I changed my mind and switched my 13 and 12 games.

#13. Metroid Prime (Gamecube, 2002)
I love the Metroid games well I love Zero Mission and know Id love Super Metroid. And here we have t the extension of it to 3D, something thatdoes not sound like it should work at all. How can you take this backtracking platformer and make it work for a 3D environment, let alone in First Person? Consider how shit like Castlevania 64 didnt work whatsoever. Yet this plays exactly like a Metroid game in 3D should. The controls and platforming are tight and work great. Being a sort of FPS, while reducing that by being able to lock on enemies-or possibly different parts of enemies, and using your various weapons on that enemy is is a combat system that works great. Just like regular Metroid games, youve got areas you cant get to, beat bosses or do other room puzzles to get more and new weaponry to make you now able to unlock doors, kill enemies, or do puzzles in other rooms. The areas in this game are also nice and distinct- sure theres always a lava/fire world in Metroid games, but in this one for example, it just finally really FEELS like a fire world. And theres actually an Ice World too, amazing. The boss fights are great too, fighting Meta-Ridley in 3D is cool.

The addition of the scanners was good too- sometimes its just to open a door or elevator, but you can use it now too to get enemy detail or even lore, something greatly lacking from these games until now! The Heat visor looks neat too, though not a big fan of the X-Ray visor, as it just doesnt make the game look good and you need it for some areas, but not too often. The object of the game being to collect all the various doodads located in all corners of the world is a good mechanic to keep you exploring deep into areas, and backtracking where needed. Love the map system too in this game. I like how each room has an individual name.



Dont really have too much to say about this game. Its just great. Its Metroid in 3D, and really feels like a natural extension of the series to go in this direction-however, I wouldnt say no to either a new 3D or new 2D Metroid!

Next up: well it was my clue from before so use that
