I’m playing through Prime 1 for the first time now and to be fair I wouldn’t rank it up there with Nintendo’s best work. I like it overall – the music, the boss battles, the atmosphere are all great but the pacing is a bit slow and I find the backtracking really quite annoying. I much prefer Prime 3 just because it’s slightly more linear and action orientated.
I find it hard to understand how anyone can prefer Metroid to something like Zelda but then different people have different tastes. The Prime series is still worth completing at least once.
