It’s better than many (most?) games on the GC but, as a Metroid fan, it’s easily my least favorite mainline one with only OG Metroid 1, OG Metroid 2 and Other M ranking lower.įirst of all the whole dark and light world is such a cliched and overused trope, especially from Nintendo, that it was eye rolling for me even in 2004. One boss in particular requires you to do so as well and as such it might be the worst boss in any metroid game ever (again I highly recommend the trilogy version since the springball helps make this better). Some of the puzzles can be pretty annoying though since they require you to precision platform, which is very difficult Prime's physics-based morphball. The game also really loves the morphball for some reason and has tons of puzzles based around it. If you're going to play it I'd highly recommend the Trilogy version since it has massively improved aiming controls and the springball. Some bosses however are pretty terribly designed or are just generally annoying to fight with the gamecube version's clunky tank controls. Combat in general is a lot more challenging in Prime 2, with regular encounters that can actually be pretty tough on your first run. The level design is generally significantly better than Prime 1 since it has way fewer "backtrack to a point across the entire world" moments than its predecessor. I put it mostly on par with the first Metroid Prime (it's better in some areas but worse in others).
