The Video Game Critic
The original Metroid was an NES favorite, and Super Metroid is considered by many to be the best game ever made for the Super Nintendo. Both supply top-notch platform shooting in creepy, isolated deep space environments. Bringing the series to the third

Making a sequel, in games or otherwise, is a very slippery slope to climb. Not only do you have to please fans of the original, but you also have to include enough to warrant an entirely new product. On top of that, you have to make it accessible to

In 1994 Super Metroid, a game considered by many to be the greatest of all time, was released on Nintendo's 16-bit machine the Super Nintendo. As Metroid fanatics watched the credits roll they were treated with a screen where the game read

The Laser
Eight long years have passed since her last adventure on the SNES but it's been well worth the wait. Metroid Prime begins with Samus' spaceship landing on a seemingly deserted space ship that's been over-run by some vicious and deadly alien life forms.

You start your adventure off right on the mysterious planet of Tallon IV. Take advantage of Samus's many powers using new suits that enable her to gain new abilities and revisit earlier worlds to uncover many hidden secrets. Do your best to explore each

Way back before teenage gamers had images of Lara Croft dancing around during their wet dreams, Nintendo introduced gaming’s first heroine, Samus Aran. But instead of outfitting her in daisy dukes and giving her lame excuses to prance around in a

Into Liquid Sky
It oozes with so much addictiveness that the storyline plays second fiddle and reminds you of a time when gameplay was an integral part of gaming. Put simply, this is one of the best games I have played in a long, long time.

Now, having finally gotten to play Metroid Prime, I am convinced that Nintendo has been holding back a key piece of Metroid mythology from us for all these years. While this can’t be substantiated, I am almost positive that Samus is really the great,

A shining example of how a classic videogame series can be vividly reborn. While taking an enormous amount of liberties with the original concept, it manages to zero-in on the spirit of the Metroid series and hit a resounding bull's-eye.

Metroid Prime's strengths are so overwhelmingly impressive that its minor faults quickly become an afterthought. It's quite simply a remarkable game, and a stunning achievement.

Perfect: from the Latin "perfectus"; entirely without fault or defect (flawless); satisfying all requirements; corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept; lacking in no essential detail... Add Metroid Prime to that definition.

The sense of being Samus is really found in the details. With just the right flash of light or glare against the visor, a thin, hazy reflection of Samus can be seen against the inner glass. It's quite cool... A fantastic, top-notch effort.

The best game to hit any system in the past few years. No game has captivated me more or been more fun than Metroid Prime in a very long time.

When people compare the graphical capabilities of next generation consoles, they essentially rate X-Box first; mostly because of its smash hit: Halo. Now Halo looked absolutely amazing, and Metroid Prime looks just as good, if not better. The

Looks as good if not better than the most cutting-edge PC games available. It's got a unique, cool as ice visual style and a soundtrack that should be winning awards. Most importantly, the gameplay is so finely tuned and tweaked as to be a sublime

When details of Metroid Prime were originally released, eight years of fan anticipation were instantly riddled with doubt and skepticism. Not a single gamer could say, with 100% certainty, that their beloved action-adventure series was going to come thru

want to get this out of the way. Prime is not a first-person shooter. The casual gamer might be quick to call it one, but it is dubbed a "first-person adventure" by Retro Studios and the diagnosis couldn't be more perfect. There is no multiplayer. There

When anyone hears the word Metroid or Samus, they automatically think of a great two dimensional shooter for such systems as Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Gameboy. Since then, Samus has been seen in only one game that was not two dimensional. This game

Rain falling and bouncing off your gun, a blast of steam fogs your visor and leaves condensation on it, a bright flash of light lets you see your own reflection in the visor. These are just a few of the many effects that make Metroid Prime stand out
