Metroid Prime is one of those games you can't just call it "a good
game", it's pure art, with an atmosphere reaching perfection and being
absolutelly amazing in every single aspect possible, this masterpiece
stands as one of the best games ever made, and surely the most amazing
game of its generation!
Like everything so innovative and great, it may be a little hard for
you to really get into this game, you may have a not so good first
impression, but that's just before you realize its greatness. The
transformation of a 2D platformer game into a real 3D game couldn't had
been better, the game type is a mix of first person shooter, third
person shooter, action and adventure, and these fits really well
together, making it a really revolutionary and immersive game!
The graphics are truly outstanding, both technical and artistically,
when released it had one of the best technically looking games, and it
continues that way even for today standards, but it's artistically that
the game is unbeatable, amazing ambients perfectly crafted and
designed, not only to achieve graphical greatness, but to create
something that will become timeless, graphics never had been more
coherently made than here, with ruins destructed by the massive power
of time, caverns so hot that will make you sweat, lands so cold that
you will feel the cold breeze coming out of the speakers, and
everything experienced by the privileged sight of the inside of Samus
suit! Colossal monsters will make you lose your breath, and an
outstanding storyline following everything nighly, pure classic!
The sound and sound effects are the best ever created for a video-game,
mostly techno and beats that will make you raise your concepts about
music in games.
That's Metroid Prime, not only the most amazing piece of art of its
gaming generation, but one of the few games which could be called "art"
after all.
