Presentation
Metroid reborn in 3D, and an impressive sci-fi fantasy to boot. Awesome menus. Design is great from concept to execution. Few games are this polished: 10.0

Graphics
A stunning art vision that deserves major recognition, jaw-dropping world architecture, and volumes of pretty textures. At 60 fps with progressive scan support, there are few that compare: 9.0

Sound
The original Nintendo composer delivers another opus and fantastically designed sound effects compliment the mood with Dolby Pro Logic II support: 10.0

Gameplay
A true masterpiece; an accomplishment that will be recognized for years. It is Super Metroid in 3D, and it\'s as complex and wonderful as any gamer could want. Any self-respecting gamer must own it: 10.0

Lasting Appeal
30+ hours to average completion. Requires much longer to earn 100%. Unlock art galleries, difficulty settings, and connect to GBA for extras. No multiplayer, but like Zelda, do we need it? 9.0

OVERALL SCORE: (not an average) 9.8

Sounds like a game worth owning to me.

Here\'s some great movies of the game.

Amazing sound.

I dislike FPS games with a passion. I played the demo, and was not that hot for it. Perhaps it will get better?? I guess I may pick this one up. If it is a normal FPS, and I dislike it. Well it won\'t be the first or last time I bought a game I really disliked.

You may control Samus from the first-person perspective, but that doesn\'t autimatically mean it will be like every other FPS(and from what I\'ve read this is the case).

Keyword=demo. You really can\'t judge a supposedly 30 hour game by a small demo.

Vivi: And the hardware standard is slightly higher here. Metroid Prime must be damned good in IGN\'s opinion..

I don\'t get what the deal is with this game. All the movies and screens I\'ve seen from this game doesn\'t make me excited in the least.

I couldn\'t believe that they gave the game that high of a score.  It really seemed like a risk to take the game in this direction, but they really seem to love it.  Makes me glad to have a Gamecube.  If what they say is true, this could be the game of the year.

All said and done,  it\'s still a FPS.  

I don\'t why people jump on this game as much as they do,  it looks like another FPS to me.

What makes this game so much better,  then say,  a Red Faction or any other FPS for that matter?

to answer that Clowd, probably just about everything.. I played the demo of Red Fraction 2 and honestly, it\'s a disgrace. :(

As for Metroid Prime. Great to see some good scrores. Now I just wonder what this will do to GCN sales........

Clowd, play it, then judge it.  There always have been games that come out and completely redefine what a genre can be.  Perhaps this is one of those.  It looks more like an action adventure game that just happens to be played from a first person perspective than a first person shooter to me.

Is Super Metroid just another action game? No!

Metroid Prime is (gameplay-wise) Super Metroid in 3D with a first-person perspective. gg!
