I did end up enjoying the game, but I do agree, it wasn't a metroid game.  Nintendo should have called it something else.  

I hated the desert and the lack of connection between areas.  It just left me wanting.

Yeah, it's interesting that people like Curl and Firebush enjoyed the game so much. I guess it's a lot about how much you've been craving that classic "Metroid Prime feeling". If you wanted a game in that vein you wer probably more likely to be disappointed.

@curl-6 and @firebush03 : How would you rate the game compared to other games in the Prime series? I'm curious to find out! 

While I did enjoy Prime 4, I would rank it well below Prime 1-3; those are 10/10 and 9.5/10 games for me, whereas Prime 4 I felt was an 8/10.

The pacing and voice acting/writing were flaws in my view, but I felt they were overall outweighed by its atmospheric and beautiful environments, smooth and precise game feel, and boss fights.
