The next game I'll be playing is obviously Retro Studios' follow up to Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The initial impression that comes along the strongest is that this is very much the same game as far as control and game play are concerned. It's easy to see why it should be, it's the very same engine reworked. Which means everything that was good and bad about Metroid Prime should be coming along for the second trip. One thing they seemingly ditched is the constant chiming in of the game telling you that you need to get to a certain point every few minutes like clockwork. They allow you to explore in peace. This seems like an improvement at this stage of the journey. But if the world is as large as its rumored to be, how will I feel after an hour or so of being lost should it arise? We'll have to see.
Next time will cover the game play of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
