Yeah, the bosses looked awesome but the fights were dissapointing. The exploration was the best part of this game though.
I got this game the day it came out, played for about 7 hours and then put it down until about 5 days ago. I never thought I would play it again, but then forced myself to, and was totally addicted until I beat it. Mere words can't describe how incredible this game is.
The Chozo Ghost fight...the face that flashes on the screen...one of the freakiest things I've seen in all my years of gaming.
Amazing.
Those ghosts scare the crap out of me. Seriously. They're terrifying. The music, the whole room turning dark, and the hissing... I run like hell (if I can).
One of the things I like best about Prime is how it smoothly shifts gears from the terrifying to the spooky to the awe-inspiring to the thought-provoking to the hopeful to the victorious, without seeming contrived or forced.
All without a single word of dialogue.
My favorite part of the game (besides the world design) is the "!!!!!!!!!!!" that goes off in your head whenever you get a new power-up: "Cool, NOW I can finally find out what's behind that cordite wall!"
Playing with the hints off makes this even stronger.
Agreed. It's disheartening that Retro even included that hint feature. Are people getting dumber, lazier, or what? This is Metroid. If you're stuck, you explore, and if your short-term memory is crap like mine, you'll write things down. Is that too much to ask?Quote:

People don't like hard games nowadays. I think.
Either way, it's only an option. You could always turn it off. Now if you had to use it, that'd be a different story.
I know how lame bumping old threads is but I just figured that I'd ask this in the official thread.
What resolution is Prime running at? I can't shake this feeling that your viewing area is too small and too cramped.
The standard 640 x 480 like about every game for the current consoles. The resolution has nothing to do with the viewing area though.
i think if you get 100% you get a different ending... i'm curious as to what that is.
I'd like to add that I've yet to play more than 2 hours into this game.
