Typical stuff.
 
Scored 81% on metacritic, lower than Dread so far, dang.

"Turns out to be the main supporting character in the game, gracing players with his Jar Jar Binks brand of comedy quips via intercom messages and regular visits throughout the game. The other cast members are also flimsy caricatures, including the equally irritating Armstrong, a Samus fangirl who winces at the bounty hunter's presence and, at one point, even asks for her autograph.

It's sombre stuff for fans of the more grounded games in the Metroid series, and powers some dated gameplay segments, including escort and protection sequences that result in a game-over screen if your AI companions aren't properly protected. All the while, they'll reward you with dialogue barks like, "Sarge, look! She's doing Morph Ball!""

  • The core Metroid Prime gameplay is as compelling as ever
  • Gorgeous worlds with phenomenal art and audio direction
  • A cavalcade of thrilling boss battles
  • NPCs are mostly poorly executed within a weak story
  • Overly-aggressive handholding kills discovery
  • Fewer memorable ideas than Prime Remastered
 
100% completion ending reveals Samus' "new" face, hot Samus PLOT lol but too bad no bikini armor or zero suit PLOT lol:
