This may not have been as good as the first Metroid Prime in my opinion, but it's still and amazing game

Now that I've played it, I have to say, I don't think it's as good as the first Metroid Prime.

Now the Metroid is back on another planet on the brink of collapse(Samus sure seems good at finding these), where dark symbiotes called the Ing are destroying a proud civilization.

Good Metroid hunting!

I will also agree with EGM's Shane that the plot seems like more of a Rare-style fetch quest than the average Metroid game, and nowhere near the incredible Metroid: Fusion plot.

After the surprisingly enjoyable Metroid Prime I was expecting good things from the sequel

The Gamecube has always had poor graphics, but Metroid's look as good if not better than many PS2 and xbox games

I also played the Metroid on the very first gameboy, until someone stole it

Everyone's favorite Bounty Hunter heroine Samus successfully defeats the Metroid but it manages with a dying gasp to suck her Phazon suit away as well as some of her DNA, gradually morphing into what will become Dark Samus

The Gamecube has always had poor graphics, but Metroid's look as good if not better than many PS2 and xbox games

B-Overall this is still a great Metroid game, it will provide tons of hours of fun

the first Metroid was fun and didn't have a 1-4 player mode

If for some reason you have never played Metroid at all, then I STRONGLY suggest playing Metroid (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES

and the standard metroid prime moves like power beam, missles,double jump,bomb, and power bomb

Metroid always resonated with me since Super Metroid completely blew my mind over a decade ago.

Same old, same old, remixed Metroid classics that are replayed over and over

Go buy MP2:Echoes, beat it, and prove my review wrong, if you must, any metroid-hating fan.

Also, you're right, you can't compare Killzone and Halo, to Metroid PRIME 2, since Metroid is obviously superior in many ways

And the trend of missiles becoming increasingly worthless, as started with "Super Metroid," officially ended with this game.

Metroid's reputation as a moody, lonely, and eerie game series was rather iffy in Prime 1

I am an old school gamer, and I beat the first Metroid on NES as well as Super Metroid in the SNES

fans of Prime will love Echoes, just as i do.there are still numerous things to scan and you are awarded with nifty and interesting bonuses and secrets depending on how much you get scanned.
