A really cool reinvention of Metroid that works really well in 3D, if only it had better pacing and structure. The gameplay is super cool, the first person exploration and gunplay works great for the Gamecube in an era before proper console shooters. It's fast, snappy and tense. However, as you get further into the game it becomes more and more of a slog. It's often really confusing where you need to go next, and very easy to get lost and frustrated. The world could also use more flavor.
