It is worth pointing out, however, that audio cues are often very useful when trying to track elusive enemies or master their attack patterns, and a not insignificant dimension of the experience is lost without the excellent mood-setting music and those piercing enemy screams.
Metroid Prime was the Nintendo success story of this generation, resurrecting the series (which has famously underperformed in the East but thrived in the West) at just the right time and in just the right way.
It is Metroid Prime, but free from the pressures and expectations of being hailed as a landmark title and benefiting from a more clearly marked structure for progression, it is in some ways an even more enjoyable experience.

 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - GameCube Review
Metroid Prime was still most definitely a Metroid game, and that really was the best part about it.
The classic Metroid exploration factor is still in place, and exploring Aether is still as interesting as exploring Tallon IV was, but the fact that the emphasis is no longer on exploration but instead been replaced with the mandatory keyhunt puts a damper on the whole experience.
The fact that I was impressed with Prime's music through and through, and then hearing the reprise of the main theme during the credits which was absolutely fantastic, I must say I hoping for something similar in Echoes as the credits rolled.

 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Electronic Gaming Monthly - Find Articles
SHANE: Metroid Prime, released in 2002, shocked us all with its brazen disregard for genre rules and confines—it looked like a handsome first-person shooter, played like a secret-filled, meandering adventure game, and, against dizzying odds...still felt like old-fashioned Metroid despite the dramatic shift from 2D to 3D.
Another key holdover from the first Prime: crafty pacing that pushes you to explore while simultaneously thrusting oodles of can’t-get-it-yet secrets at you that you’ll return to later in the game.
And I don’t just mean the familiar Metroid sounds, enemies, and power-ups—although the expanded morph ball sections and return of the somersaulting screw attack (both perfectly implemented in 3D) bring a tear to this old-timer’s eye.

As MP2 opens, Samus Aran is hot on the heels of a group of Federation Marines that tracked a group of Space Pirates but was never heard from again after landing on Aether.
Although there’s a good story central to MP2, the action is great and eclipses the action found in the first game – a few of the boss battles are absolutely titanic.

Out of all the big name sequels that have appeared or are appearing this year such as Burnout 3, Half-Life 2, San Andreas and, of course, Halo 2, you'd be forgiven for not noticing that Nintendo have quietly slipped this game out in time for Christmas.
And this is an enormous shame, because Metroid Prime 2 doesn't just equal some of these games but in many cases surpasses them, and is easily one of the best games of the year.
This time out the more traditional Metroid powerups of the freeze beam and the wave beam are gone, replaced with the dark beam and the light beam.

 IGN: Metroid Prime 2 Echoes Review
Depending on whom you ask, Metroid Prime is even today described as the best game ever created, an amazing transitional sequel for the franchise, or a surprisingly well-produced adventure game that should have featured dual-analog control.
There are people on both sides of the fence, but few would disagree that the title was at the very least a success at recreating the series in the first-person perspective while remaining true to the play mechanics and smart level design that helped make Samus Aran a star to begin with.
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, in every way an extension of that winning formula, does not.
