Not at all, no.

END-GAME SPOILER, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME:

I think the funniest thing about Samus's reaction to Ridley is how differently Anthony reacts. Samus sees Ridley, freezes up, has to be saved, can't summon up her suit in time to save Anthony.

Anthony is falling to his death but is still clear-headed enough to freeze a lava monster and use it as a platform to survive certain death.

I think we know who the real hero of this story is

I dunno.  From all of the comments I read before, I expected Samus to curl into a ball (a regular ball, not a morph ball), lay on the floor and cry until someone wheeled her away in a wheel chair while Anthony gets killed.  It didn't play out like that at all.  Samus froze up for about two seconds and Ridley grabbed her and started kicking her ass.  She got right back into the fight, but wasn't quick enough stop Anthony from falling.  And he didn't even die!  No harm, no foul.  That whole scene was blown way out of proportion.  I was a little let down by how much it didn't suck.

I"m really glad to hear you were able ot enjoy it. Regardless of what I thought of it, the fact that you liked it so much is still a very good thing.

Where would you rank it compared to the other Metroid games?


Well, I'm not a fan of FPS games in general but I recognize the quality of the Prime series.  I have played all of the games in the Metroid series (don't have Metroid II anymore but I beat it a thousand times for the Gameboy--I even used to just sit and listen to the music on the title screen all the time--but I digress) except Metroid Pinball.  Anyway, here's my personal ranking:

  • Metroid Zero Mission
  • Metroid Fusion
  • Super Metroid
  • Metroid Prime 3
  • Metroid Prime
  • Metroid : Other M
  • Metroid Prime 2
  • Metroid II:  The Return of Samus
  • Metroid Prime Hunters
  • Metroid (Nes)
  • I admit the game has some flaws (I hated the graphics at times--but that's a flaw of the Wii, the music wasn't as strong, and some old Metroid staples like scanning and bombing up were missing) but all in all, this was the Metroid I've always dreamed of.  It was cinematic, 3D, and third person.
