    Though it's not quite as memorable as the first game, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is an excellent sequel that's beautifully polished and -- in some aspects -- better looking. Pros: Excellent graphics, control, and sound; involving story; stunning visuals; challenging. Cons: No widescreen mode; weak save system; multiplayer feels secondary.

The light and dark world mechanic is interesting, but it really doesn't make the game any more fun. If anything, going back and forth between worlds is just a bit tedious. Also, the dark world is very annoying.
    This is still a great game, however it is a bit disappointing given it's outstanding first installment.    … Expand

    Hmmm... I loved the first Prime, absolutely loved it. This one I didn't love quite as much at the beginning. Maybe because it just seemed the first game couldn't be topped, and for some reason this one didn't reel me in right away. I even quit playing it halfway through. Then when I came back after a six month hiatus and tried picking it up again, I seemed to enjoy it much better. TheHmmm... I loved the first Prime, absolutely loved it.

    I'm giving this an 8 since the levels look the same especially Dark Aether. Sure it supposed to be dull and colorless since, well its Aethers dark twin. This game is a little more suggestive then the first Metroid Prime since enemies now are a lot more scary looking and sounds from them sound very vicious. Multiplayer is so so

    Me gustó mas el primero. Metroid Prime 2 es mas de lo mismo, pero con nuevas habilidades y un (discreto) multijugador. Seguía siendo un buen juego, pero ya no sorprendió tanto.

The multiple weapons you can use can have different damage outputs depending on the enemy, which have two types, light and dark. other then that, the light ad dark beam are only reskins of the plasma and ice beam from the first game.
    The game a alot harder then the first one, especially the bosses. They can be so difficult, that they can take at least 3 or 4 tries to beat, especially that spin guardian. This is a game you should try out sometime, even in 2017.    … Expand

    Great atmosphere and gameplay, but as a follow-up to Metroid prime it carries the same flaws the sequel should have offered us a better story, world building and puzzles but they are all just like the original. Metroid prime 2 isn't a bad game but a lazy follow up to a more important game.

    The first metroid prime was the fondest memory i had as a child. Its music made my skin tingle and its bosses produced fear that I had not experienced up until that point. Likewise echoes doubles down on these positives with added variety to its madness. The only con i had was some areas feeling washed out in terms of aesthetics and color

The controls are... well, you know gamecube primes controls, but they do work thanks to the lock on. This games puzzles are awesome(and I don't like puzzle games). I enjoyed getting lost here. But that's the problem, I DID get lost. And while, especially in the second main area, it was fun at first, it DOES get annoying after a while, and this game is way easier to get lost in then in every other game. The enemys were all fun to fight, BUT they were definitely spongy without the light and dark beams. The bosses are also great, SUPER fun, but they have quite a bit of waiting to them to get the weak spot(I didn't really have a problem with that personally but other people did) I only really had a problem with 3 of the bosses, but even then I still had good fun. I LOVE the dark world to death, apart from the times it nodded me in the wrong direction which was more then once but other then that it felt awesome. This game uses different takes on combat and exploration than prime, making it a fresh experience. But I've mentioned quite a few problems in this, so it won't get to high. On a tier list it'd probably be near the bottom of A tier, and for an out of 100 review score, I'd say I'd give it an 81 at minimum and an 83 at most. but since I have a scale of 10 here, I'll give it a 8.… Expand

    Funny how I read a few reviews and people compared this game to Halo 2 as if Nintendo and Microsoft are having a "who has the biggest dick" contest and are throwing out their armored space-fighters to do the talking. I played Halo 2 on the PC and thought it was **** but everyone says the port was **** so who cares. The PC of Halo 1, however, was supposed to be good and I found it boring.Funny how I read a few reviews and people compared this game to Halo 2 as if Nintendo and Microsoft are having a "who has the biggest dick" contest and are throwing out their armored space-fighters to do the talking. I played Halo 2 on the PC and thought it was **** but everyone says the port was **** so who cares. The PC of Halo 1, however, was supposed to be good and I found it boring. Why people have to make the Halo v Metroid comparison is just baffling. Metroid is clearly better because it isn't nearly as boring. The environments are way nicer. And Samus is much more appealing than Master Chief. So can we stop comparing now? Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is a sequel to the stupendous Metroid Prime. While I expected MP2 to not out-do the predecessor, I didn't think it'd falter this much. Then again, I consider the first to be nearly flawless while the second doesn't feel quite like a Metroid game should. That isn't to say that it's bad. But it just feels out of place in Metroid continuity so it's an awkward fit. What's good? Envinroments are as nice as ever, better detailed this time around. You also get to encounter friendly aliens for once in your miserable life. They are the Luminoth and they don't want you to be assimilated, but, instead, help them fight the Ing, a race of dark monsters that were created by some kind of weird disaster. The corrupt living and dead things to do their bidding, Borg style (I guess you might get assimilated after all). But where's all the Metroid **** we had to deal with in the last game? Well, for those who managed to get 100% completion in the first game, you'll see that Metroid Prime's new form (ala Dark Samus) is a main antagonist to the game, but lacks the tension that SA-X brought to the evil-Samus-clone department. Also, for some reason, there are space pirates here and they brought Metroids so that way this can still be called a Metroid game. Like I said, the story in this game doesn't quite mesh with the rest of the Prime trilogy and I don't like that. I'm also not a fan of ammunition for Samus' lasers. Yes, it may make it feel like every other bull**** FPS game that is out on consoles these days, but Metroid is better than those and doesn't need to be trying to copy those bastards. Besides, we all know that Dark beam is the same as the "Ice Beam" and that the light beam is the same as the "Plasma beam". Let's just drop the shenanigans and leave the ammunition limits to missiles like they've always been, okay? I would argue, however, this game is definitely harder than the first, but not impossible. It's just that the environments don't feel nearly as linear. So getting lost might happen from time to time. Not to mention that going between Light World and Dark World will force you to search through twice as many areas. And let's not forget that Dark World hurts you where as, in Zelda Tradition, it just makes you see prisoners of some dark magic spell and fight chickens. The addition of a multiplayer feature is definitely awesome, but I feel it lacks something. I love being able to see who the better Samus is. But there are so few levels (even if you can unlock two of them) and there isn't a lot of variety to really make the game challenging. Maybe if they included some maps from Metroid Prime 1 and allowed you to use characters from Metroid Prime Hunters, then it might be a lot better. As it stands, however, multiplayer is fun for a bit, but gets old fast. On the whole, MP2E is a good game, but it is well overshadowed by Metorid Prime 1. It still does a lot right, but I just think the crippling issue is that the story seems a little out of place. Lack of Kraid got some fans pissed at MP1. Now we don't even have Ridley and the pirates aren't that big a deal anymore. Now it's a bunch of shadow-bugs or whatever. I'd say this game is still worth getting, or at least renting.… Expand

    I wrote a review for Metroid Prime Remastered recently, saying it is my least favourite in the trilogy. I immediately take that back after revisiting Prime 2. This is my least favourite playthrough of Prime 2 (my 3rd playthrough) and it reinforces my feeling that as I keep revisiting older games I start to notice I like them less and less as time goes on.

    Metroid Prime 2 is a good game. I think it's the worst in the trilogy (I'll play Prime 3 afterwards but I don't think it will change this time around) but it's still fun. 2 however comes with the most problems:

    If I was complaining about Phendrana Labs in Prime 1, well, the underwater section of Torvus Bog blows it out of the water completely. It's so much worse. And in general Torvus Bog is just really bad and really boring.
    The constant 10 second transitions between Aether and Dark Aether, the multiple encounters with invisible enemies, far before you get access to the Dark Visor in order to deal with them (also they close the doors during several of these encounters to force you to defeat them), the cumbersome beam ammo management, the multiple poorly designed boss fights. Oh, how I hate Boost Guardian so much. Chykka, Amorbis, Alpha Blorg and many others aren't much better tbh. The final boss battle against Emperor Ing is so painful to go through.

    Thankfully, Sanctuary Fortress is really good. It almost makes up for how bad Torvus Bog is. Fortress is honestly one of the best locations in all of Prime, it's really fun.

    Prime 2 is still bogged down by a lot of annoying little things and this last playthrough of mine really disappointed me, but I still recommend the game although like I said it's easily the worst in the trilogy imo.    … Expand

    It's definitely a long game, if only for the continued backtracking through areas you've been through a few times before.

    The visors make for some cool graphical effects, and visuals are top notch (60 frames per second in 2004, say whaaa!) though the audio - primarily the soundtrack sounds rather artificial and dated compared to many other games released around the same time. The shrill synth notes and repetitive riffs had me drop the music volume down via the options screen.

    The thing that irks me the most about this game is the way it needs to be played different from all the Metroids before. Take Super Metroid on the SNES for instance - you'd pass a yellow door and know to come back later when you had the Power Bomb. Now, you've got the cool 3D map in Metroid Prime 2 so you've got an even easier job of finding a path back to the door. So you get the power bombs and decide to make your way back - HOWEVER, due to being locked in a 'side quest' of 'Collect the 3 keys' you'll find yourself locked in a section of the game world and unable to progress until you complete the menial task.

    This kind of momentum breaking distraction occurs several times over the course of the game and combined with the disorienting transitions between the light and dark Aether I found myself unable to play the game for long without becoming frustrated at the 'stabs in the dark' approach to discovering the exact predetermined way forward.

    Don't even get me started on the overuse of the Morph/Boost/Gravity Ball in this game. Is it 2? 3 bosses that depend on its almost exclusive use?

    Not a terrible game, but the worst of the console-based Metroid titles.    … Expand

    In time for Metroid Prime 4's announcement I decided to warn people about this game.

    As a long time fan of the Metroid franchise it's frustrating that this game was designed for a narrow audience that likes their games brutally unforgiving. Nintendo typically makes games with a balanced difficulty to challenge the player. I've completed every Prime & mainline Metroid game to this date.

    As a long time fan of the Metroid franchise it's frustrating that this game was designed for a narrow audience that likes their games brutally unforgiving. Nintendo typically makes games with a balanced difficulty to challenge the player. I've completed every Prime & mainline Metroid game to this date. I've only given up several times one the NES original for being unfair & frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hard. I've defeated the Unamed King in Dark Souls 3 & felt rewarded. In Prime 2 we get leeway to ease the challenge only by collecting every hidden upgrade in the game. That's fine but this game punishes for exploration. When you revisit sections you have to battle enemies who like to run around at top speed, that lock you in rooms, which then go invisible, & take way too long to inflict damage upon. Not till the end of the game when I combined light & dark suit power into my inventory was I able to cope with exploration. There are some boss battles that require you to switch between ball & suit. It becomes so riddled with difficulty spikes that I wanted to actually smash my controller. I had not been that angry while playing games in years. Every time a boss got too hard, I would dread back tracking to get better items because it's so easy to get lost. Not only that but the dark world drains health by roaming in it. By the time I got to the end, the boss fights became more and more unforgivable. They would place me in long winded battles depleting health bar after bar. When I died, I got sent all the way back to a save station. Had to hike back to the boss, watch cutscene, & face trial while experimenting to find weak spots during battle. When I fought my doppelgänger, the boss was impossible. It turned invisible & required pin point timing to inflict a small amount of damage on. The biggest slap in the face was before I got to end game. Just like other Prime games you need to find every hidden artifact possible. First game was mellow by comparison. I mean, the sky keys are like finding buried treasure while being blind folded. This game is overrated to no end. As a positive I wouldn't mind replaying this game if they ended up remaking it with less frustrating bits. Under the difficulty lies a gem. It sucks to hate this game over a programming decision like that. But then again how did Nintendo not think they would alienate a lot of fans by choosing to go this route?

    PS. The Prime series had some moments, but I've never seen any enemy from the original except for Ridley. In 2 we don't even get that. No basic enemy types are familiar. We never got Mother Brain once. Just some odd looking thing at the end of 3 that needed to be shot in the back of its head while pointing up with a Wii remote that couldn't detect off TV motions.    … Expand

    I enjoy exploration in video games but it has to be rewarding. It seemed like the items in Prime 2 were nothing more than elaborate keys to get to other locations. Most items were literal keys. While I get that's kinda the point to exploration games, in Super Metroid the grapper had utility on top of swinging around. The hookshot in Zelda had hella utility besides going from point A to point B. The Screw Attack is the worst, as in Super, and pretty much every other metroid ever, the Screw Attack turned you into a spiral of invincible destruction. In prime 2, again, basically another key. It let you "jump longer" and had virtually no utility outside of that. But the worst part was, that each time you obtain a new "fun" item such as the morph ball, bombs, ect, they LITTER the area with doors and areas you can't reach until you get a DIFFERENT item. Like, haha, congrats you got this piece of **** bomb ball. Betcha wish you had spider ball tho don't cha? Guess you'll be back HERE again, won'tcha **** My final rant just deals with the lazy "get behind them" combat that is common with 90% of bosses and several VERY annoying enemies. It leads you to holding L to lock on, right or left on the stick to strafe behind them, and attempting to double-tap jump to quickly dash to the side. Problem #1: You can't see where you're dashing to. You take damage, fall off cliffs, hit walls, ect. Horrible. Problem #2: As you double tap jump, often times you simply JUMP up in the air, which actually SLOWS your strafing down causing even more frustration. Problem #3 is that it's hardly telegraphed whatsoever if you're far enough back behind the enemy to hit that precious weak spot, and if you miss, you'll take another 30 seconds to charge up another shot and by this time they've done their little 180 hop and are facing you again. Another problem is that the enemies rarely drop anything worth value (no exp) so by the end of the game when you have enough HP and armor, you're basically roaming the halls of the game going from point A to point B taking tiny amounts of damage the whole trip, completely ignoring enemies. Quality gameplay.
    That being said, the graphics were pretty and samus wasn't some crying whiny "I'm just a girl" sex object. She was samus. Seriously the art design and detail made up half of my 4/10 rating.    … Expand

You'll see yourself run from one secure light source to the next, trying to figure out where to go at the same time. Since the world itself hurts you, you'll also spend nearly 5 minutes waiting in each light source you come accross to restore your health. So, walk for 1 minute, stand still for 5, rinse and repeat. The game might have been good it not for the Dark World but it ruins the game. Please Metroid, stop trying to be Zelda, you really fail at it. Ennemies also take forever to kill. Not that they pose a threat. They're all so predictable and easy to dodge. But they have so many HPs they take forever to die. I know you get light ammo to kill ennemies faster (which you need to replenish...seriously, replenishing BEAM AMMO in Metroid?! What were they thinking?!) and a light armor, which prevents you from losing life energy in the Dark World. But you get the armor near the end of the very long and boring game. I never could endure the game long enough to reach it, not once in the 3 tries I gave it over the years. Also, I know backtracing is an issue in most Metroid games but this world basically having 2 duplicate maps just makes it so much worse. Seriously, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 3 and yes, even Metroid Prime: Hunters on the DS are all masterpieces in my book. But Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is the black sheep of the series. One that seems to be there just to remind you of how amazing the other 3 are. Here's hoping that Prime 4 will not be like this one.… Expand

    Whilst none of the levels quite match up to the stunning quality that was Phendrana Drifts, it is, as a sum of its parts, wonderfully evocative as a playing experience and induces the same level, if not more, of internal satisfaction that Prime achieved.
