Ten's thoughts on playing Metroid Prime for the first time.
DISCLAIMER I haven't gotten very far at all (read: Ten is still in Tallon IV). Some of you may know that I haven't played an FPS before, which is exactly what Metroid Prime is. This clearly means hilarity ensues, right?
RIGHT.
The Wii controls were really easy to get the hang of, thankfully ! There's a couple of problems (due to me sucking), such as going MORPH BALL instead of jumping (THANKS A LOT, BRAWL) and me waving the Wiimote too much, so I end up looking at the ceiling haha. Also, because I haven't actually played any Wii games where I have to hold the Wiimote steady for extended periods of time, my right wrist hurts a lot now get out of the gutter. Graphics wise, the HUDs and various other floating hologramy stuff hits my design pings, and I like being able to scan the wildlife. Although, sometimes I can't tell the difference between rocky ground and ACID.
Aside from all that, my reaction to this game has been, in order:
1) OH GOD WHY AM I BEING SHOT AT OMG DIE DIE DIE AHHHH
2) OH GOD WHY WON'T THE SPACE PIRATES DIE THEY'RE ALREADY ALMOST DEAD WHYYY
3) ASDF;KLJ SECURITY CAMERAS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO SHOOT YOU
4) GODDAMMIT SAMUS WHY DOES EVERY PLACE YOU GO TO HAVE TO EXPLODE??
5) Game Over. > Would you like to reload your game?
6) Oooh wildlife!
7) I'M COVERED INBEES WASPS
Edit: AUUUUGHHHHH 1.5 hours worth of battling, powerup getting and more importantly, NOT DYING down the drain because of sudden LOL ACID WITH NO WAY OUT OF IT.
