I haven't played this game, but it looks incredible. One problem.. as much as I love games, I suck at them. I'm not a sook, but it is quite frustrating to die about eight times every half hour. So my question is:

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being an infant could beat it, 10 being you have to be as skilled as those japanese guys at tetris, where does MP3 lie? Thanks!

I'd say on the Veteran difficulty its probably a 6 or a 7. So my guess is that Normal would be somewhere around a 3.

This is only my opinion anyways.

It has three difficulty levels, the hardest of which has to be unlocked. If you play on the easiest difficulty, I'd say a 3/10. If you play on the hardest, mmm, 7 or 8/10.

easiest is 3 to 4. you may die on bosses the first try (though i only died on one) but you can beat them the second time guaranteed since you'll know what to do. a lot of the game is being patient, trying to figure out how to advance.

From what I've heard about the game, you should be fine on Normal difficulty...

Yea, normal is real easy, you should be able to make it through the game without dying too much at all. I didn't die at all, but I've also played the first 2 a lot, so despite having different controls, I still know what to look for. So, you should have a great time with the Normal mode. Then, you can always move up from there if you feel like more of a challenge.

I played normal and IMO since this is my first metroid game the fighting wasn't too hard but I wasn't used to the puzzles and the scanning so I'd give it a 6 for difficulty on normal.

It is one of the easier games I have beaten. There are a lot of hints and prompts, and the enemies aren't all that hard. The environmental puzzles are great, but they are fairly easy as well.

Yeah the game pretty much tells you where to go next to if you just keep exploring. I have no idea why tons of people keep asking where to go at a certain point. It's one of the easiest games ever.

On Normal, it is easily the easiest Metroid Prime game. On Veteran, it is slightly harder than Metroid Prime 1. On Hard, it's like 1/17th as hard as Metroid Prime 2.

MP3 is pretty easy to play. i played the first 2 and i thought that game wise and difficulty wise the first one was hardest and best. (although i did have trouble with that emperor ing in the second one) when i got MP3 i didnt like th easy controls i had to change them to the hard controls. but altogether MP3 is a pretty easy game like everyone said it tells you where to go so just try it

What is the map like in this game? If it's anything like the one in Metroid Prime Hunters, I'm screwed.
