Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime is a sci-fi adventure. Samus Aran returns in her first 3D adventure. Metroid Prime is in first person putting you (the player) behind the visor giving the effect that you are Samus herself. In Metroid Prime, the planet Tallon IV has been struck by a meteor. It brought with it a strange substance known as Phazon. The Phazon kills living things and mutates those that can withstand it. The Space Pirates, seeing the powers of this substance as a way to increase their power, come to the planet to research it. They begin experimenting and have some successes. Samus must stop them for they wish to dominate the universe. As Samus, you can scan your surroundings to learn about things and later on you can view your surroundings in infrared and x-ray when you aquire those visor enhancements. There are 4 beam weapons: power beam, wave beam, ice beam, and the plasma beam. You start the game with the power beam. As Samus, you also weild missiles of course. Each of the 4 beam weapons has a combo attack. In morph ball mode, you can use bombs and other special abilities you aquire on your adventure, such as boost ball, spider ball, and power bombs. The bosses are large and highly detailed. When you beat the game, then you can take on hard mode! All in all Metroid Prime is an excellent game. I would call it a must-have game for any Gamecube owner.
