    Grin Metroid Series!

    Let's just talk about the Metroid series in general here.

    What do you think of the Metroid Series? What games in the series have you played? What's your favorite? Etc. etc.

    Now discuss or else.

    Hah, I should just copy-paste that conversation from #eoff yesterday!

    I've played and completed Super Metroid, Metroid, Zero Mission, Fusion and Metroid Prime. Although I've not played too many of the games, I really enjoy them. The stories are interesting enough but I really am a fan of the relatively simple but dependably entertaining gameplay style. I like the exploration and making note of places to return to when I've a new piece of equipment. Oh and the Ridley fights. I've been playing a fair bit of Metroid lately; I finished a replay of Zero Mission the other day and I started a new game of Prime today!

    Oh, yeah. I remember that conversation.

    Prime is a really great game. Probably my favorite in the Prime Games. I won't spoil anything, but I disliked Metroid Prime 3's closure to the Prime Games, and also its lack of connection to the main metroid series.

    I completed all the numeric metroids (metroid, metroid II, super metroid, metroid fusion), and I did it again in my metroid frenzy some months ago (including zero mission). I like them, but the prime series not that much (Prime 3 sucks X6).

    While I'd still like to try the Prime games the rest of the series doesnt interest me. Granted I have only given Super Metroid a good amount of my time, if I cant get into that then I doubt Ill get into any one of the other games.

    What didn't you like about Super Metroid? And what interests you about Prime?

    I've played little bits of Super Metroid, Metroid 1, and Metroid Prime. I've finished Metroid 2. (I got it way back when it came out. Bought it with my Kool-Aid points. :P) None of them have really been able to hold my interest. I kind of had to force myself to finish Metroid 2. Actually, I quit playing soon after I got it. It wasn't until years later when Smash Bros. came out that I started playing it again. I was like "Oh, hey, Samus. She's cool. I should play Metroid 2..."

    You know I probably couldn't tell you why I disliked Super Metroid. It just never clicked with me. Maybe its heading down the desolate corridors with no sense or direction that turned me off. I don't crave linearity but a game where you wander aimlessly just gives me no satisfaction. I'm sure that didn't answer your question. Eh....

    As for Prime, well I have observed someone playing the game and the change of perspective made things look more inviting. I know its fundamentally the same style of game but in first person but I'd still like to try it. Although to play it I'd have to buy a Gamecube or Wii. And buying a system for a game which I'd most likely dislike wouldn't be one of my wisest decisions.

    what has kept me farr away from prime 3 is the fact of how it is on the wii...if they would make it to where you dont have tro use the chucks then I would try it at least

    I've played every Metroid released to date. On every system. NES, Gameboy, SNES, GBA, DS(Metroid Prime:Hunters), GC, Wii. I enjoy each and every game. As for my favorite? I'm really not quite sure. I enjoyed Metroid Prime 3 the most of the prime series, solely for the controls. It really does feel so much more natural. But the story of the first Metroid Prime was my favorite of the Prime series.

    I really liked the Zero Mission remake of the original, it added so much more to the game. The original will always remain a classic, but unless you know what you're doing, the game is almost impossible.

    I don't know, in summary I enjoy all of them, probably because of the endless exploration they involve.

    I haven't played it, but the general consensus seems to be that the controls for Metroid Prime 3 are awesome.

    well I heard that the sensitivity is way to high and even the slightest movement made it go across screen

    the sensitivity is adjustable, and it's actually best on a very high sensitivity. People that do huge arm movements when they play the Wii are just silly/dumb. No game ever needs anything more than small wrist movements. I can sit, lay down, etc while playing the wii. I can rest my hands in my lap and still control everything as well if not better than people that try to get way into the games.
