Metroid Fusion was more than all of that to me. It was one of the games that shaped my childhood. I remember I bought it without doing a lick of research (as with most of my other videogame purchases at the time) and lucked out. I started playing and was surprised at how fun it was. It submerged me into the Metroid world and it made me a diehard fan of the series. I started drawing new enemies that I could have put in the next Metroid game (I now realize how impractical that was). It was one of the games that made me love my Game Boy Advance with a passion. And it is one the games that still makes me love my Game Boy Advance.

i dont know, ZM clicked with me the most out of any 2D metroid.

prime 3 was really pretty and had cool fights and was probably my favorite wii game, but metroid prime 2 nailed the feeling of isolation and running around creepy places and poo poo which is more important to me than the stupid space marine thing prime 3 went with

Fusion plays so drat well its a shame that it bothered trying to have a story. Prime 3 is great, but i haven't played it in a while so maybe it should be reconsidered. Regardless, Other M was the peak of the franchise, so it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't even attempt to top it.

Prime 3 was originally intended to lean heavily on the "bounter hunter" aspect where you could take jobs and fly to planets, which would lock you out of other options, but sadly they had to can it and we got some half assed version instead, but I like Prime 3 a lot because of the controls.

ALL of the music in prime 2 is amazing though, even for the lame areas.

prime 3 and fusion both are tripped up a little by trying to inject some story. i just think prime 3 has some really cool areas like sky town

besides phendrana, i think my favorite metroid track is the torvus bog remix of lower brinstar

prime 2 had some great bits. lower torvus and sanctuary were both great. the second half of the game is way better than the first half.

Real hurthling!

I remember torvus being a bit of a bog slog with underwater dinosaurs that were really mean.

Famous TV Dad posted:

prime 3 was too narrative driven for me as a metroid game and i didn't like the super blaster mechanic because you waste it half the time and i could never understand exactly what was happening.

It kinda felt likea nintendo version of halo more than anything else.

Still fun and very pretty though.I loved falling through the planet core with ridley in the intro. better than metroid but not as fun as fusion which at least made you feel alone and threatened in between adam chats and that gravity boss ruled.
