@ shams review
That review is pretty bad. What's different about the scale of this Prime? Sure the world is divied up but it was always divied up. In the past the smaller sections were connected by elevators and now the smaller sections are connected by not elevators (indeed it's much better than elevators in my opinion).
How often do we hear about sequelitis and games needing to change and be fresh? Then when an established series does change like with MP3 and people complain that the magic formula was altered they want them some traditional Metroid. Then again if they don't revamp the game as happened with Zelda:TP people complain that it hasn't changed and they played it 10 years ago.
It is funny in a sad way that reviewers can't seem to decide whether MP3 is just the game they played in 2002 or if it's so different it ruined the Metroid magic.
Oh well, as far as this Metroid fan of 18 years is concerned (I've owned every Metroid and beaten all but Prime 2) Prime 3 is not Prime 1 and the Metroid magic is fully present.
