Best VGM 947 - Metroid Prime 2 : Echoes - Torvus Bog

[Angel1025x]

i love how from time to time i would remember music where i have no idea where i heard from...then i find this page and...

[lllllllll67]

The best music Ive heard from metroid from the most criminally under rated game of the series :(

[Sizednochi]

@lllllllll67 That's a funny way of saying Metroid II Return of Samus

[FerreTrip]

...I never realized how fond my memories of playing this series are until just now, when I looked at this screen of behind-the-visor Samus just standing and looking at the dark beauty before her--something so common in these games. And me sitting here without my Wii. Oh, my God, I love Metroid Prime...

[philip0544]

hmmm this was posted on my birthday

[IceCrest1311]

This is such a beautiful song. Then again, all of the ambient location songs for the Metroid Prime's are.

[HiIh76]

This was my least favorite part of the game, but had the best music

[WalkingWithStrang3rs]

@HiIh76 personally, i really liked torvus bog! ^^

it was agon wastes i HATED D:<

[shadyguy999]

@WalkingWithStrang3rs it was the other way around for me. XD

[tabris1991]

lols i loved this music, but the gameplay was too slick and made me have motion sickness :P also too much backtracking :(

[ofakar]

what a game... just perfect

[Exarian]

listen to this song on a dqark, rainy day:

Maximum over-chill.

[Mdude123456789]

@Exarian man thats awesome :O

[Mdude123456789]

@Exarian it feels like evry drop of rain is making each and evry echo noise, almost like at the start the cloud is forming, then it lets out. each time a raindrop hits the ground, or your window, it creates a noise. then the combined noises seem so..... magical...

almost like a rain sleep spell when you think about it.

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

I only have the first Metroid Prime. :(

[drummaboy65]

@GameBeatenakaKevinS You reall should get 2. I loved it almost as much as the first one! :) And it can't be more than $15.

[hydrolythe]

This is a theme that could represent the void of some games.

[mseifer]

first time I got to this area I was like wooooowwww....

[Espatha]

Those Grenchers still scare the poop out of me when I visit this place.

[UmbreonMessiah]

@Espatha Yeah! They're like quicker, meaner Sheegoths. They make me wanna run screaming.

[Sayeth0Di0Puppeth]

Definitely my favorite song in the game.

[Supermariofan14]

It seems I am the only one who thought the dark world was cooler without the Dark Suit. Hard, but I loved running from beacon to beacon.

[Boyce18]

Played it not even a year ago! Awesome Prime trilogy, Metroid is one of the best franchises out there!

[daytimesky]

Never played this game before, but liking this song.

[FAILGET64]

At least Torvus Bog has good music, because it's hell for about half the time you're there until you get the Gravity Boost.

[MarioGalaxy243g5]

@FAILGET64 Really? I'd say only the bottom part.

[Arkhigoul]

love that whistle *heart-eyes*

[COBOL]

More PHAZON for everyone!!

[NeoHub]

This track was the main reason why I got the ost. It's so sick, thanks for the upload.

[UmbreonMessiah]

It's funny. I don't like Prime 2 that much when I compare it to Prime and Prime 3, but it's still got this place in gaming history for me. It was the game I never finished for a long while, because I thought it was too hard. Then I came back at it later and learned to stop being such a stick in the mud with my light and dark beams, and the game just opened up.

This song is probably an explanation as to how the game makes me feel. Ominous, yet relaxing. It reassures you, even when you're afraid.

[ItalianPaddy]

@UmbreonMessiah Yeah I always saved my light and dark beam ammo for bosses, which makes other enemies so much more difficult.

[gott957]

it may not be as good as the first prime but damn, i love this game. the atmosphere was awesome.

[mikslittleworld]

my favourite song from Prime 2, it's amazing, relaxing and so atmospheric.

I would purposely wander around this area for no reason except to listen to this song.

[Snikks89]

This brings back memories when games had story,great gameplay and music.Thanks for the upload!.

[FCBMD10]

Prime 2 was my favorite of the three. I liked the dark/light world gameplay and especially the battles with Dark Samus. This game had some very good bosses compared tot 1 and 3. The music and story were also awesome. Miss these awesome days...

[Hafwaffy]

I remember the Spider Guardian being a total b$^%@ when I played this game. I also remember one time I played the game, and I accidentally triggered a glitch in Sanctuary Fortress which didn't allow me to move on in the game, forcing me to start over.

Ah, good times. XD

[Forgivins1n]

This game has a place in my heart, Metroid has wonderful soundtracks.

[danetucker]

I didn't like Prime 2 as much as Prime. The whole light/dark thing just came off as tedious and annoying to me. The music was a high point though.

[Exarian]

I find this funny. I love the music but as this is very much ambient music, it can trace its lineage all the way back to composer Erik Satie in the nineteenth century. sure it's much more electronic and modern, but the ambient music school of composition can easily be traced back to him.

[DajuNkdnA]

music in that game was deeply atmospheric, and this one was high up there

[Bluerage98]

Oh fuck yeah Torvus Bog is the shit.

[yoshi61666]

excelent song. i dont know why they didnt put this in the Metroid Prime Trilogy in-game store

[TheDoppleGamer]

Wow 100% this game a while back and hearing this is just pure awesome.

[runitecastle]

did Bola write the music or something?

[EturnusFrost]

I actually like Metroid Prime 2 the most of the trilogy, 3 was ok, and 1 was splendid.

[fullm3tal90]

ahhh good fucking memories

[alasanof]

GOD DAMNIT, WHY CAN'T I BEAT THE BOOST BOSS?

[Dooland1991]

@alasanof dw that boss owns everyone, just keep trying, youl get the hang of dodging its attacks,

its easly the hardest boss in the game in terms of the stuff you have when you go against it

took me about a week to beat it, just keep trying

(BTW thats a week of trying getting frustrated and giving up for the day, not playing constantly lol)

[malus9]

Oh, nostalgia...

[TheHarmonixer]

This game is pretty good. But to be honest, I enjoyed the first one a lot more. For one, I never beat this game. I got stuck on the Dark World boss that is basically a ball and you have to fight it as a morph ball (soooo hard!). But yeah, the first one is superior in environment/ambiance and music.

I have yet to play the 3rd one, but I really would like to someday.

[Arc13]

This game would've been better if it actually let you explore the world and play the actual game without burning to death 90% of the time. I mean yes they fixed the problem, but only in the literal last hour out of 30 hours.

[Masz52]

@Arc13 It really took you 30 hours to finish this? Not trying to knock you or anything, I'm just surprised if that's true. Metroid games are rather short.

[Arc13]

@Masz52 I try to 100% everything, not to mention I count the moments I spend taking in the scenery,. I found this one harder though, and my scenic routes would take twice as long due to the forementioned problems with the game. It's also due to the fact I really had to push myself to play this one, I sadly just, I wanted to like it but frankly this game just was not my cup of tea. Compared to Prime 1, this just saddened me.

[DukeOnkledNukem]

Damn those fucking Grenchlers, ESPECIALLY the dark ones. Honestly Torvus was right up there with Sanctuary, can't deny that.

[Masz52]

Haha, great timing, I was just playing my hard mode run of this game. (Well, second attempt at it anyway, my first got lost due to memory card corruption before I could finish it)

I've really grown to appreciate MP2's music lately. When playing the game it was just background noise to me, but I really like it now that I've stopped to really listen to it.

[nitrorev386]

So many memories, I felt so il-at-ease playing this game knowing somewhere, something was coming for me and I couldn't run from it. beautiful music, wonderful game.

[pikminlover72]

I love the theme, but hate the world. Water Stages, so evil. I never knew where to go or how to get there.

[shadowg3]

Lol, this games was the most frustrating in all the saga I didn't know where to go, but was a good game

[baflgraf]

This song made the game what it is. 90% of the atmosphere in this game was due to the music.

[JelloApocalypse]

This level made me rage so much D: Agon Wastes and the Sanctuary were a breeze compared to this.

[drunyon214]

I think this is as far as I got before I decided I didn't want to waste my time playing this subpar game.

[diamondlancer]

I should try this sometime...I loved Super Metroid.

[MarioGalaxy243g5]

I'm actually starting to like Echoes the most, though that may be because I like pain.

[OneWithTheNight]

I actually just finished watching a Let's Play of this, actually. slowbeef's, to be precise. He HATED Torvus Bog. |D Never brought up the music, though.

[genesisSOC]

The game as a whole wasn't great, it detracted way too far from the original, but it did have some great songs like the first one did. This one definitely being the best song in the game, if only they replaced the dark world with more light world areas... imagine how the game could be twice as big.

All that being said, this game is annoying at best. Metroid Prime 1 was a masterpiece, Metroid Prime 2 was annoying and frustrating, and Metroid Prime 3 was good but way too easy and short.

[Greenboom98]

My favorite track of MP2. Remember taking the long way just to hear the song near the end of the game :-D

[Sephiko]

I was pretty edgy playing through this when I was younger, but when I got here the song calmed me down.

[BerndSchleier]

*___* I remember standing there and watching the rain falling

[SupraDarky]

Probably my favorite place in the game with the Sanctuary. Coupled with this ambient track, the area was very atmospheric. I should replay this game someday, it feels like I went through it too quickly. It had some pretty awesome boss fights, but I remember not being a fan of the dark/light world gameplay, at least until you get a certain suit.

[Natendo64]

@SupraDarky The first few times I visited Dark Aether, the fact that I had to chill in the safe zones for a few minutes every time I moved to a new one made me want to vomit. Then I got to a boss fight and realized that they were now trivial as hell since I could just turtle in the safe zone and heal all of my wounds. The dual world gameplay rocked, but the poisonous atmosphere almost ruined an otherwise fantastic game.

[EvilMariobot]

@SupraDarky So, I guess we can expect Sanctuary Fortress to appear sooner or later.

[TrevorCBelmont]

@SupraDarky

yes...that epic suit
