Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004)

I don't get the hate for the Sky Temple key hunt. People say that the clues are too obtuse, but if that's a problem for you, check the Keybearer lore rather than A-Kul's clues. It's much more explicit with there keys are. That and the level design being much more cohesive makes this key hunt an improvement over Prime 1.

It's almost as good as Prime 1 and 3 but there are too much backtrack between dark/light word. Still a masterpiece.

More of the same isn't a bad thing until you get into the 15th + hour of the game. Finally finished Metroid Prime 2 and it held so much frustration for me in multiple areas. Going to take an extended break and then play Corruption to finish off the trilogy.

Nearing the end and to be honest I'm keen for it to finish. Some bits are quite frustrating, some design choices annoying. I'm 15 hours in so I know I'm not too far off. I've also become aware that there's an endgame fetch quest. Was the fetch quest in Prime welcomed at the time? Is that why there's a repeat? …

Got up to the Spider Guardian. Had a panic attack from frustration. Good times. Honestly feels like I might not even finish the game now given that I was having such a hard time with the controls. Flicking the Wii Mote isn't as intuitive as I'd like and I missed countless jumps from it (at one point I was onto …

One thing that I absolutely loved about the first Prime game was that they added a puzzle element to the fights against the pirates with the different weapon types. Echoes goes a bit further and makes ammo for the light and dark beams only appear when the other is used. I think this is a fantastic layer added over the …

Still enjoying this game immensely. I didn't want to use a guide but it feels necessary in places given that I don't fancy spending hours backtracking and I would like to finish the game by the end of my holidays.

Level design is too good. Saw a grating with cracks in it, chalked it up to level design details and then spent 2 hours backtracking trying to find out out to progress. Broke down finally and used a guide and realised I had to use a bomb to break the grate. 10/10 level design would play (and cry) again.

Finally started playing it. Already noticing some appreciated tweaks such as objects being highlighted depending upon their scan status. Looking forward to spending the next 20 hours on Aether.

This really fills like a filler game..the light and dark world stuff is generic as heck..Dark Samus is super generic too...the Luminoth just feel like discount Chozo...the only interesting thing are the ing which aren't explored at all and feel like the corrupted twilight from Zelda... The game majorly lacks proper sign posting and save points are kept nowhere near …

So I am still really enjoying this so far, but the locations are a bit more dull than the first game imo. I also find I care about the Luminoth much less than the Chozo. Game 1 felt like it was building to a grand reveal and I was uncovering a story. Game 2 feels much more...standard...so far.

my gosh this game is even better than I expected so far. gahhhhhhhhhh Why is metroid so good?
