| Samus Aran said: The problem with the first MP is that it has too much platforming. Thankfully fixed in the much superior sequels. There's no such thing as being "more Metroid". The series has evolved (thankfully). But yeah, the collect-a-thon in Prime 1 is by far the worst in the entire trilogy. |
There absolutely is such a thing as being more Metroid. The series has devolved. Saying there's too much platforming in a platformer is a joke. It's not a problem; it's a core mechanic. If you don't like platforming, you shouldn't be playing Metroid. The collect-a-thon in every Prime was terrible, not just the first one. The temple keys in 2 were just as bad, for example.
And it wasn't "fixed" in the sequel. Fusion had just as much platforming as Super.
