I love the game and think its fantastic. One big gripe.

I hate the load times. Alot of times I was confused because I would shoot a door and it would not open. It took me a long time to learn that you have to wait 5-10 seconds or more sometimes when going in certain doors. The load times are bad in some areas. I guess because of the complexity of the game. Its still a little frustrating to wait to go through some doors.

Dont complain. Not nearly as bad as some other games on other systems.

If that's your biggest gripe with MP3 then you're living! They have to load data somewhere. It would have been nice if the Wii hadmore RAM, but the only way to avoid load times would be to have enough RAM to load the whole game, and that would be wasteful and inefficient.

The load times have always been awesome in the Prime games, in my opinion. I'd rather have a slighty slow door than an ugly loading screen, and I'd rather see a nice video of Samus in the elevator when you go to different places, rather than a loading screen. I think your complaint is very silly.

Lol, I was always thought the long-opening doors were purposely there to piss you off.

They were certainly worse than the previous Primes, but not the worst by far.

like the doors my worst problem is how you have to fly everywhere and you have to watch the ship take off and fly and then land. It gets pretty annoying after a while.

Yeah I know what you mean, it's the same in Metroid Hunters. Some people can say that it really isn't that long compared to other games but, at the moment he wasn't talking about other games. Metroid Prime loaded fast for the first 2 but, for me the longer load times take out alot of the enjoyment.

A suprise that you didn't notice you could just hit A or B to skip passed the taking off/landing sequences, shortening those times by about half...

They arent that bad, but its annoying when your doing that
[spoiler] Mission where your running out of Norion and theirs a time limit, and the damn doors wont friggin open. i also thought the dark samus battle was WAY too easy, and the aurora battle was just as easy [/spoiler]

But i havent even noticed the loading times lol.

If you want Long loading times, play crash bandicoot for PS2 (forgot which one). The loading is litterally 7 mins and he is just falling in a big pit.

that is the biggest problem with the game, but sometimes, i have fun doing some "last stands" at the door, waiting for the door to open unexpectedly. You just have to make some fun out of it sometimes

stop complaining, nintendo made so the doors take long to open so that you didn't have to suffer through long loading screens. the game has to load at one point or another, right?

much better than ugly loading screens....i mean, you can still move at normal speed and do everything you normally can while it was loading. It had me thinking that certain doors were purposefully delayed in opening :P

The Wii only has 96MB of RAM, so I'd like to know how you could play a game that's several gigabytes without having to load data somewhere. It would have been nice if you were invulnerable while waiting for a door to open. Or they could have made the doors animate a little more, so you'd have something to look at.
