| The sequel to Metroid Prime, one of the greatest Gamecube games ever made, couldn't possibly be better than its predecessor, could it? Well, in my opinion, it could. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is absolutely brilliant. The graphics are excellent, the gameplay is great, and there a lot of new features. Now, Samus has travelled to the planet of Aether, following a distress signal from a patrol troop. When she arrives, all of them are dead, killed by a mysterious enemy. She soon finds a member of the ancient Luminoth race that lives on this planet, and learns of Dark Aether, home of the evil Ing. Dark Aether is a mirror of Aether, only it has a poisonous atmosphere, and is home to the hostile, shape-shifting Ing. This wouldn't be a problem, if Dark Aether wasn't siphoning energy from Aether itself. Without Samus's help, the planet will be destroyed. |
