| Voltaire said: Metroid is Tomb RAider in sapce? Metroid was released before Tomb Raider was even thought of, so if anything, Tomb Raider is Metroid in a real world setting. Change is good, but like people said, change in the right direction. PRime was basically just a 3D Metroid. Nothing really new (execpt the visors), just a new demension and a change in perspective. |
You know what I meant.
And while Prime was good, a lot of things like the Screw Attack, Speed Boost, Wall Jump, and such didn't make it into Metroid Prime.
Metroid 1 laid the foundation. Metroid 2 introduced the infinite Space Jump, Spider Ball, and Metroid evolution species. Super Metroid brought the Map, Speed Boost, Grapple Beam, Super Missles, etc. Metroid Prime put it all into 3D. Fusion was underated, but amazing too. Prime 2 was more of the same (with the Dark and Light world and subordinate characters). Prime 3 brought the controls and the Corruption. Hunters....well it had decent mult-player until the cheaters took over. All of the Prime games had intense firefights, but the enemy AI wasn't too realistic.
The Metroid franchise always brought more to the franchise. The franchise NEVER sat on it's laurels. And there's never been a bad Metroid game. Nintendo/Retro/ whomever they put on the project WILL deliver, but they have to add and not be afraid to take risks. Exploration plus innovation.
