Sorry guys, I don't see it. Metroid Prime is a good game, but I would be hesitant to say it was one of the best. Compared to the 2D games, I didn't enjoy it as much. I think that comes down to the 3D elements of the game.
Areas are bigger so it takes longer to navigate through them, making backtracking longer as well. The map is so much harder to navigate as well, I was constantly getting lost of where I was and where I need to go. Weapon had longer animations than I would've liked, doors take a while to open sometimes, some bosses overstay there welcome, Meta Ridley in particular. If on Hard-Mode, a section of a boss takes about 20-30 minutes to beat, I'm sorry that isn't good boss design that's just wasting my time. Speaking of wasting my time, the artefacts, what the hell. It takes so long to find them as there all over the place and it's just annoying as it feels like it wasn't necessary.
I don't dislike the game, there are elements that I love. The first person view in Samus's helmet is awesome, you truly feel like your in the game. The controls are really good to, until you get to some platforming sections then I think the controls faultier a little. I think the music is great too, super atmospheric.
Metroid Prime is a good game, and i'm interested in checking out it's sequels to see if they improve on the things I disliked in this game. But until then i'm still gonna say I prefer the 2D games.
