wow...metroid in 3d...not only in 3d, but in an FPS shell....but dont let that fool you, this game is an adventure game at heart!
having to collect items to prepare for the final battle, upgrade your equipment to explore new parts of the map, or just running around shooting things are about as adventure-gamey as it gets! while the game has an FPS shell, it is ultimately driven by its action/adventure core.
now along with this action/adventure core comes an amazing graphics engine. everything is beautifully created. i still look at this game and am so impressed by all the enemies, the backgrounds, the light and particle effects....geesh, its amazing!! the sounds are all beautifully created too...everything has a distinct sound, and when you turn surround on....woooweee....you are in heaven. the music can get kinda old when you are just walking around, as it is rather, well...not there...but when you get near enemies or get in a boss battle, you will be pumped up by it.
the GC controller fits this game perfectly, everything is made specifically to use every function of the controller...even the seemingly useless z button. locking on, strafing, and switching weapons is a breeze with how the controller is mapped and the control feels perfect.
if you havent picked this game up yet, or were waiting for the GC to go down in price, yet again, i highly HIGHLY suggest this be one of the first games you get as it is amazing...hey, it won game of the year at almost every videogame institution. you will definetly be hooked by the story and adventuring in this game, and will want to play it over and over again to make sure to see every facet of this game and to finish it with 100% complete.
