	Metroid Prime (GameCube) Reviews. GameCube Games Reviews by CNET.
		As in all other Metroid games, you'll assume the role of interstellar bounty hunter Samus Aran, whose objective this time out is to search the planet Tallon IV for signs of illicit activity on the part of the Zebesian space pirates and put a stop to them once and for all.
		Unlike in previous Metroid games, none of Samus' weapons are ever replaced--her arsenal only grows in size, and all her available armaments remain tactically useful throughout the game.
		Metroid Prime is a lengthy game that should take approximately 20 hours to finish the first time through, though you could easily spend a lot more time in the game trying to find everything that's hidden away.

		Metroid Prime is a first-person adventure video game developed by Retro Studios and released by Nintendo in 2002 for the GameCube console.
		Metroid Fusion is the first game in the Metroid franchise to appear on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance portable platform.
		As the monsters in the game are actually the X parasite copying another lifeform, monsters are reduced to floating X cells when they are destroyed, which Samus can absorb to replenish her lost energy and missiles.

	Metroid: Zero Mission for PS2 on Gamerhelp.com
		The object of the game here is to defeat the evil Mother Brain who has taken control of the Metroids in an attempt to use them for evil purposes.
		The Metroid larva was given to a group of scientists and was determined to be useful for society.
		The dying Metroid falls on top of Samus and Samus is in full power and real upset that Mother Brain killed her "child" (they might be different species but a mother's instinct doesn't recongnize species).

	Metroid
		Metroid is the first game in the Metroid series of video games, and was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 in the 8-bit era.
		Scientists decide to call this being a "Metroid" and the mere thought of it being in the hands of pirates is utterly disturbing.
		This game, along with the rest of the series, is also notable for its blending of various genres superimposed onto a persistent world model of play.

	ZINTRON'S Metroid \| Metroid Rules
		However, Metroid II is more straightforward in the sense that advancement through the levels is not strictly controlled by item acquisition as in the other games, but by killing a fixed number of Metroids in the area.
		This game is the first in the series to feature the Spider Ball and the Spring Ball, all of which have become Metroid series staples, in later titles.
		Metroid II was more linear than the first game since its objective was destroying Metroids to progress rather than finding new pathways through exploration (although it is necessary to find new paths to find the Metroids).

		The Metroid in suspended animation could easily be brought back to life, and exposure to beta rays was all that was needed to cause it to multiply.
		Its creator of the Metroid Galaxy and leader of this TC GFedCmdr (aka Metroid) shot the idea around the site to many of the fans that traveled there, it caught the attention to many, but only one was truly serious, he goes by the nick Sunspot.

	Metroid Fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metroid Fusion represented somewhat of a departure for the series, as it scrapped the semi-nonlinear adventure formula from earlier Metroid games and introduced a non-playable computer character to direct the player where to go and what to do there (thus making it significantly harder to sequence break and explore freely in the game).
		Samus spends most of the game being stalked by the SA-X, which appears unexpectedly in various locations, and Samus, who is much weaker than the SA-X due to her having the Fusion Suit and the SA-X mimicing her and her Power Suit, must either hide or escape until she is powerful enough to defeat it.
		Some criticized the lack of Metroids in the game; the amount was significantly less than the other games in the series; it has the least amount of them of any of the games except for Metroid Prime: Hunters, which has none at all.

		Metroid: Zero Mission" is a Game Boy Advance remake of the game "Metroid" for the Nintendo Entertainment System, which started the "Metroid" series of games.
		The original Metroid's challenge factor was one of the reasons it was so interesting a game, but this remake of the original is too much easier than the original.
		The game is easily beaten in 1-2 hours in one sitting due to the fact that you know where to go with the Chozo statues and the new weapons.

	Metroid (species) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metroids are a fictional species of parasitic alien creatures from the video game series of the same name, originating from the fictional planet SR-388.
		However, Metroids normally drain enough energy to kill their victims - making it a target to be used as a biological weapon by Zebesian Space Pirates.
		The egg-laying Metroid Queen appears to be the only form in which Metroids can normally reproduce, but Metroid Prime can instantly produce Metroids, Hunter Metroids, and Fission Metroids, though the method of production is never mentioned in the game.

	Metroid: Zero Mission Review - GamersMark
		The game is akin to Samus' latest 2D offering, Metroid Fusion, featuring some of maneuvers first introduced in that game, such as the Power Grip, as well as bringing back others from previous Metroid games, not featured in Metroid Fusion, such as the Plasma Beam, Varia and Gravity suits.
		This is where Metroid: Zero Mission stops being the great Metroid game it once seemed to be and turns into Splinter Cell knock-off, with Samus hiding from Space Pirates, sometimes even in the shadows, in order to find her way out.
		Although, this portion of the game does happen to be entertaining, it hadn't been necessary to the game in the slightest.

		Metroid Fusion also introduces the X species, which Samus is able to battle after she takes the Metroid vaccine.
		Metroid fans should absolutely get it, as should anyone willing to trade off some quantity for some serious quality in their gaming time.
		Metroid Fusion is a brilliant continuation of the 2D series, pulling most of the successful ideas from the previous adventures while adding new elements unique to this game's design.

		As a child, Samus (the main character of all the Metroid games) was orphaned by Space Pirates, and then adopted by the Chozo who raised her as their own.
		As in previous Metroid games, the Space Pirates are the initial enemy, but the metroids are by far the greater foe.
		Metroid Prime features some of the most impressive bosses ever to appear in a video game, massive in size, strength, and power.

	Shrine » Metroid » Story :: Every Video Game :: Nintendo, Sega and more!
		In the year 20X5 of the history of the cosmos, a research team returned from an expedition to an uninhabited planet designated SR-388 with heavy casualties and a very valuable prize: a life form they called "Metroid." Its species was apparently responsible for wiping out the civilization that once flourished on SR-388's surface.
		She had plans to use the Metroid as a weapon, and had flooded her base of operations, Tourian, with beta radiation to force the Metroid to grow and multiply.
		The threat of the Metroids seemed to be over, but popularity in video games always has a way of bringing threats back to life, as we found out a few years later...

	Metroid Fusion Review - GamersMark
		Metroid was the natural predator of X, they fed upon the species, and because of that Samus developed a form of immunity against the effects of the parasite.
		Even though some faces may look familiar, under that disguise is an X. I also mentioned earlier that the Metroids fed on the X, and since Samus has Metroid DNA in her, she also feeds on the X, making the X her source of health, and oddly ammunition.
		The game is pure genius from start to finish; an amazing adventure worthy of standing toe to toe with its predecessor on all levels.

		First encountered on planet SR388, the Metroids stand at the top of the food chain, and are a parasitic species that sucks the energy from its victim.
		This new species of Metroid, which vary from Fission Metroids to Power and Ice Metroids, exhibit many of the characteristics of their SR388 brothers, but have evolved to more sinister forms including the Fusion, Power and Ice Metroids.
		In fact, it is rumored that an adolescent Metroid that latched onto her as a paternal figure has merged with her on a genetic level, enhancing her abilities and turning her into a Humanoid-Metroid Hybrid.

		From an announcement that shocked many 2D purists (the one that declared Super Nintendo's best-loved platformer was not only going 3D, but mainly first-person 3D), and the stuttering video footage and finalized name that failed to impress at E3 2001, Retro have wiped the egg from their faces and soldiered on.
		It seems for this GameCube Samus trek, that a Metroid survived even the planet explosion of the Super NES game, and was blown through space on a meteor to another planet called Taron.
		There are also portions of the game where the view isn't through Samus' visor; where you'll see your avatar in all her armored glory shortly before she transforms into a giant ball and zips around cylindrical pipe-like passageways.

		Metroid Prime towers above them all in just purely being a great game with great design, innovation and never before seen gameplay.
