I got this game for free in a bundle with my GC and felt ripped off. It had gloomy music, too much backtracking, was too large and easy to get lost even with a map  :O , and boring gameplay for a FPS. It needed more killing enemies and less finding powerups and artifacts. Seriously I mean you lose all of your upgrades within the first 30 minutes of the game. WTH!?  The enemies were annoying and the final boss was annoying as heck. Took forever to beat Metroid Prime.  The only thing I personally liked about the game were the graphics and the bosses. Meta-Ridley FTW!  Though I have to admit Corruption looks a lot better.

Sounds like you have a case of "Preferring Shoot-em up FPS's and Disliking Metroid Prime Because it Involved  Puzzles and Exploration Syndrome." In effect, the makers of Metroid Prime were trying to retain some of the exploration and collection aspect of the original Metroid Games while placing it in a 3-D first person shooter environment. The apparent lack of enemies is probably because each room has a set number that return after you leave and come back later. This was done to probably let people focus on defeating them before having to deal with the environment too much.

Metroid Prime is an FPA not an FPS, and Metroid Prime 3 is the same.

Exactly, just because it has a badass in powered armor and a first person view, doesn't make Metroid Prime an FPS at all, it has shooting elements, but it has as much, if not more exploration and environmental puzzles.

I liked Metroid Prime because it boasted a nice combination of puzzle-solving and enemy-killing.  My favorite ppart was going back through to find all the Artifacts because it added a nice exploration element to the game.  And even though there weren't lots of enemies, the enemies that I faced were still a fun challenge, especially the final boss.

I forgot that since this is the Metroid Board I might need this. *puts up flame shield*

That's just your opinion, I suppose. I personally love Metroid Prime -- in my opinion, it's the best game for the GameCube. The graphics were wonderful, the puzzles were great, and the AI was good. The boss battles were epic (Flaghara blew my socks off! :D), and the entire plot and atmosphere were excellently done. I'm still working through it, in fact, and plan to beat both it and MP2 before I pick up Corruption.

I loved that game and I got it and I beat it in 24 hours. I loved it and wouldn't stop playing it. But it is your opinion.

When I first played Prime, I was hooked....until all the upgrades were lost. :P I was hoping for a FPS (No research FTW!) but like most people said, I found a FPA instead. Good in some ways, bad in others I just don't enjoy Prime as much as I feel I should. :(
