We all have our own opinions. Maybe you got the impression that they were "stupid shooters" but you can't really judge a game until you've played it. There is an actual story line and more to the game then just shooting things. man i hate those games, why can't they just be like mario or megaman? Because if they were like other games, they wouldn't be unique.  |

I've put the entire plot in a spoiler for those who don't want the game ruined for them. The game begins as Samus receives a distress signal from the Space Pirate Frigate Orpheon, whose crew has been slaughtered by the Pirates' own genetically modified experimental subjects. Upon arriving at the ship's core, she battles with the Parasite Queen, a giant mutated version of the tiny parasite enemies occasionally seen in the ship. Having defeated it, the Parasite Queen falls into the ship's reactor core, setting off the destruction of the ship. While Samus is escaping from the doomed frigate, an electrical surge destroys all of her Power Suit upgrades, and she encounters Ridley, now a cybernetic version of himself called Meta-Ridley. She watches as he flies towards Tallon IV before giving chase in her gunship.
Samus initially lands on the Tallon Overworld, a rainforest-like area. She discovers the Chozo Ruins, the remains of the Chozo civilization on Tallon IV that was destroyed with the crash of a meteor, which contained a corrupting substance called Phazon and a creature known to the Chozo as "The Worm". Samus locates a Chozo temple in Tallon Overworld, and discovers that the temple houses a seal to the meteor's impact crater, which the Space Pirates are trying to break. The containment field is powered by twelve Chozo artifacts, which must be found to open the path to the crater.
Samus finds her way to the Magmoor Caverns, a series of magma filled underground tunnels. The Caverns are used by the Space Pirates as a source of geothermal power, and connect all of the game's other areas together. Following the tunnels, Samus journeys to the Phendrana Drifts, a cold, mountainous location home to an ancient Chozo ruin, Space Pirate research labs used to contain Metroids, and ice caves and valleys home to electrical and ice-based creatures. After obtaining the Gravity Suit in Phendrana, Samus explores the interior of the crashed Orpheon, and then infiltrates the Phazon Mines, the mining and research complex which is the center of the Space Pirates' Tallon IV operations. Here she battles Phazon-enhanced Space Pirates and obtains the Phazon Suit after she defeats the monstrous Phazon-mutated Omega Pirate.
During her exploration of Tallon IV, Samus finds the twelve keys to the Artifact Temple, and lores recorded by both the Chozo and the Space Pirates, providing some more insight about the history of the planet and the two races' colonization of it and other activities. As she puts the last of the keys in place, Meta Ridley appears and attacks her, but is defeated by Samus with some aid from the temple's defensive artillery. The Chozo Artifacts and Phazon Suit allow Samus to enter the Impact Crater, where she finds a Phazon mutated beast called Metroid Prime. After she defeats it, the dying Metroid Prime steals Samus's Phazon Suit, reverting her armor to the Gravity Suit, and she escapes the collapsing Impact Crater and leaves Tallon IV in her ship. In a post-credits scene, Metroid Prime uses the Phazon Suit to recreate its body, becoming the entity known as Dark Samus, the antagonist of Metroid Prime 2 and 3. |

lol, yeah Groom's pretty much got the story down, but there is a little more emphasis on the scans and lore than groom seems to be puting out, and it's very adventure based. There are a lot of puzzles in it, you don't really just blindly kill everything. You have to find its weaknesses, the environment encourages you to experiment with your powers and abilities, you have to be wary of where you go, i went to magmoor before i was supose to and i died of overheating, so your not an invincible killing maching, until the last boss, by that time youve got enough power to restart a dying planet
@groom, which did you like better I or II?

I just copied and pasted from Wikipedia, haha. And I think I've only gotten through two areas on the first, probably played more of the second, but that was long time ago. I really need to play them again. can you equip items or can you use all of them at once? You have different types of missles and such that you switch between. |

you have 4 beams to choose from(Wave[Electric], Plasma[Fire], Ice, Power), missles, a special missle type for each beam(Flamethrower, Ice Spreader, Super Missles, and an Electric Beam), you cant turn abilities on and off like in super metroid, though most abilities do opperate seprately, but the turn on/off was unique to the super metroid game. you've got to go around to find the missle specials, and most of your abilities, i like it
