Best feature of MP?

imported_Parrakarry · 02-21-2003, 12:40 PM

Personally, I think that the fact that it has no noticable load times is awesome. I have noticed that sometimes cut scenes take a while, but it's better than showing a damn loading screen. Also, the morph ball's been done really well -- much better than I had thought it would have been done.

Definately the camera in morph ball. Best 3-D camera EVER. However, I find it hard to concentrate on where I'm going while keeping an eye on a boss or something... so I never use morph ball when fighting big things, but... STILL COOL!
And yes, the lack of load time AMAZES me! Fufu! I also find it funny that Metroid only takes up 1 block of save space, compared to Animal Crossing's 57... fufu... Even my bonus Zelda disk with the old Ocarina of Time on it takes up more space...

The NES Metroid game. It was released 2 years before I was born and I finally have the chance to play it!

there are loading times but they're disguisted as looooooong lift animations

the only annoying thing is when you go up against metroid prime and you realise that you forgot to scan JUST 1 CHAZO LORE AND YOU HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE GAME AGAIN

04-07-2003, 05:10 PM

^^It's better than seeing a "Now Leading" screen. Trust me.

^You don't have to start the whole game again. Just go back to wherever that lore is and scan it, then return to the crater.

Anyway, my favorite feature of Prime is how they successfully managed to get the Metroid itself in 3D. We have always seen it from the front, and until now, can only imagine how it would look from the side (or even the back), but they did an impressive and believable job. I am just impressed with it.

Metroid.

A Genius · 04-07-2003, 09:48 PM

The original Metroid. Heck, I didn't lke Metroid Prime itself at all.

Metroid Prime is cool and everything, but it's missing one thing...
It's missing a Multiplayer!
SOme of you probably disagree, but sometimes I wish I could shoot my buddies to death with Super Missiles.

04-16-2003, 03:51 PM

Multiplayer wouldn't work for a series that has only one protagonist.

blakyoshi7 · 05-15-2003, 09:50 PM

^ That's why it needs another one. I have a complete bio for another one. say if u r interested and i will put it here.

05-24-2003, 08:55 AM

hey people, lets get it up for Samuel Aranof!!

loooool

blakyoshi7 · 05-25-2003, 11:46 AM

^Actually, the guy's name will be Erko Aran. (yes, you read that right. Erko Aran. As in Samus' brother.)

There's only one thing I found quite annoying. On mine, you go up to Chozo Ruins{at the beginning of the game}, it will occasionally freeze as soon as the camera begins to run at the end of the elevator. The best feature is the Plasma Beam!!!!! No one can stop its awesome power!!! Best feature as in graphics, the visors that you use in the game. They did a good job on the visors.

06-22-2003, 12:44 AM

^ I am addicted to that beam.

They need more two P co-operative shooters, like with Perfect Dark. That game was the multiplayer BOMB.

dfx · 07-28-2003, 04:55 AM

The strategic combat. Like Halo, the game gives you a variety of ways to tackle your enemy. Your first beam weapon is never rendered obsolete even when newer beam weapons are introduced. How you use them accordingly determines your success. Throw in missles, bombs, which visor you're suing, and the super missle combos and that's one strategic combat system.

The Fusion Suit. Am I the only one that said that?
