Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

revolution666's Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GameCube) review

The Greatest Video Game Ever Made, As Far As I'm Concerned

My all-time favorite video game, Echoes takes everything great about Metroid Prime and amps it up! As opposed to the isolated, sometimes almost bleak feel to the previous game, Echoes's atmosphere is more open and simultaneously darker. The actual gameplay hasn't changed too much, but the addition of various characters, backgrounds, and a parallel universe adds so much more to it. The puzzles have a very unique feel, as well, with the aspect of having to travel back and forth between the "Dark" and "Light" worlds. And let's not forget that this has two of the greatest locations in any video game: Torvus bog and Sanctuary Fortress. Definitely one of the most underrated games out there, even with it's positive reception.

When Metroid Prime was released in 2002, critics and fans said "a game like this only comes around every once in a while". Based on the enormous gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime, they had a point. However, Retro Studios has proven that lightning can strike twice, and it can strike quickly. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes improves upon everything at which its predecessor excelled. Namely: atmosphere, music, puzzles, and combat.A hallmark of the Metroid series is the eerie atmosphere in which t...
