At The moment I'm playing Fusion(got it today and haven't stop playing) and just got my ass kicked by Sa-X(Again)...just wait till I get my suit back and then I'll show you whos boss... _________________ "I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept." - Calvin

Just got the Ice Beam in Metroid Prime. Holy crap it is sweet. I thought it would come before the Wave Beam but NO, it came AFTER.
8 hours of play, 5 energy tanks, 100 missles, and just got the Ice Beam. Just felt like sharing. I haven't played Bond or Robotech yet. _________________ anime is teh s uck

Since we've been talking about metorid Prime I have a question. Does it come before fusion? I mean you get the Ice Beam In Fusion you aren't able to use it (if you don't understand go look up a preview it'll explain why). Now Back to Fusion...God Sa-X is a bitch to escape from _________________ "I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept." - Calvin

You rented it? Damn. That's takes stupidity.
Anyway, Fusion is after Super Metroid (so it is the latest in the timeline). I believe Prime is after the first or second one. _________________ "KUSANAGI!"

Just got Gravity Suit, 105 missles (Would be 110 if I was a bit smarter and went to get that one and THEN saved and went ALL THE WAY FROM CHOZO RUINS TO EDGE OF PHENDRENA (I hate having to travel long ways back and forth . . . )) 6 energy tanks. About 1/3 of the time I have logged (9 1/2 hours total time) is just wandering around looking for missle expansions and energy tanks. This game is so damn addicting. I only died once, and that was fighting Thardus. Didn't mind cuz that fight was fun.
And the constant bombardment from Sheegoths, Baby Sheegoths, Flying Pirates, and Ghost Pirates is really starting to piss me off. Although icing a flying pirate and then shattering it with a missle is pretty damn fun . . . _________________ anime is teh s uck

No you retard. I got it as a gift, I'm saying I may not return HERE, to this message board, if it destroys my brain with its uber-cuteness. Jesus, pay attention next time. _________________ I have not yet begun to bitch.

1) I'm sorry, I only had 5 power bombs at the time of my last post, not 8 (typo).
2) The sheegoths and baby sheegoths get ridiculously easy as soon as you get plasma.
3) I think I have like 125-130 misiles right now, 6 or 7 power bombs, and 11 or 12 energy tanks. Just got to the crater and damn are those fission metroids are annoying. Did they really have to make them spawn endlessly?
4) I know what yo mean about the running around--and it only gets worse. My list of complaints for the game so far (rather short, though):
a) My index fingers hurt. It sucks having to hold down the L button for the duration of a battle.
b) Did they really have to make you use grapple at the very beginning, especially when the grapple beam wasn't in the first game?
c) The running around thing.
d) Some of the battle areas are a little small, particularly Omega Pirate and Meta Ridley-- they back you into a corner and hammer on ya far too easily. Maybe if their attacks didn't hit you in ball form when their hands are three feet away from you (ball form, I've found is a good way to get out of a corner).
e) Hearing the same repetative grinding noise they call (battle music) gets a little repetative when you have to hear it every minutes. Maybe if they had 3 or 4 that it switched around between...
There are, of course, some really classy additions to the game. Things that make it by far the best game ever. Here are just a few:
a) The whole tourean overworld rain and condensation stuff. If you haven't played this game, you have no idea how glorious it is, to just look up at the rainy skiy.
b) Actually hearing the snow crumple beneath your feet.
c) That whole spider ball thing to get plasma. That was great. I couldn't stop laughing. Speaking of laughing,
d) beating the rick monster in Phendrana. Seeing Samus get hit in the back of the helmet with a rock just cracks me up.
e) The visor reflecting your face back at you under the right lighting.
f) The battle music against Ridley. Oldschool vs. new school goodness.
g) The grapple is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Props for not making it a bitch like I thought they would.
h) You never have to pause during a fight to switch weapons or items (remember how annoying that was in Ocorina of time).
I) It's jsut awesome. Go play it NOW. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Alright kiddos, you've had your fun.
Post your love of Metroid Prime somewhere more appropriate. Don't make this a gaming competition. _________________ "KUSANAGI!"

Well I'm out of the races regardless. Stupid Blockbuster started calling the house wanting the game back and my parent forced me too. Eh, at least now I have enough money to go out and buy it ^_^ _________________ Bang.

Just one more negative to add.
NO SCREW ATTACK.
Granted it would have no real benefit in a FPS. And that it would be difficult to animate in a FPS (Does the camera switch to 3rd person everytime you jump? Would the screen just flash? etc.) But it's still the damn coolest thing in the previous Metroid games. _________________ anime is teh s uck
