I played the orginal Metroid when it was released in the late 1980s and it was one of the best games for the NES. Super Metroid improved upon every part of Metroid and it was one of the best games for the SNES. I never bought a Game Cube and never played Metroid Prime 1 or 2, but I cannot stand Metroid Prime 3. The power ups are terrible and everything attack takes away from health. The final boss battle is the worst part of the game. Unlike the orginal Metroid which all 600 health and 200+ missles are needed, the final Metroid Prime 3 boss battle limites you to 100 health and missles do not even hurt the final boss. Why not just skip the entire game in the middle and warp to the end because the middle does not seem to make a difference? In my opinion it fails as an Action/Adventure and it is Metroid in name only.
@amp316: Once again I am comparing the sequel to the original. If anyone here is old enough to have played Excite Bike. Even though Excite Bike was extremely simple and the levels were very repetitive, the ability to make custome levels was the best part of the game. This idea was completely original for NES at the time. Unlike Excite Bike, Excite Truck maintainted all of the same repetitive levels, but left out anything new. How many times can I play the same 5 levels over and over again? I think this game would have been much better with online, but Nitnendo left it out for some strange reason. I did play this game through Regular, Excite and I almost finished Mirror mode, but the repetitiveness of the game left me wanting so much more. I traded this game in about a year after I bough it. Why do people dislike Rayman Raving Rabbids so much? I was not sure whether or no to put it in the Good or Bad category. However, I think the Rabbids are funny and entertaining. Plus it is a good game to play while on a date. |
I've played and beat all the originals, and anyone could easily tell you that Metroid Prime series is a rather big shift from the original Metroid Series. I don't remember needing all 200+ missles for the final boss, but whatever I haven't played it in a long long time. I also agree that Super Metroid is better than the Prime series. Obviously you skipped the story in the Prime series, and each game builds on the previous one. I thought the weapons were the best in Prime 1, but Prime 3, was a great game overall. In Zelda, all you ever need is the mastersword or light arrows to beat Gannon, and to top it off, you only really need 3 hearts (i've done that in countless Zelda games), so how come you don't hold that to the same standard you obviously hold Prime to? Also, it doesn't look like you held Super Paper Mario to the same standard since it is vastly different to the orginal Paper Mario and is hardly worthy of being called an RPG.
