Product Details of Metroid Prime GCN

Description

Take aim at adventure gaming and sci-fi shoot-'em-up thrills as bounty hunter Samus Aran rockets her way to Nintendo GameCube and planet Tallon IV. The venerable Metroid series starring Samus exploded onto the scene in 1986, and two sequels later, fans still haven't gotten enough. Doing justice to the original, the developers at Retro Studios charge full-speed ahead with a brand-new ballistic adventure that comes heavily armed with high-caliber gameplay, including first-person adventuring as seen through Samus's combat, scan and other high-tech visors. Loaded with classic weapons from the previous Metroid games and an arsenal of all-new weapons, Metroid Prime is an adrenaline-charged alien-blasting adventure that's worth setting your sights on.

Nintendo Metroid Prime

Strengths: Best FPS out for the Gamecube

Weakness: Save Points, Controls, Tough Bosses

Nintendo Metroid Prime for the GameCube is the premier FPS game for the system. It's basically like the Halo for Gamecube without the multiplayer. You play the role of a some type of outer space bounty hunter and with the help of your guns and other gadgets you make your way through levels by either blowing things up or solving puzzles. The game is a lot of fun, but expect to be frustrated at...

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: Fast action, Nice graphic and sound mix, cool story line with gameplay toughness progress while you advance.

Weakness: Although the FPS game are fun, it gets kinda same old same old feeling after while.

Over all, it is a fun filled, fast action FPS game. But I guess it is me that gets bored over same thing over and over.

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: Everything is totaly SWEET the graphics, the gameplay, the controles, the Exlusive desighn of the creatures, JUST PLAIN EVERYTHING.

Weakness: I cant say that there is any weakness at all.

This is the ultimo game ever and it just plain out loud beats every game i ever played. It's like one of those special games that sticks with you forever, i mean once i got it i couldn't put the controller down and every spare second i had went to Metroid Prime. It is an alltime hit and the best first person, shooting, adventure, puzzle game ever and i don't see how anybody could not like it.

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: Best first person shooter ever

Weakness: None

This might be the best game ever... no Zelda and Mario are still up there. But hands-down this is the bets first person shooter ever. Those X-boxies that think Halo is so cool, well take a look at Metroid and you'll be amazed. The graphics are beautful. The intense gameplay is matched by none but OoT.

etroid Prime is a great game and has awesome graphics. My favorite weapon was the ice beam because I liked the way it froze your opponents and you could then use a missile to destroy them. I highly reccomend this game to any one who wants to buy this game.

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: Graphics, gameplay, sound, music

Weakness: Takes a bit of time to grow on you

Many were worried about Metroid going into the 3D world with Metroid Prime. Well, those fears can be cast aside as this game has managed to become one of the best games ever produced. The graphics are simply beautiful and they contain a ton of detail in every environment. The environments are all interesting and look unique. The sound is also very good with appropriate sounds for enemies as well...

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: A must-have for the Gamecube, first person shooter meets adventure game, best sound and graphics on the Gamecube, amazing story

Weakness: Controls are a little odd for a FPS

Metroid Prime is the must-have title for the Gamecube. The graphics and sound are truly the best, bar none. The immersive world hooks you in from the first moment and doesn't let you go. The puzzles are well thought out, the action is intense, and truly shows some intelligence in the game design. One very minor issue is the controls, and it's not a fault of the game, more of the Gamecube, as dual...

Metroid Prime GCN

Strengths: It's stength is graphics. Another is the first person shooter.It has more of a challange. Same with all the missle weapons and other stuuf you have to find.

Weakness: none

This was one of the best games for Gamecube since Super Smash Bros Melee. It is a lot more harder than all the other Metroid games. The graphics are the first thing you notice. It is wasy beter than the other games for Gamecube. Also it is a whole lot more challenging. Another good part is when you challange Meta Ridley. He is way better in this game than any other game.

Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime is one of the finest games I've ever played. I'm still reeling from how incredible my experience with the game was. More than anything, though, I adore the fact that the negative speculation surrounding Prime's development is now obviously unwarranted. Nintendo made damned sure that Retro Studios' project lived up to the hype and what you're left with is a game that takes the...
