Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For many, Metroid Prime remains the best GameCube game yet released. In many ways an atypical Nintendo title, with its first person adventuring and a dark sci-fi setting, the game was still full of the classic Nintendo magic with amazing graphics, perfect controls and incredible attention to detail.

This new sequel expands on all these aspects as Samus Arran (perhaps the only non-gratuitous - considering she spends the entirety of the game in a big metal space suit - female character in video games) explores the planet Aether, which is mysteriously split between light and dark dimensions, with unique weapons and equipment only work in one or the other. This adds an extra layer of intricacy to the gameplay and storyline and also provides a prime excuse for lots more weapons, gadgets and visors (the sound based echo visor is particularly cool). Perhaps the most controversial new feature in the game though is a four-person multiplayer mode where you can use all of the game’s power-ups and weapons. This actually works surprisingly well with the switch to a morph ball making it impossible to lock onto an enemy automatically, greatly adding to the tactical depth. It is the single player mode that is Metroid Prime 2’s most important aspect though and there seems little chance that fans of the original will be disappointed. Those that felt the original was a little too hard and difficult to control will be catered for as well though, ensuring that this game is far more accessible than the previous one. --David Jenkins

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best Gamecube game, 23 Dec 2004
By P. Bentley (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well, Nintendo have done it again. An amazing game graphic wise and gameplay wise. When I first ordered this, I thought if its anything like Metroid Prime, this will be amazing. Then I got it, and was I surprised. It was SO much better than what I first thought! More abilities and two seperate worlds to explore.

As in any Metroid game, you play Samus, who has recieved a distress signal on a Mysterious planet called Aether. When you first arrive you find out what has happened to the Federation's troops. This story doesnt seem very original, but once you get into the game its a whole different story.

The multiplayer is also good, but you are restriced to about 6-8 (sorry I cant remember) small levels. The levels in multiplayer are rather small but this was just something for when you have a few friends around and you don't want to stay on single player.

After recently completing this game, I thought it was a masterpiece. Every aspect of this game is amazing and even non-metroid fans will appreciate this game for shear gameplay. If you havent yet got this game, I advise you to. I loved it and I think any gamer will.

5/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but slightly annoying like all Metroid titles, 12 Feb 2006
This is a good game, and is an improvement upon its predecessor in every way. Excellent graphics,sound, gameplay, weapons, storyline etc. (the others reviewers here have done a good job going through the positives). But as mentioned by some reviewers, the concept of backtracking (common to all metroid games) does get very annoying after a while. I managed to overcome it in Metroid prime, which took me about 3-4 months to finish as I frequently lost interest for large periods of time (but I always came back to it). With MP:echoes, I simply couldn't find the motivation to repeat it (not because its worse than its predecessor, its just having to go through the same experience again), it just wasn't enjoyable after a while. I've not touched the game in about 7 months ( I was around 25-30% through it). I really want to get back to it and finish it, but with the whole business of backtracking it feels more like going back to finish a chore.
