Video Game Reviews of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Customer Review: a review for Metroid Prime 2 and 3
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, I apologize for posting a review for Metroid Prime 3 on the MP2 page. The Metroid Prime 3 page won't accept my review no matter how many times I try to post it. However, this review will work for MP2 as well.
Yes, because Metroid is one of Nintendo's most long-running and successful gaming franchises, Metroid Prime 3 had no choice but to be created and released. But you know, it's certainly NOT a classic because it's basically the same as the first two Metroid Prime games but with better graphics, sound effects, and sweet-looking explosions. Remember the original Metroid on the NES, Metroid 2 on the Game Boy, and Super Metroid on the Super NES? These games were released a long time ago, and what made them so fantastic was how the gameplay emphasis on each of them was on "exploration".
In Metroid Prime 3, you predictably go through one hallway after another shooting whatever you see. While it's fun, the lack of exploring hurts the game a LOT and prevents it from having much in the way of replay value. I also hate how it takes such a long time to defeat some of the bosses in the game. It was never like that in the past.
Also, the first three Metroid games ever made for the NES, Game Boy and Super NES were REALLY different from each other and that's another thing that made each of them appealing to gamers everywhere. The first three Metroid Prime games however, are all basically the same. It's *really* not like Nintendo to ever milk a series, but for some reason, they're letting it happen with the Metroid series. It's probably time they stopped working on making Metroid games and focused on another creation, because innovative gaming in the Metroid series is probably now a thing of the past.
