The re-spawning enemies gets very tiring. Running backwards and forwards in the same area gets very repetitive. I played the PC mod of Metroid Prime and chucked it after being unable to do the half-pipe mechanic.
As a collection, perfect.
although i am far from being metroid prime 2's biggest fan, the value of this game is unreal. during the wii u days, you could get three metroid prime games for just $20. really puts it into perspective nowadays. unfortunately the wii u eshop is no more, but to those who managed to get this on there before it shut down, rest easy knowing you're one of the lucky souls
This is the best way to experience the older Prime games. Let me tell you, Primehack + this version? Beautiful
I absolutely enjoyed my time with all Metroid Prime games, with the first one even becoming one of my favorites of all time. Prime 2 really takes a while to get good (and by then you're almost done with the game), and Prime 3 is pretty decent and could've served as a good conclusion to the Prime series.
Alas, Prime 4 is still (hopefully) cooking over at Retro, so I'm happy to say that I can now join the bandwagon in waiting for any news to come

Bargain of the century. Prime 1 & 2 are massively improved with Wii controls, and the widescreen support is also a huge plus.
Even with the Prime 1 remaster out, this is still my go-to version of it to replay.

A collection of 3 amazing Metroid games all in one place, with the Multiplayer of Prime 2 included! What more can you ask for? The collection is amazing with the addition of achievements to the first two prime games but I will say being forced to use Prime 3's controls does hurt a bit.
3 games in one!? Holy cannoli!
Three must-play games.
Good trilogy
These are 3 amazing games and awesome first person adventure/action games.
My only issues are are from the second game which has some bad designed bosses. To much back tracking and a terrible endgame fetch quest. Overall though I would highly recommend to give these games a try.

I don't think Metroidvanias are for me. The constant backtracking is extremely tedious and going through the same 3 areas gets a bit draining. On a more positive note, the game has a fantastic soundtrack (especially tallon overworld), The boss fights are very good for the most part, and the atmosphere is great. I would totally recommend these games for anyone who likes metroidvanias. Might pick these back up later on, maybe when prime 4 comes out.
Good fun. People seem to dislike 3 the most but it’s the only one I didn’t need a walkthrough to navigate. I never use walkthroughs but 3d Metroid is hard to navigate and the map is hard to look at. Very fun other than that.
Fue la primera vez que probé un metroid la verdad, me pase los 3 y quede muy sorprendido, algunos eran un poco pesados pero estaban muy bien.
Goated trilogy
Minha primeira oportunidade em jogar estes jogos e pegar o famoso Metroid Prime 1 , e te falar ? que jogo INCRIVEL, Me senti num Super Metroid 3D.
Metroid Prime 2 me deu dor de cabeça absurda com o mapa imenso e a mecanica de dark world, um jogo sensacional mas extremamente complexo e confuso pra mim
Metroid Prime 3 tem uma das melhores batalhas que joguei contra bosses, mas fora isso a Linearidade me deixou um pouco desapontado.

Its all 3 Metroid Prime games in one disc. All 3 of them are certified bangers as the kids say.
Excellent trilogy of some of the finest video games I've ever played. I especially love it as a package because each game approaches progression and world design a bit differently, giving them their own strong identity while still being Metroid Prime at their core.
The controls take a steady hand and some getting used to but when you adapt they're perfect! The Wii Remote has the precision of a mouse and keyboard and almost all the buttons easily in reach for making quick actions. It feels like the games were made for this controller, or this controller was made for games like them! Try to use Advanced Sensitivity, it makes turning a lot easier.
My biggest criticisms are with the options and extras. Options are very limited, Metroid Prime Remastered definitely puts this collection to shame with how much customization it gave you. You can't even use a GameCube Controller in this.
The extras are almost good but have weird oddities, like some unlocks costing tokens that required online friends to get.
Also weird omissions, like the soundtrack selection which only includes some tracks, not even all of the most iconic ones. Stuff like the main Torvus Bog theme aren't there but some forgettable cutscene music is, I know it's a trivial thing to get hung up on but it just confuses me lol.
Amazing trilogy, I don't need to say why, the games speak for themselves. Give it a play if you haven't!

I feel bad for anyone who didn't pick up this collection on the Wii U Eshop for the insane steal price of $20, you know, for 3 of the BEST GAMES EVER MADE!
I have my gripes with the prime games but i mean come the fuck on this is an aggressively good deal.
Still blown away by the absolute theft this title was. Maybe the best game collection ever arranged.
Easily one of the best video game trilogy collections of all time. I don't have much to say about this version specifically, so please check out my review for each individual game instead:

Absolute masterpieces here. Such detailed, immersive sci-fi worlds that constantly amaze me.
I've only beaten the first game out of the three, and wasn't a huge fan of it. I appreciate and acknowledge what it has done for gaming as a whole, though.
The ultimate trilogy, with improved graphics (HD ports) and new wii controls. Nothing to say other than, well, it’s a trilogy of some of the best games for gamecube and wii. And it’s metroid prime. You can’t go wrong.
These games are really great, and its unfortunate we've had to wait so long for another installment in this side series. IIRC I liked MP2 the most with 1 closely behind
It's truly the prime of Metroid... three times
This is a top tier game copilation, and the 3 games inside are also so good (Idk about Prime 3 yet, but 1 and 2 are so masterful even if 3 sucked ass it'd still be amazing).
primehack on Dolphin is definitely a way to play this game
3 great games. I like them all
Very fun games that motion controls make even better. 1 is definitely the best, but 2 is nice for a more level based experience, and 3 is fun if you're not a big fan of the exploration side of 1 and 2. Core gameplay of all 3 is still fun though.
