opinions...should i buy the metroid prime games
It depends what kind of gamer you are. If you like fast paced action then the Prime's probably aren't for you. If you like intense puzzle solving, atmosphere and a story you have to discover on your own then you'll enjoy them. The Prime's are all very tough games and require a lot of patience to enjoy. If you haven't already, I'd reccomend watching some video reviews so you can see how they play.should i buy the metroid prime games
[QUOTE=''manicfoot'']If you haven't already, I'd reccomend watching some video reviews so you can see how they play.[/QUOTE]Absoutely. I like FPS's slow or fast, but I didn't like Metroid Prime. I didn't like the way the game played with shooting doors to enter them and researching enemy info. My friend Ryan loved it but I did not.
Well, seeing as the original Metroid Prime was hailed by many as one of the greatest games of last generation, there's a good chance you'll probably like it. I loved it. The game is incredibly atmospheric and full of little details that, when taken as a complete package, are quite amazing. There's a fair amount of replayability (hard mode, finding all of the items), as well. The graphics were top tier when it came out, meaning the game still looks pretty damn good today. Yeah, you can watch video reviews etc on it, but honestly...the game is going to set you back like $5-8 for a used copy online. Unless you are extremely hard up for cash, I say just dive in and experience it for yourself, because that's the only way to know if you like it or not. Even if you decide the game isn't for you, I'm sure you'll find $5 worth of enjoyment out of it. If you like it, problem solved-go out and buy Prime 2 and 3.
i only have the handheld games but i like them. like someone said just watch videos first
thanks ill check out the videos then
The games have scored highly across the board, and the first Metroid Prime is considered one of the best games of all time.Of course, none of this matters unless you like the gameplay or not. It's hard to say if a game's good, because it's all a matter of opinion.
I don't care much for the Prime series.I suggest just getting the first game used($7 barely more than a rental) to try it out.
Should you play two of the best games of the past 10 years? Yes!
You should check out Jeff's review here on Gamespot. Nails it.Now if you're expecting an FPS you'll be disapointed. Metroid Prime is an adventure game done in FPS style. The game looks simply astonishing for its time and still holds up quite well. If you're a gamer that can apriciate subtle things like beautiful environments, clever puzzles, and exploring, then you will thoroughly enjoy this game. I suggest if you liked Ico, SotC, or Shenmue, this game will fit just fine in your library.But try the first game to see how you like it. No use in jumping the gun.
Prime rocked! II was more of the same!
