  Metroid Prime (creature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metroid Prime, a native to SR388, first came to Tallon IV years before the events of the first Metroid Prime via a meteor.
Metroid Prime is revealed to be the nexus and source of all Phazon based activity on Tallon IV, and directly responsible for the subtle decline of the Chozo on Tallon IV.
After a short period of time, Metroid Prime, antagonized by the Chozo as "The Worm", slowly began to produce malicious Phazon based toxins that soon corrupted the planet, bringing a spiraling decline to the Chozo's once glorious civilization.

 Metroid Prime GameCube Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Metroid Prime is a game of exceptional imagination and design, one of the best experiences any video game machine can offer.
Prime uses such details masterfully to recreate the Metroid universe, breathing a new presence into its creatures, spaceships, and gadgets, and yet there's isn't an instance where we don't recognize them or mistake them for being anything other than the very same creatures and ships we've seen in 16-bit colour before.
Some creatures, such as the Stone Toad or the Baby Sheegoth can be difficult to kill and will need their weaknesses figured out, while the boss monsters for each world in the game come with complex strategies and ask you to use both your brains and reflexes in order to defeat them.

 Metroid Prime - GameCritics.com
Metroid Prime picks up the story right where Metroid leaves off, as Samus tracks the fleeing space pirates back to their current secret base on Tallon IV where they have resumed their metroid research.
The reasons for Samus having her suit, the mystical abilities of the metroids, even the fact that the enemies get harder near the end of the game are all logically addressed and at least partially explained.
Metroid Prime is obviously a great Metroid game, but it's a lot more than that.

 Gamingredients - Issue 6 - Metroid Prime Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
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.
Nary a creature seems out of place when put in context, giving world a very coherent feel while still feeling alien enough that Samus is far away from home and any allies.
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.

74 SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
Metroid Prime stands up not only as the most original, diverse and simply awe-inspiring game on the Gamecube, but as one of the five best videogames I have ever played.
While Metroid Prime engages on no level other than gameplay, that gameplay is so perfectly tuned and refined, so continuously evolving and clever that you'll keep playing and playing, even when you're frustrated, even when you're honestly just a little bored with the back-tracking, and even though you don't care about the character or story.

Metroid Prime doesn't play like any other game that's come before it, and it emphasizes exploration and investigation at least as much as pure action.

 Metroid Evolution - Fan Reactions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
As you said once before, it was most likely part of the fact that the world was in 3D, mostly open, airy environments and required that Samus not be able to access every location as easily as she might were she able to jump as high or run as fast as she could before.

 The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : GameCube - Reviews - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Instead of small creatures littered about the landscape, each area has a few larger enemies capable of delivering a more massive punch, some of whom can rip through a couple of energy tanks in just a few moments.
Players also obtain a dark beam and a light beam, and their use is vaguely reminiscent of Ikaruga: Dark Aether creatures are weak to the light beam and monsters killed with one beam will drop ammunition for the opposite beam.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes had a tough act to follow, but it managed to improve upon the look, sound, and feel of the highly atmospheric series.
