A game similar to Metroid Prime for PC?

I recently played Metroid prime for Nintendo Game Cube and I loved it. So i was looking for a game for PC that was simnilar to it, but I still havent found anything.

Any recommendations? Also my PC is not so good so don't post no games that have very high system requirements.

You will hardly find anything close to Metroid Prime for the PC. Even if you do it might be something very old (altho that doesn't sound like a problem to you).Crimsader

Are you sure? I know I will find something if I keep looking... There are many shooters on the PC, probably some of them could be similar.

Metroid Prime was a very unique game and is still pretty darn good to this day, you don't see games like that come around to often. Honestly I can't think of a game that is quite like it on the PC, that sense of exploration and isolation is what the metroid games have down.

If you like that First person adventure/isolation feel the best one I've played on the PC would be the Penumbra Series....but that's quite different plot wise and gameplay wise. Yeah you still solve puzzles and explore in the first person view, but this game was designed to get into your head and scare you in the dark places of your soul lol.

Metroid Prime was (is) a great game indeed. I remember being quite hyped for Star Wars: Republic Commando back in the days, mainly due to the fact that you saw the world through the visors of your character, just like in Metroid Prime. Sure did add to the atmosphere and overall feel of the latter, at least.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on them having much more than that in common. Apparently though, it scored a 8.7 here on GS, which certaínly isn't bad. You could check it out.

Metroid Prime is pretty unique among first person games, I can't think of a single game like it with it's spider web of paths and exploration, not to mention lots of back tracking.

Dolphin *cough* I love dolphins i just wish they could play games *cough* There are a couple of gamecube and Wii games that have dolphin games...*cough* Anyway goodluck with your Metroid Prime.

I haven't played a signle game like Metroid Prime (other then the other Metroid Primes, of course). Sorry dude, I think you are out of luck.

So suggestions till now have been:

- Penumbra

- Half Life

- Star Wars Republic commando

- Portal

Thanks!I will give those a try! any other suggestions?

System Shock 2 and the BioShocks?

There is no question Bioshock borrowed heavily from Prime (as well as several other games).....

if you liked Prime (I loved it) great chance you will love the original Bioshock, a Masterpiece as well.

agreed, thats where he needs to look.

Well, I guess it depends on what exactly you liked about Metroid Prime. If you liked the interconnected worlds and exploration, I don't know if there's anything quite like it. If you liked the idea of first person puzzling, I guess Portal comes remotely close.

agreed metroid Prime is a bit of an oddity really, its been one of my fasv series since Super Metroid, Darksiders could be seen as similar in terms of game design

but the atmosphere is unique to metroid, that feeling of hostiliy and isolation

But isnt system shock a horror game or something like that?

Maybe Stalker? It's a FPS with lots of exploration and backtracking, plus the envolving atmosphere.

Well, perhaps not heavily.....but it's obvious to me that Ken Levine and company admired Metroid Prime and borrowed from it, its hard to explain but part of Bioshock consists of having the right weapons to get to different areas ala Prime, as well as returning through areas with re-spawned enemies. other things as well. I think alot of people that like Prime will like Bioshock as well.

The game also seems to have borrowed here and there from Deus Ex and of course System Shock 2 along the way. Not bad games to borrow from.

I think Metroid Prime and original Bioshock aretwo of the very best games this decade.

Aquaria is similar to Super Metroid.RK-Mara

Cave Story too. But I don't know if this is what the TC is looking for
