This game was awesome! It was the first Metroid game i've ever played (besides Super Metroid). The 3-D environment makes this game much different than any of the other Metroids. The first-person view is kinda hard to get used to, but after you play with it for awhile, you'll get used to it. There were many puzzles and places where you will have to think, but all the cool weapons, upgrades, etc. will keep you from getting board. The morph ball was extremely fun! There were a bunch of aliens, space pirates, and of course, Metroids to fight. The boss fights were especially good. The story line was a little deep, but if you read all of it, then it's awesome. The environments for each level/world were very cool, including ice, lava, and many others. Overall, I think this is one of the best Gamecube games yet. You should definitely check it out.

if you were stranded on a desert island and you could only take one Item.....this would be that item....seriously....this game turned a lot of non believers into...well believers. I for one always had hope for this game since it as announced alongside the gamecube. it's funny....the gamecube has become the system to turn around a lot of game franchises (resident evil 4, metroid, and the soon to be released LOZ:TP) I just hope nintendo keeps producing these innovating games

Metroid Prime has to be one of the top 5 games for gamecube. Metroid prime 2 is good too, but nothing beats the original. Crisp graphics, smooth game play, can this game get any better? well it does. Samus is back on another adventure, along your mission you get awesome upgrades; even that one where you roll up into a ball! Anyways, the game starts off pretty easy but the farther you get into the game the more difficult it gets. Metroid Prime is a beauty of a game and will remain one of the best for gamecube. Never played this game? GET IT NOW. You have a gamecube and u never played Metroid Prime!? How can you call yourself a gamer! This game is a keeper.
