I said it doesnt feel as Metroid-ish as Metroid 3 as where you actually had no clue where to go and stuff. However i like Fusion over Prime because it felt more storydriven. Not that it makes it more Metroid-ish itself. But it was something that i am very attracted to in Fusion that i would like to see. I mean most of the time all we know is Samus in a spacesuit with a ultra sexy gun. But with Fusion we can find out who Samus as a person really is, and that is one thing i like about it is all.
Its also more Metroid-ish where its a Explorer Platformer. I mean where are those death defying leaps in Prime? Wheres that coolness of wall jumping up a long corridor or using a speed booster and plowing through a pile of bricks and straight into a missle canister? Where are those platforms that you hop around so much trying to avoid the boss's special attack? Prime is an open field most of the time...kinda..meh. And where is that sexy SCREW ATTACK? God i miss flying into enemies (yes with SpaceJump...not a wimpy 2x Jump) and using your body as a weapon. Even Smash Bros you can do that, but Prime doesnt have it =/ I just personally think it didnt make it as a Metroid game but you might.
Adam might have been annoying but interaction is a key to character development which Fusion had some. Without the scan in Prime, i get lost...and bored...blehhhhh...or as Omecle says neeaaawww... XD
EDIT: Hey its fine if you like Prime, i just didnt think it lived up to the Metroid standard, but you might have. I can see how some people might like it, but i just didnt like it as much as i would have liked is all. Again to the original poster, do not let me stop you from buying this game, its not that bad and i think at least one run through of this game is needed.
EDIT2: I think Fusion is more mission oriented than Prime with Adam in it. The feeling of doing something for greater good or the feeling of "Mission Complete" is not as apparent nor as pressed in Prime...my opinion though.
