My hot, spicy take on Metroid Prime - It did NOT age well. *Spoilers*

I don't think the backtracking is that bad in metroid prime? except for the artifact hunt, especially if you save them all to the end, that one's a big of a pain

prime2 definitely does a better job of keeping areas interconnceted in different ways that unlock as you progress, though. I always thought it was strange that 2 was much less liked than 1
