I felt drawn to this game over the original despite being terrified of the dark world. Was real cool, and the multiplayer is a neat diversion when not playing the campaign. Remaster when?
8.1 For everything better it does than Prime it also does worse, I think I enjoyed Prime more but I do remember enjoying Prime 2 more back when, it's a more interesting game as a whole (but at the same time I find the world lacking) and further from the usual Metroid linearity than before but it just feels like it's different to be different at times. It emphasises exploration a bit more which fits it's genre more but also means a whole lot more backtracking where I found Prime 1 to be a lot more linear with lesser or more streamlined backtracking. Which I both like more and less for different reasons
Worst out of the primes but still great. I like the dark vs light motif is cool but switching back and forth is annoying. The areas are kinda similar for most of the game but Sanctuary Fortress is amazing.
