Metroid Prime 2; who's getting it?

[Metroid Hybrid]

Well, the question's in the name but seriously the game looks fuckin' sweet! I found me a dvd with some videos on it.......:smt050 haaaaaaa.........beautiful....
Hell I have mine on reserve....... and you?

[Komposit]

Sure do. My pre order is paid in full. Also, to show my nerdiness off...I will be wearing my MP2 shirt the day, the game comes out.

[MusicFan]

I getting MP2, I loved the first, loved with I played of the second. Viewtiful Joe 2 was great as well, anyone know the release date of that game?

[Arandar]

I'll get it eventually, just once I get the first one. :razz:

Luckly I think the first one is going down to 20 bucks soon, or already is, so I'll pick it up around Christmas when I get money. I would have already had it almost a year ago since KB Toys was having a big going out of buisness sale, but the left the damn box on the shelf and didn't have any more copies of it! That pissed me off since I would have got it for around 15 bucks brand new. Ah well.

The good thing is theres so many games I want to get now that are only 20 bucks(GC and PS2) that I can just pick those up without it being to big of a hit to m wallet since I need to save money up. Then when I get done with all those, the newer games I want will have come down in price. Of course things could always be made easier if I won the lottery, but this is certainly better then nothing. :wink:

[SplinterCellMGS]

Im definately getting it. I loved the first one and the 2nd looks very good.

[inertname]

I'll be getting it eventully, don't have the money right now.

Too behind in what games I already have so it's probably a good thing.

[Metroid Hybrid]

cool...
I say a review out of my trusty EGM: they love it, it's a true old school style game like the first one. And -like the first one- the only thing really against is they can't seem to be able to deal with a game without some epic storyline and/or plot twists.....whatever
And fortunatly, they compared the multiplayer to Halo 2(which was reviewed in the same issue...) which, seems kinda unfair really.
All-in-all they gave it: 9.0 9.0 10 (out of 10) seems like asteal to me. :biggrin:

Oh, is it just me who thinks Dark Samus is like a freakn' ninja?

[Komposit]

Im actually glad this Metroid has a story...I saw some information on it at Gamespot. It said, that this game will have a story but, It will be done with text -- Instead of using voice overs. That makes alot of sense (IMO) becuase times change and voice actors die...However, with dialog the charater will always be the same. Besides, people actually have to read this way! Keeps people smart...

[DarthEvilDude]

if i had a cube, i would get it, because after playing Metroid Prime for a while, i realized how freaking sweet it was.

even though the controls are kinda wierd, there is a whole lot of game under the hood.

Yea. Like I said it's not a FPS, It's an FPAA (Action/Adventure) and even though the controls kind of suck, it doesn't make the game worse -- The auto lock works fine and still produces challange.

[Metroid Hybrid]

ah, challenge! :smt050 . Not hard; Challenge!
The word to describe Prime, happly seated right next to fun.

Though I'm sure that the lock-on is a little weird in multiplayer, but I'm sure it works...

Yea. I don't think the MP will be that bad neither. It looks really fun to me. :smt072

[DarthEvilDude]

ooooh, i didnt know there was multiplayer as well.

hopefully my friend will get it so i can check it out.

If you can get past the rather outdated 1 analog stick controls, Then you will love MP2. You can pick up a new GC for only 100 and a used one for only 50. Plus, MP1 is only like 15 bucks now. If you get the money, I'd recomend buying a GC.

yeah, but i'd rather spend 100 bucks on an upgrade for my system.

if i won the lottery, i'd buy a gamecube after i buy a big-ass 22" CRT Monitor.

I'll most likely get one once the next round of consoles kicks in.

It's all good as long as you don't bash consoles (which you don't). :smt066

[DarthEvilDude]

yeah, i only bash the games.

lol.

Anyway...In other news, Gamespot gave Metroid Prime 2: Echoes a 9.1 out of 10.

[Metroid Hybrid]

:smt044 Three more days! :smt026 Three more days!!
(At least untill Walmart ships it...)

Meanwhile I'm gonna take a quick refresher course via the first Prime on good'ol hard mode! :D

BTW, who else has found 100% in the first one? (No spoilers for those who haven't please...)

[alexsan]

Maybe. I may rent it first. I really didn't like the first. WAY too much backtracking and I had no clue what I was doing or where I should go

It had an easy to use mapping system...It showed you where to go...

[Metroid Hybrid]

yeah really, plus, it's like uh.... A Metroid Game!!!! It's an adventure game!!
but whatever

Oh and.......

:smt026 IT SHIPS TODAY! IT SHIPS TODAY!!!!!!! :smt026

wee.....clear my calender :-D

[Komposit]

I get MP2 on wednesday, yippie! I will be playing it all day long and probably even through the late hours of the night.

[Komposit]

I was never a big fan of MP1. Sure it was a good game, but the claustrophobic level design and slow combat got on my nerves at alot. And he scanning..... Bleh.

Atleast this one is more action oriented and has bigger environments, along with an ACTUAL storyline. I'll pick it up eventually, but I'm not too excited.

Well, Like I say...Metroid (Any of them) isn't for everyone.

[Komposit]

I admit Prime doesn't feel as smooth and well balanced like the 2D Metroids. I still found Prime to be a very fun and rather unique Metroid experience though.

[kadosho]

I'll be renting a copy of MP2-E over @ hollywood video, this friday.
"renting" i know its a bit much to say, but just how it is right now.
I will for sure buy the game full price, at a later date.

[Komposit]

My EB called and said it came a day early! I just got it and I'm about to put it in my GCN!

[Kratos]

.......lucky arses..
I barely have enough money for the DS, so itll take.... 2 months till I get Mp2...
:smt044 :smt069

[MonkichiRmon]

kewl...its awsome...im maybe half way thru it, and i can't wait to have enough time to finish it up during the holidays. I think i like this one better than the 1st...but that's a maybe mind u..lol
