After playing this game I have come to the comclusion that this is one of the greatest games of all time. I was worried when I heard that Metroid would make its debut as a FPS, but my worries quickly dissipated when I began playing the game. The controls take some getting use to due to the fact that you control with only one analog, but once you get the hang of it you will be greatly rewarded. The visuals are stunning, some of the best you will find on a console game, and the sound is great as well. The aspect of the game that impresses me the most, however, is the way that the feel from the classic 2D Metroids was obtained in this 3D version. All the exploration is back. You must find power-ups that will expand your health and missile capacities, and new weapons such as power bombs and plasma beam must also be uncovered. Metroid Prime is truly one of the elite games out there. It would truly be a shame to miss it.
