tell me more about it, because it might be time for me to buy a new game… it just might.. :wink:[/quote]
Isola, what can I tell you other than its Must See Tv! You get to play an astronaut visiting a planet that reveals many hidden depths, creatures and secrets. Unlike the initial Metroids, it’s in a 3D environment (generally) explored from a first person perspective . You also can morf into a electronic ball in order to explore various catacombs, etc . Despite being armed to the teeth, Metroid is not primarilly a first person shooter though : Halo it aint. The intensity of the experience is derived from a sense of exploration, discovery, and encounters , and the way the astronaut literally internalises the extraterritorial environment. I provide an overview of reviews from metacritic – it currently enjoys a near perfect rating from across a range of sources.

Once you finish it, then go out and buy Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker . Another marvel to behold , and certainly preferable to passively watching crap on tv. 😉
Lexxlurker, I would strongly suggest you explore the possibility of getting a gamecube just to play Metroid Prime and Wind Waker – especially if you can get the latter bundled with the purchase of a console going for cheap. At any rate, Metroid Prime will bring back many memories – much of the joy can be derived from a sense of recognition and wonder in its new found glory.
