Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Review for GameCube at GameSpot

No_Style

It was only two years ago that an upstart Texas developer named Retro Studios allayed an industry's worth of skepticism by delivering Metroid Prime, a sublimely rendered 3D take on Nintendo's beloved sci-fi adventure series. That game defied many gamers' expectations--it more accurately re-created, from a first-person perspective, the moody, exploration-based shooting action of past Metroid games than many doubting nostalgists thought possible. Prime was, in essence, an unexpected and unadulterated success. In the last two years, Retro has perfected and evolved the form of its previous game to bring us Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, a sequel that takes the established framework and builds on it with diverse new locales, innovative abilities, and inventive gameplay. Despite the addition of a middling and somewhat unnecessary multiplayer component, Echoes stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor, delivering absolutely everything you'd want from a new 3D Metroid adventure.

I ordered this game from outpost, and it still says preordered (the game came out 3 days ago!!)

I loved the first though, I've probably beaten it 6 or 7 times now (gets a little shorter every time too) I've got sky high expectations for this next installment in the Metroid series as well. I'm a little worried about how the multiplayer aspect will flesh out, but I'm trying to stay optomistic.

Hopefully the game will ship before Thanksgiving arrives so I'll have something to do

And Virus, you're wrong. Best game ever is Diablo II
