 Gamingredients - Issue 06 - Metroid Prime Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Metroid Prime manages to be somewhat of an oxymoron, remaining in first person for the majority of the game without subscribing to any of the traditions of that genre.
As a result, Metroid Prime's diverse environments - ranging from lava to ice to jungle - all feel like part of a complete whole, especially on the rare occasion that other areas can be seen from a vantage point.
But make no mistake - Metroid Prime is very much a classic 2d title in a 3d environment, making the transition while losing absolutely none of the feel inherent in the original series.
