  • I can't findy metroid 2 :(

  • This is when IGN was a decent site. :/

  • @DontEatWhales so true

  • Mr. Sir henry motherfucker!

  • second best game ive ever played

  • Man, I'm about finished playing through this game right now. I gotta say this game suffers from some pacing issues and is dragged out a bit by a little too much back and forth. The world itself is actually not that big. Certainly not the scope that the 20 hours it takes to finish would have you believe. From what I understand, this game was rushed. It was about 30% complete only like 3 months til launch. The boss fights are great but those experiences are few and far between.

  • @Dreamewalker

    Did you look up the wikipedia entry to justify complaining? I will kill you....

    jk.

  • this reviewer is such a fag

  • The key to the final boss.... its realy boring to find all keys

  • I LOVE THIS GAME! i remember playing it with my friends for hours when it first came out. 

  • metroid is my favorite saga of all time i love the game i have all the three games nintendo fuck mario bross Samus is the best

  • I was always lost in this game but it was still amazing!!

  • it's pretty ignorant to say that MP3 wasn't really a Metroid game. The only thing about it that is even any different from the style, is the amount of character interaction, which still wasn't all that much. Yes, there was more, and it felt a little less isolated, but only a little. When you left those areas, you were alone again. My only other complaint about it is kind of a silly one. I liked having to switch out your different beam weapons in 1 nd 2, but I know the old games stacked the beams

  • man I only owned this game on Gamecube for a short time and beat it only once before trading it in, and I've come to regret that a little, but thankfully I have Prime Trilogy. Will definitely be playing it again as soon as I finish Prime 1 which I started today

  • @Timic83tgwtg

    Metroid came before Halo you twat...

  • Damn ign sounded good back in the day now all game reviews are like 3-4 mins

  • Respond to this video... Anybody recently play this just 2 sequence break? i loooved powerbombing the boost gaurdian an beating most the game wit varia suit

  • out of all the metoid prime games metroid prime two was the hardest one...(my opinion)

  • @MrToxicinvader44 I think it's the best game I've ever played, but yeah, I think the difficulty turned a lot of players off.

  • I like how he complains about how that you get the screw attack upgrade way to late in the game. It is possible to collect the screw attack extremely early. As soon as you pick up the early power bomb via secret worlds you can travel to Sanctuary Fortress and pick up the screw attack. This game has tons of bugs in it and it is possible to beat the game with only seven percent of all the items collected.

  • 7:08 lmao

  • did he played the primes? 3:48 - lol cuz duhh..thats what "blue areas" are, unexplored places

  • yo this game is mad long and tiring of the 'going back and fourth thru light and dark..im up to this part 2:14 would u say im half way or what cuz it seems like im not even half way since i heard u got a light suit and a dark(er) suit and stuff. plus dark + light beam. tsh. i haven't even played prime 3 yet, but i can tell thats gonna be my favorite prime.

  • lol..i don't read anything..i just scan and bounce.

  • @romahnae lol

  • its not (ay-ther) its (eat-ther) tryna over punctuate words mein..

  • metroid echoes is great game 8or9 on 10. but metroid prime from 2002 is fucking better

  • i spent most of the time listening to the music...by the way, does any1 know where i can get the soundtrack? plz and thx

  • @Timic83tgwtg You are quite possibly the most remedial person I know. The Metroid franchise has been around way before the idea of Halo even existed. If anything Gaylo is a ripoff of Metriod Prime. haha

  • @cybermartyr87 Whoa! Don't say Gaylo! Halo's awesome! And Metroid is just as good!

  • @TheDTYPsGames Better...

  • @cybermartyr87 If anything Halo came out first, but Prime was still much better.

  • @Vader3123 Halo came out with the Xbox.. Or a little after that.. Nintendo was the first major gaming corporation. So... Metroid was first.

  • @Timic83tgwtg I'm sorry but this is the dumbest comment I've ever seen

  • @Timic83tgwtg Wow I always knew some of you Halo fanboys were crazy but I didn't know you were that crazy, Metroid first came out in 1986 and Halo came out in 2001, also the bosses and enemys are way different in Metroid Prime. The Prime games are exploration and adventure Halo's just another war game, say Metroid Prime ripped of Halo is like saying Halo ripped off Doom.

  • @Timic83tgwtg Saying Metroid Prime ripped off Halo is like saying Mortal Kombat ripped of Street Fighter.

  • @Timic83tgwtg why you thing that Metroid have a best 1st person, best scenes and best story Halo is a good game but Metroid win in all aspects

  • @Timic83tgwtg gay ass fuck xbox drone

  • @Timic83tgwtg you're such a dumbass, go play halo on your shittybox

  • @Timic83tgwtg You do know that Metroid came first,so wouldn't that make Halo a Metroid rip-off?

  • what this guy says is true.. you really have to get to the sanctuary fortress to really appreciate the game. I first beat prime, then started prime 2, but was a little dissapointed. still kept playing and now I think prime 2 is better than prime 1. it's f*ckin awsome!

  • one of the hardest game out there like the halo legendery and gears of wars insane modes

  • this game takes about 40 hours if u read a lot 100% and takes ur time the time in the game does count the read time

  • its hilarious that people say the gamecube sucked because it couldnt support ps2 graphics, but look at these games, their almost 360 graphics, people are so annoying sometimes

  • Boost ball guardian... oh the horror!

    This series is just, absolutely amazing, just wish they'd used their time to make another prime game rather then the shit that was Metroid other M.

  • @Blackout987 Metroid Other M is not shit not at all, I played it myself and found it to be a very fun and enjoyable game. Metroid Other M is a decent Metroid game that could have used quite a bit more work then it got.

  • unos de los mejores juegos que e jugados de la consola nintendo game cube metroid prime echoes 2 exselente

  • I think they did a great job in recreating the Metroid sidescrollers in 3D in the prime series, I haven't tried Other M though, I hope its a Metroid game and not a futuristic ninja gaiden game D:

  • I. Hate. Bloggs.

  • this game was THE BEST!!!! its sad to know that xbox and ps3 will make this game less known for what it is.... but it will not be forgotton :)

  • you cant say "i think" in a review

  • @olenhump2011 you're joking, right?

  • As it says in the commercial for the game: "[Aether, ]where the only thing between life and death is a few inches of metal". Such a cool adventure game.

  • reviews back then were ACTUAL REVIEWS. not glorified journalism pieces

  • why doesn't the reviewer have the light suit by the time he fights quadraxis?

  • @bgf97 You don't have it while fighting Quadraxis.

  • @nintendowiids12 hmmm... i remember at least having the dark suit... i dunno, it's been a couple years since i last played the game.

  • @bgf97 You get the Light Suit AFTER you defeat Quadraxis, then U-Mos will give it to you. It's a great pay-off after defeating a big-ass Robot.

  • This game is better than 85% of Wii games

  • I HATE this game. It has a great soundtrack but it's just a little confusing and hard for me :')

  • @SuperNintendoCrew21 ALL Metroid games are confusing.

  • @SuperNintendoCrew21 I particularly didn't like the Light/Dark World mechanic since the loading times detracted from the pacing of the game, however after I re started replaying Prime 3 I realized Echoes wasn't THAT bad ! Lmao. Moving from A to B in Corruption takes almost half a minute ! Talk about slowing down gameplay :/ .

  • @SuperNintendoCrew21 Who you have bad taste in games, because Metroid Prime 2 Echoes is one of the best games on the Gamecube.

  • @MrMetroid1998 No, I mean I get frustrated by it, I still love it :)

  • samus REALLY needs a better ship, she crash lands too much

  • @MrJake0620 She got one in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.

  • @MrJake0620 And a better suit !, I found her Dark Suit hideous! Those shoulderpads look like fucking tractor tires!

  • @MrJake0620 Meh, only happened 3 times out of her career. Once it wasn't even HER gunship, persay. But still, only 3 times out of 8 adventures. I agree that she could use better emergency crash-landing equipment, though XD.

  • Wow I bourt this game like 2 months ago but my GC is in Sydney at my grandparents house but we I'm there and I got free time I always play this game cause it sooooo awesome

  • metroid is my favorite series of all time and when people say super metroid is overrated, i also have to say no to that. i've realized in most top ten best video games of all time lists, they don't even put it in there, like they completely forgot about how amazing it was

  • my all time favorite game when i had my game cube

  • scew this guy multiplayer was fun it would be fun as hell if there were lots more of it, maybe multiplayer in corruption with wifi would just be amzing.

  • Metroid Prime 2 is my favorite in the Trilogy

  • @papercanfly, As a matter of fact, Metroid Prime 2 features the best boss battles in the entire series.

  • This game is freakin hard

  • I just bought this game again I vow to beat it this time...

  • wow the backtracking seems to be stupid but other than that best game on the gamecube too bad now u have the crappy wii shooter controls, if they keep on releasing it on the gamecube or the wii classic controller metriod can compare with CoD, Halo, or Killzone

  • @YWOOOX metroid is better than CoD, Halo, and Killzone Combined you fool

  • @bram07021993 shut up nintendo fanboy no one cares about u. MAn u people annoy me, dude, don't compare with the things u've never BEAT. the only reason is that u probably cant shoot stright with halo and others. calling me a fool, Tell me that AFTER u beat those games GOD u make me sick. REPLY TO THIS COMMENT ONLY IF YOU BEAT ALL FOUR AND THEN TRY TO STAND UP FOR METROID IF YOU HAVE ANY REAL FRIENDS THAT AREN'T NINTENDO GEEKS U'LL REALISE,I WAS LIKE U TOO JUST TRY THE FUCKING GAMES FIRST!

  • @JSgamers i've beaten all 4 (cept halo, though i've played heaps of that). Metroid Prime was the only one of the 4 that wasn't linear in the single-player :/

  • @Mason1729 halo was good read the other comment

  • @Mason1729 you like linear games? just askin..

  • @bram07021993 What's wrong with linear games? Many of the greatest games of all time are linear.

  • @jeremycarrier like?

  • @Mason1729 Super Mario Bros 3, Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Portal, Super Mario Galaxy, Chrono Trigger, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4, Yoshi's Island, Devil May Cry 3, God of War 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Metal Slug 1-3, etc, etc. Many, many, MANY great games are linear. The vast majority of games are linear, really.

  • @jeremycarrier Most of those arent even of the genre we're talking about. I have no problem with linear gameplay when it comes to other genres, I just prefer not being forced in a single direction with little exploration possible In FPS's. Exceptions would be Half-life 2, Portal and such. But Theres plenty of successful FPS games in the past that have done done nonlinear gameplay, such as Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Fallout 3, Borderlands, Metroid Prime, Far Cry 2, etc.

  • @jeremycarrier I was just asking... I've allways liked games more with an open world with more freedom..

  • @bram07021993 not really. Only linear single-player FPS game I've actually had some enjoyment from was the Half-Life series.

  • @JSgamers god I love it when ppl on youtube freak out.. I beat halo 1 and 2, played a lot of cod.. and metroid wins

  • @bram07021993 so what? you first have to beat legendary co-op on halo 3 and ODST, than play multiplayer, u cant just say u beat it and metroid wins, halo is about playing with friends ur expirencing about 1% of the game just beating it

  • @YWOOOX wtf that's bullshit, If I wanna play with friends I'll play super smash brothers or something

  • @bram07021993 thats an awesome game, one of the reasons that i have a wii, but me and my friends are all halo fanboys (and fangirls) but wii should really make it so that people can talk on xbox live

  • @JSgamers

    Typical 360 rager. Nothing compares to Halo and CoD. Sad, sad, sad.

    Me? Well, I'm a Wii60er. I love Halo, I like Call of Duty, I love Zelda, and I love Metroid. I play games from the original Xbox on my 360, I play Gamecube games on my Wii, and I play N64, SNES, and NES games on my Wii as well. It's all great. Limiting yourself to one gaming company or console or series is only limiting your own entertainment.

  • @Maverickdude97 Very true.

  • @bram07021993 by the way if anyone wants to reply i dont read the messages in the other account so...yea

  • @YWOOOX just read that

  • @YWOOOX I'd rather the Wii+nunchuck controls over a controller when it comes to FPS. but even then, I'd rather keyboard+mouse over anything when it comes to FPS, lol.

  • @Mason1729 it depends on what ur used to the wii and nuncuck is different where u point with the gun but the X360/PS3 is that the crossfire's always in the middle, and the keyboard? =D

  • @YWOOOX yeah, it definitely depends on what someones used to. With keyboard+mouse controls, the mouse is used to aim (crosshair always in the middle), WASD keys on keyboard for moving.

  • i lost my game disk for this one, i still have metroid prime 1 but ive already beat taht like 5 times, only beat MP2 twice...i must play it again :D

  • cool video

  • badass game 

  • So many spoilers !!! thank god i played the game first XD

  • i love this game I LOVE THIS GOME metroid prime 2 echoes is the best game METROID PRIME 2 ECHOES IS THE BEST GAME

  • you guy's are virtual warrior's!(the you-tube user's).

  • really wish the multiplayer had the option of using cpu players

  • ehh this looks to creepy for me ahaha

  • MP1 was the BEST metroid game, MP2 was Still good but it got stale at points, and MP3 is NOT A METROID GAME, end of story. got to bed.

  • @rual40 MP3 was the best of the primes dude. I should know. Ask anyone at the Metroid Database, they'll say the same thing too. >_>

  • @vesko96 ... not even close, MP3 isn't a metroid game. The metroid database is not a attiquite source of information. MP3 is not a metroid game because it is layed out in a diferent way. +, M-FUSION is not a metroid game either.... but MP3 Is overall not as good as MP1 or MP2.

  • @rual40 They have Metroid in the title. They center on the adventures of Samus Aran, fighting aliens and exploring weird places. They are Metroid games. Just because they are more linear doesn't mean they aren't Metroid games.

    You people really need to stop thinking linearity = bad. If that was the case, the vast majority of video games are bad.

  • @rual40 wth are u talking about. There both metroid games because they both settle around the story of the metroids and samus. They may be a bit different in plot but they still match what the series is about.

  • @SlamTheLabel i said GAME. the game style is drastically different. not the story.

  • @rual40 ya but just because the style is different doesn't mean it isn't metroid material. Even if majoras mask is way different than ocarina of time there still both legend of zelda. Btw attiquite is spelled adequate. I know random much.

  • @SlamTheLabel the plot my good man is different. metroid games have a feel of being lost without directions. it encourages you to be adventurous and search the world. MP3 has a lot of directions to ware to go.

  • @rual40 i know the plots of the games man. There all different but that doesn't make them non metroid. That's what you were implying. Metroid prime 2 is about the split between ather ( dark and light) and saving the planet from it's growing darkside while fighting your dark side as well. Metroid prime is just about finding the artifacts and finding the main metroid and annihilating it. Most of the metroid games have the same plot but echoes is different. They are still of metroid standard.

  • @SlamTheLabel the concept of how its played is different.

  • @rual40 What do you say about Metroid Other M then?

  • when u finish a metroid game u feel kind of accomplished

  • @mexican9971 yeah i know! like you just ended reading the longest book of all time!

  • @BrainBlader yeah kind of like that its a strange but good feeling

  • DAMN YOU SPIDER BALL GUARDIAN!!

  • @poiper80 DAMN YOU BOOST BALL GUARDIAN!!

  • @poiper80 quadraxis was the worst :p

  • The final boss in MP1 was a joke i thought, it was a great game still. but it was ridiculous. this game was alot harder i thought and i preferred it.

  • Best in the series! Think Ill go play Trilogy now

  • one of my favorite parts of he prime series is the music

  • screwattack has been seen after super metroid... its in Metroid: fusion

  • @JimmyRidz After the ground breaking success of the Prime trilogy I can't believe you said that, Metroid is awsome in both 3D and 2D.

  • @MrMetroid1998 i prefer old school but this game is ok i guess

  • @JimmyRidz Well okay thats your opinion but in my opinion the 3d Metroids are just as good if not better then the 2d games.

  • all the prime games rule.

    also when someone types this on the computer: <D, it looks like ice cream. lol

  • i have metroid prime one and two

  • 6th gen gaming was fun. 7th gen gaming is stupid. People arguing over pointless bullshit.

  • @Halobolu indeed

  • @Halobolu OMG the graphix sux !!1! .... Yeah, I know what you mean. It's terrible what the graphics war has done to gaming. I still have tons of fun playing the oldie but goodies.

  • @Halobolu Mainly K/D and Gamerscore ruin seventh gen gaming. The games themselves are perfectly fine.

  • @Halobolu what year starts the 7th gen?

  • @khav11 21 August 2004 when Nintendo DS was released

  • This one was my favorite. 3 Would have been but they killed off Rundas lol

  • i like the 1st and the 3rd the most. this one is much more difficult than the other 2

  • That's why I prefer it <D

  • @dragondude912 yes, i totally agree, the other games were a cakewalk compared to this. i found this game to be way more confusing than the other 2, and the boss fights are way more challenging.

  • This is the only prime game I have not played. I herd its the lesser one of the 3 though. Ill be getting the collection so I can try it.

  • @Agumon5 some reviewers don't like it as much because of the dark world, but it adds complexity to the game, which is what the series has always been about. at first, it feels extremely tedious and claustrophobic, but as you progress, it's implemented into the game design much better, and the dark and light suits make you rely on the light domes much less. although i prefer prime 3, i think that it is a more intuitive, cinematic, and intense experience, but a much weaker metroid game.

  • love this game but thought it was to easy love the light suit its my favorite =]

  • @Adamsrandomjunk too easy? i'd hate to see what you consider challenging 0.o

  • this game is tooo hard for me. harder than halo 3 on legendary

  • It is pretty challenging, it takes a while to beat the game but its a great experience, one of my favorite by far.

  • @xy274 why are you even comparing this game with halo? >.>

  • @ragekage209 why r u even asking? 

  • @xy274 whyd you answer my question with another question, that ultimately doesn't answer my question in the first place?

  • @xy274 ur dumb

  • @khav11 ur stupid

  • @xy274 dumber kiddo

  • @khav11 your retarded asswipe

  • @ptimmy5050 stfu twat

  • @khav11 lolololol nahaaha

  • im gettin all 3 prime versions on wii soon i ordered it off gamestop

  • Dark Missile Trooper? i dont recognize that boss or fought him

  • phazonruler3000, you have to back track to the beginning of the game and fight if you want a missile expansion. Its not part of the story, its just optional incase you want missile expansions

  • its a good metroid game.

  • like majora's mask was to zelda what is he retarded i loved majora's mask and i thin it compliments ocarina of time nicely

  • He didn't say anything bad about Majora. Just that Echoes is a lot like Prime and Majora was different from Ocarina.

  • Echoes does in some ways serve a similar function to Prime as Majora's Mask did to Ocarina... although Echoes didn't advance on gameplay mechanics as much as ocarina, it generally made a fuller world, and more complicated and difficult enemies. I.e. it served as a more difficult game with more hardcore bosses etc in a similar way as majora's mask did.

  • he wasnt saying it was bad. he was just saying that majoras mask was much different from ocarina of time, while prime 2 is very similar to 1.

  • I'm playing through Prime 1 now, and I can't wait to get to this game. :D

  • you haven't beaten the prime series? OMG its epic! August 24th, 2009 nintendo is releasing the Metroid Prime Trilogy, which is all 3 metroid prime games for the wii! gonna get it even though i own the gamecube versions, and I own metroid prime 3!

  • I already own all of the games, I just never got around to finishing them.

  • ahhh, you gonna get the trilogy though? I am. I'm like the biggest metroid fan ever. people may say otherwise that they are, but I think I am out of everyone I know.

  • Yes, I'm getting the trilogy. Can't wait. :D

  • I know!

  • You are lying!

    Really?

    Really?!

    Dear freaking gawd!
