Metroid Prime

Story/Theme
the storyline fabricators vividly transfered the essence of Metroid from platform (side-scrolling) to 3D and expanded the imaginative splendor
of the epic of Samus fully living up to the reputation. a striking balance between expounding into new realms, ie: new world
names, themes, weapons, uglies, bosses, etc., while retaining familiar Metroid tokens, ie: overall idea, many original (metroid1:nes)
uglies, and original weapons & manuevers. obviously wonderful planning, layout, and implementation which ultimately lead to the exquisite success of Metroid Prime.

Graphics/Soundtrack
beautiful graphic maps, smooth as silk rendering, and brilliant effects, all come together to show what GameCube is really capable of.
few games compare to the fine level of detail awaiting you in the lush and fertile digital realm of Tallon IV.

Gameplay/Replay
the seemless integration of control tutorials into the game is straight-forward and easy to learn. the progress of difficulty throughout the various realms is quite appropriate for the average gamer, giving the feel of steady gradual advancement. each new realm provides compounding complexity and depth which keep your interest in the plot. once the game is completed, the hard option becomes available, or you can keep playing to fill in the full 100% of items, either of which are worthwhile for replay. overall fluidity and completeness.

Bonus Features/Extras
included with the game is an image gallery (viewable only after 100%). if you have a gameboy advance (sp), connection cable, and a metroid fusion game you can access a bonus graphic map for samus' varia suit which looks like the suit worn in metroid fusion. if your metroid fusion game is complete you will gain access to the original metroid for nes!

Overall
wonderfully exquisite experience
