Re: metroid prime.(2002)

Easily the best Metroid game by far. The music from House always reminds me of Metroid Prime. It's probably my favourite NGC by far.

It's also one of the few games farmed out from a Japanese company that actually turned out excellent. I wish I could say that for all the other titles the Japanese companies passed the buck on.
