Blade said:Ozy: I'm pretty sure that it doesn't make a difference if you have PLII. I have a PLI system and I get perfect surround in games. Julian Eggebrecht (misspelling..) from Factor 5 says that PLII works with PLI systems. Just letting ya know.
it works but i think there is only one rear channel for DPL1, againts two on DPL II.
I got the game last night, and I agree with the PGC and the majority of the other sites. The game is F-ing great. I haven't felt this good about a game since TOOT. I don't know how, but Retro has made a 3D Metroid game in a first person perspective.
This is also the most polished looking and playing game I have ever played. These are my impressions and I'm only at 4% and 57 minutes into it. The game gets better and better with each new passageway I find. Damn, why do I have to work?

Please stop giving your impressions! I can't take it anymore!
Must.. play.. Metroid.... Prime!
I got even more hyped by playing through SM, and I'm working on MF. Both flat-out awesome games.. man, I can't wait for the afternoon. It's Super Metroid in 3D, damnit. And not like Sega's GUNVALKYRIE, which was more action than adventure..
But really Metroid! Samus Aran! Ice Beam! Ball form! Nintendo! And this time Shiggy worked on it! Come to me, MP!

That GamePro score is better then it sounds too, because it was actually a 4.5 out of 5 and GamePro's scores only go up in 0.5 increments, so a 4.5 is close to perfect with them.
Yep this game seems to be getting great scores from everyone so far. From not knowing anything about Metroid I find myself getting extremely hyped for this game, more hyped then for any other (that included Zelda). I even got Super Metroid on a SNES emu the other day and have started playing it for the first time
BTW I just noticed that GameRankings have removed the 10/10 from Gamers.com (EGM). I wonder why?
I think they might of finally gotten fed up with the 10/10 reviews.. albeit that many of the games deserved it.
Like Metroid Prime, and maybe.. just maybe Super Mario Sunshine and Ratchet & Clank. SMS = 94/100 (I agree with GameSpy on this game) and R&C got high marks on IGN.. but you could round them up..

I dont think Mario Sunshine deserves a 10/10, it has plenty of faults ,its a great game but far from perfect, I am about 4 hours into prime, so far..perfection, I dont have a single complaint.

Thanks for the link CaptainHowdy. But unfortunately Freeloader still isn't out and the release has now been out back many times. It might not even be out this year
Although I am tempted by this offer:
http://www.goblindirect.com/MainContent/prodDetail.asp?prodID=1174&productCat=GameCube
Its a Platinum US GameCube, stepdown converter, memory card, Metroid Prime, Controller and VA leads for £169 ($266). I wish I could afford that.. maybe if I sold my PAL cube I could afford the US one... hmmmm

Forgot to say: gotta run--date with Samus
I played prime for about and hour and a half and all I can say is DAMN. This game is the epitomy of videogaming. Never before have I seen a game so well rounded from top to bottom. From graphics to sound to enemies and bosses to level design..oh that freaking AWSOME level design..prolly the best I've ever seen. I'm not quiet ready to claim it the best I've played..but it's been a long time since I've been in that 'zone'..it's damn sure up there with the greats like Zelda:OOT, Castlevania and ..well..Super Metroid. MP is eerie as hell..dark and moody and the story through scanning is hella cool..you learn about what the hel happened to those poor souls and it just is chilling.
I also bought Splinter Cell and Metroid Fusion. They'er still in plastic wraps. Now that's saying alot. I'll check them out tommorrow..right now I've got to me my new/old girlfriend Samus.

My only hope is that Freeloader is finally soon released so I can get the U.S version sooner.
I can understand your feelings because I am from Europe, too. But at least Metroid Fusion arrives soon. I hope this cheers you up a bit.
