Sadly, this is how I feel too. The first Metroid Prime game was very good. In my opinion it was the best 3D version of a 2D series ever. But, Metroid Prime 2 with it's Dark/Light just felt kinda gimmicky and not very fun. I'm looking forward to Metroid Prime 3 though... even if I'm kind of worried that this Hypermode is going to give me the same gimmicky feeling.

To answer the topic creator though, it's hard for me to judge if you should pick this up since I've been playing Metroid since the NES days. There is a story, though it's very 'behind the scenes.' If you're worried about not understanding the story then trust me, it most likely won't be a problem.

I do suggest though, downloading Super Metroid for the Wii VC. It's a classic and it truly defines what Metroid is all about.

"gimmicky"??? how did going back and forth through a dark/light rift torn by a massive catastrophic event feel gimmicky?? and u obviously havent seen any videos of samus in hypermode..it is freakin awesome! nothing about any of the metroids is "gimmicky"......mario can be "gimmicky" at times but not metroid.

As far as Metroid Prime 2 is concerned, burfeindt21 pretty much hit the nail on the head. It felt an awful lot like A Link to the Past for me. And in general, I just didn't like the Dark/Light premise of the game. To me it felt like they just took a very cliched light vs dark idea and duct taped it to Metroid Prime.

Yes. I have seen videos of Samus in Hypermode. I love how this "super powerful version of Samus" only works on a "limited time basis" because otherwise "Samus will become completely corrupted." *sigh* Why can't I just play Samus the way that she is? The worst part is that I'm willing to bet you will be required to switch to it in order to open some doors and defeat some enemies and most definately the bosses.

When I say "gimmicky" perhaps what I'm meaning to say is just "not classic Samus." I don't feel there is anything wrong with the classic formula which was nearly perfected in Metroid Prime 1. Samus has enough tools at her disposal without needing to defer to the corrupting power of Phazon. IMO. Then again, I think I'm also one of the few people who thinks that the original Mega Man series was just fine without any of the tangets (X, Battle Network, etc...). But lots of people were "tired" of that.

In my opinion, I would definitely get Metroid Prime3. However, like mostly everyone else is saying, it depends on your gaming style. This is a sci-fi first-person adventure/sci-fi fps (plenty of puzzles,exploring,and shooting, basically). If you like those kinds of games, then this game is probably for you. But first, make sure you play Primes 1 and/or2 and see whether you like the gameplay. Personally, I think both games are fantastic, no matter what people say about Echoes. Then again, everyone's opinion is different, so it depends on what you think, but at least give it a try.

there are a few different ways to look at it, if you wanna play it go for it...it wont really affect anything...but if you wanna play it for the story line...then you got alot of work ahead of you, and alot of system jumping...

metroid (nes) though i actually perfer Metroid: Zero Mission(GBA)...basic remake of the NES version, only better...also has the original NES version on it after you beat it.

Metroid Prime 1,2,3 (Gamecube/Wii)

Metroid 2 (gameboy)...and good luck finding it, i should have bought it when i saw it in a used bin at EB Games...

Super Metroid 3 (SNES) very awesome

Metroid 4: Fusion (GBA)
