    This is my favorite Metroid game period. In a series full of fantastic games (and Other M), this one sticks out for its unique combination of difficulty, dark atmosphere, interesting story (the one found in the logbook, not the cutscene driven one) and stellar gameplay. So glad that Jirard finally got around to doing it.

    I've heard people criticize Metroid prime for feeling not like a proper metroid game, but I don't see what they mean, the game is well designed as a metroidvania with its upgrades and open world exploration thats limited to your current set of upgrades.

      +Who Loc same here on a lot of points. I've played this 100% and didn't use any sort of walkthrough. I can play this game without getting bored for quite some time. Ammo isn't a problem when you can blast canisters for it, the dark suit makes dark aether livable if you know how to play, getting stuck was never a problem and having to explore for where to go next isn't an issue when the prime games are about the exploration, and I enjoy the difficulty. I could go on for quite some time, but after beating metroid prime I can honestly say I prefer this game over the other 2.

I thought the dark world just added another level of strategy that mixed up the gameplay to make itself stand out. Lol I can dork out on this game for days as well , such a good metroid game , glad to see others think the same thing too

    I wouldn't want it to be a straight up survival-horror game, since Samus' power level would make that impossible to get right, but I would like to see more elements from the Horror genre in the Metroid games. It did take inspiration from the Alien film franchise after all, and the gritty feel of Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion show that Nintendo has and would allow horrific atmosphere and character designs to be part of the games. While tiny bits of that can be seen in Metroid Prime 2, 3, and even in Other M, its not very prominent. I'd like to see it come back.

      @haruhirogrimgar6047 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fusion plays into that horror component so well (especially for a GBA game.) It is sad Nintendo seems to want to rip the series as far away from that direction as possible.
      Samus Returns is such a failure to me. It takes what is supposed to be a creepy mission where you slowly but surely genocide an alien species only to show mercy to one of its young, and then just changes it completely. Now Samus is running around going ham with super cinematic action-moves and genocide is treated as fun. They even replaced the perfect ending with one where you just keep murdering as your going. Between that, Other M, and Federation Force it is clear Nintendo wants Metroid to be a cinematic action-heavy series.
      Let's hope since Prime 4 is being handled by Western devs they can steer her back in a good direction.

    This was the first game I ever got for my Gamecube. I remember playing it alone in my room when I was about 9 years old, and I was scared shitless of the Dark World. I would hesitate to move on to the next room for fear that I would encounter anymore of those spooky Ing monsters. One time while I was preparing 9 year old self to go on to the next room in the game, my dad suddenly opened the door to my room and I practically screamed and shat my pants. Good memories.

  • @hxc00p3r2
    @hxc00p3r2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Metroid Prime 2 was the first Metroid game I ever completed with Prime 1 being the first Metroid I've ever played when I was a little kid. I got frustrated with the first Prime and then moved over to Echoes. This was one of the first games I played as it became my most beloved in the series for its dark evil tone of the atmosphere and creature design.
    My dream Prime title (looking at Prime 4!!!) would have an even darker tone than Prime 2 as the body of the game with Prime 3's GFS Valhalla Depths portion implemented in an even creepier way. Finally ending off with a darker and more unsettling tone than Prime 1's epic ending with Metroid Prime.
    I guess I'm hoping for too much from Prime 4 as what I want would be an M Rated Prime title closer to a Dead Space atmosphere.
    As I've literally grown up with the Prime series and waited for sooo long to hear the Prime 4 tease, I'm happier than ever to see that my all time favorite series is coming back. We may never get an M Rated super messed up Prime game as I'd like to hope for, but it sure fun to dream XD

    Wow, just hearing the main theme at 7:01 gave me chills. Just remembering the weeks leading up to November 2004, playing the demo of the game and building up such great expectations, and having them actually met....
    Man, I miss being a kid. I grew up during one of the best times for gaming, and the Prime games are still, to this day, on my list of "best games of all time". Prime 2 also happened to come out the same month as Halo 2, which was another huge game in my life, and only 1 month after Paper Mario: TTYD. 2004 was really a great year in gaming...those 3, Snake Eater, San Andreas, Battlefront, Half life 2, KOTOR 2, Warrior Within, WoW (which I still play today), Fire Red and Leaf Green, Zero mission, Painkiller....I mean damn.
    My life was also much less f*cked up back then...

    Interesting note, MP2 was the 1st Metroid game to have non-violent, non-robotic NPCs that would talk to Samus (albeit through dialog and sometimes via left over holograms)! The animals in Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion don't count since they never directly talked with to Samus. Also, the AI system from Metroid Fusion does not count since it was merely the downloaded memories and experiences of Samus' former mentor.

    This game is one of my all-time favorite games, along with the first one. I never played the third one though, as I was left handed and it was ridiculously hard and confusing to control. For me at least. But then again, I was seven when it came out...

    Prime 2 has some of the coolest boss fights out of all the metroid games, like that giant robot, and Emperor Ing!!!
    The Gamecube was such a cool system!!!
    It was the only Nintendo system i didnt get. My younger brothers got one, and i got to play a few games from them, but i moved out of my Dad's house shortly after they got a gamecube. Its a rather huge reason why i got a wii, and not a ps3...:)

    Not saying this is bad by any means, but Fusion did the "evil clone" way better. X Samus being a completely overpowering force that you can only run from until the finale made that final fight so satisfying.

    Good job Jirard. This game is probably my favorite on the GameCube and while I do understand where some people are coming from when they say there are issues with this game, those issues aside from aesthetic preferences can arguably come down to how much difficulty you like and how much you love exploring these games. The game basically says show your moves and expects you to take its challenges down and I love it when a game does that. Games like dark souls, monster hunter , devil may cry, and several more want you to do great things with their mechanics and you just need to learn how. Also if I'm not mistaken, if you pay attention to the key bearers corpses the basically tell you a key is in that rooms counter part on dark aether.

    I gotta ask. Did anyone else freak out when you first saw the Ing critter hiding the keys you needed for the final boss fights? I don't mean when you're in the dark side, but the light one. The outline of that thing scared me at first. I didn't know what that thing was. It couldn't be damaged and it couldn't hurt you. Then when my brain decided to start functioning again, I figured out what they were. To this day this is my favorite Metroid Prime game.

  • @tmak1313
    @tmak1313 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Metroid Prime 2 is a good game for sure. I actually really enjoyed the scavenger hunt for the Sky Temple keys. But it has a few downsides that make it the weakest in the trilogy in my eyes. The part of the game I remember the most is camping out in the lighted sections of the dark world waiting for my health to regenerate. And it didn't happen crazy often, but running out of ammo was a big pain when it occurred. Pros include the difficulty curve, especially in the puzzle department and some of the coolest gear in the series. I absolutely adore the echo visor. All in all, if a few of the negative aspects were changed up a bit, it could've been the best in the trilogy. All 3 games are very close to each other in terms of quality and fun.
    And Jirard's right. If you can still get your hands on AM2R, it's a good time.

      SGT. Honeybadger Think about it from their perspective: this guy took a game they're still selling and remade it not only for free, but also in such a way that it renders THEIR version obsolete. Now, that doesn't mean they're completely in the right here, otherwise they'd have gone after him BEFORE a finished version was released. If they REALLY wanted to "protect their IP", the correct response would've been to HIRE the guy, not attack him!

    • @John-bj1zx
      @John-bj1zx 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      ShadwSonic I think it's more of that the legal department from the many Nintendo sections, ex Nintendo of America Europe or Japan, operate much differently.
      NoA probably were happy he was doing it, but then the legal department of Japan probably caught wind of it and shut it down after the million copies sold started trending worldwide.
