Trying to equate Metroid Prime... with Shadowgate. Wow. That's quite the stretch there buddy. Metroid Prime is not a shooter, and it's not a point and click adventure. It's Metroid in 3D from a first-person perspective, and that's what makes it awesome. It retains all the core elements that made the Metroid series the best action-adventure-platforming games out there, and expands upon them with new elements like the visor system and bosses that make creative use of the new 3D environments. And it capitalizes on the available technology by creating a rich, beautiful atmosphere for the player to explore. Metroid Prime did even more for the Metroid series than Mario 64 did for the Mario series or Ocarina of Time did for the Zelda series. And the Metroid gameplay elements are basically the intersection of Mario, Zelda, and Megaman -- platforming, adventuring, and shooting. IMO, the three best games of all time were: 3) Mario 64 Super Mario Galaxy is the only possible contender for Prime as far as I'm concerned, and as awesome as it is, I don't think it's going to topple Prime. |
