Metroid Prime was a brilliant reinvention of a brilliant series with the sole flaw that there were not enough save points; this is doubly so for its sequel. It's very easy to be exploring for an hour, stumble into a boss battle and die before you have worked out what it is you are supposed to be doing and with no checkpoints you are sent back a literal age. It can be hair-tearingly frustrating and a testament to just how good the game is that you will actually start again instead of throwing it out of the window! Again, a superb piece of game design but again, not for the impatient. |
