I wasn't looking forward to RC just because of the HUD... plus I didn't really like R6III all that much. So the combination of the 2 really caused a lot of disinterest. Battlefront will be the Star Wars game to own
It does take some getting used to, and I know most GAF members will disagree, but I think a traditional FPS control scheme would have made the game even better. I find myself traveling in ball mode a lot. One, because it's easier and two, because it looks so damn cool.

I didn't find it hard, but I'm in the identical boat...except I've had it for more than a year and a half.
The Impact Crater isn't hard, just annoying and frustrating to me. And, knowing how the game ends, I don't exactly feel like I need to finish that needlessly complicated part, when I played the rest of the awesome game.

I love the game but I was getting frustrated too because I die many times by the hands of the tall monster in the lab (forgot the name) and every attempt on clearing the lab will involve a long traversal segment and by the time I get to the lab, I lost most of my health. I wish there are safe points in between. I will get back to this game eventually. The thing is, I die so many more times in Ninja Gaiden but I tough it out however MP doesn't has that charm that pull me through the numerous retries.

Zelda will be released in 2005 and won't be appreciated on this board till late 2006.

If you've only played 1%, I don't understand how you could say things like:
"I guess that my only real minor complaint has been the difficulty level. It seems really easy."
"By far my favorite GC game. I don't understand why MP sales aren't equal to or greater than Halo, because this is definitely a must have GC title."
Me too... I thought it was cool at the beginning too, but then my interest disappeared. People say Zelda WW is the best GC title, but they only say it before they've been forced to hunt those triforce pieces.Kiriku said:
Anyway, it's he's opinion but I don't understand how he can compare it to a game like Halo, especially with such a low playtime. Play it for 5h or so then come back and say what you think

You really must be weaksauce, i mean i have the pal version which is much harder and i can count the number of times i died in the whole game with the number of fingers in my hand.....
But some of the truly combat intensive ones were awesome to acquire!Mrbob said:
The multi was the only part of the game I played. Didn't play anything else of the game (Metroid games are so short.. I didn't want to ruin anything ahead of time. It's not like RE4 where it's the beginning of the game and YOU WILL DIE at some point in it).
There's gonna be new moves too. I talked to someone who said that they might leave some undocumented so you can find secret combos and moves on your own.

Well, even when starting games like Halo, there is some difficulty. Like I said, I expect it to ramp up and by the sounds of it, it gets very difficult.
How long do I have to play to accurately quantify my opinion? I've had more fun with the hour I've played with MP than I did with all of the time I spent on Zelda. Hell, I had more fun with Sphinx and the cursed Mummy than I did with SMS. I love sci-fi though, and this game really meshes with me.
I've never done that before... and I've given praise to GC games in the past. I was one of the few Sonic Heroes supporters when it first came out. A good game is a good game no matter what platform you primarily game on.

I played about 10 hours of it and stopped. Never finished it. My favorite games on the Cube were Wind Waker and Super Smash. Mario Kart was pretty good too.
I didn't like certain things about Metroid, mainly the controls. The graphics though were some of the best this gen.

One word of advice I like to give to anyone new to the game is to avoid gamefaqs. Sometimes you'll think to yourself, "Shit why couldn't they just put a platform here so I can reach that door." But some of the solutions are quite cool and you'll probably be glad you figured it out by yourself. I lent the game to all my friends and they all returned it too early because they got stuck somewhere. Their loss I guess.
Another thing to keep in mind is when all else has failed, switch visors. I discovered some of the coolest things just by following that rule. And put up the volume. That's a good rule #2. The observation/discovery part is what made the game so memorable for me. Either that or circle strafing around enemies to blast them in the ass. Just wait 'till you get the fire weapon and start backtracking through Phendrana Drifts. Good luck with the rest of the game.
edit: The items in the game emit a low humming sound. That's why I said putting up the volume is a good idea (in case u didn't already know.) I wish I had figured that out sooner.

Nope, all 3 games are outstanding.
Mario was only let down by the blue coins. great game.
If only F-zero wasn't so frustratingly hard.
