Metroid Prime Remastered

Overall the game is super well made. It holds up not only graphically but play style as well. The controls are so much better with dual joysticks. The only piece that's dated is the save system but even that is tolerable because you rarely die in the game. I wish some of the artifacts were a bit easier to find and I wish you didn't have to go back and forth so much in many of the areas. There probably isn't as much back tracking if you know where the elevators will spit you out but I have trouble reading those. The story is typical: bad thing causes a calamity, someone tries to extort it, and you have to save everyone. However in most Metroid games you are saving the galaxy from an unknown threat to much of the galaxy. Much of what makes the games fun is you are on your own and just surviving. You're a lone hero who doesn't have much acclaim other than some small notoriety as a bounty hunter. It was a fun game though and I was glad to be able to play through it again after all these years.
