"Metroid Prime: Hunters"
Megadrive - wrote on 02/08/2020
Another 3D version of the Metroid franchise that falls short of recreating the genius of the original 2D incarnations. It's slick, it's pretty and has a large, well designed play area but like the other reboots on the Gamecube, it loses its way when there is little to no indication as to where you must go next leaving you aimlessly wandering around, replaying old levels time after time in the vain hope of unlocking new, undiscovered areas. At least it has a reasonable number of save points - unlike the other Metroid Prime games - but a stronger narrative and more hints as how to progress could've made this a classic. As it is, it's a good - if increasingly frustrating - FPS.
