Metroid Prime has undergone the same brilliant translation into 3D that Nintendo's acclaimed Legend of Zelda franchise has. |

It's not just one of the single most atmospheric games ever created, but it's also quite simply one of the best. |

Still, even with its minor problems, Samus’s latest adventure is a perfect tribute to the Metroid we all know and love. |

It's certainly the most entertaining release that the Gamecube has seen thus far, and is a must for anyone who owns the system. |

Despite all the arguments that Metroid should have been in the third person, this is a fantastic, top-notch effort and a simple must-have for anyone with a Gamecube. |

The marvelous gameplay will actually wow you at times, and Metroid Prime puts to bed any doubt that Nintendo publishes the absolute best playing games in the business. |

If you own a GameCube, you owe it to yourself to at the very least rent Metroid Prime if you don't buy it outright. |

Everything in this game is just implemented flawlessly. Taking things like the grapple beam and spider ball that one would never imagine could be brought to a 3D game and pulling them off with flying colours just speaks momentarily on the experience this game is. |

Retro Studios has brought 'Metroid' into 3D gaming with such perfection, that it's hard to understand why there was ever any resistance to the concept... A welcome addition to the series, it's difficult to find any shortcomings in the title. |
