Don't get me started with the bumper camera plague.
Metroid Prime:

Brilliant game , but Exhumed is better and also was the 1st game to mix Adv and FPS in one and play like a Metroid game in 3D
That video was brilliant! DF really gave some good info regarding the technical details behind the game. The in depth review makes me want to play this game today!
Metroid Prime is a masterpiece. I doubt that Exhumed is that great.Quote:

I've seen plenty of videos for Powerslave. It borrows a lot from Doom, including the backtracking that I didn't find particularly fun. Metroid is way more than just platforming and shooting, including 2 forms of the morph ball, the grappling hook, the lava suit and the ice beam. Powerslave just does too much of what I don't like and that is why I never bought the game. And don't get me started on Turok, which I found entertaining for only a couple of hours at best.
The backtracking is nothing like Doom , you have to go back to early parts of game that can't be open up or accessed until you have the right power up (straight out of Metroid) it's far more than find a red key and backtrack inthe same level. Exhumed is far more than Doom, you can talk of the Lave suit and ice beam , well without Horus Feather you'll not be able to levitate (Exhumed version of Grappling hook) , without the Protective Ankletyou'll not be able to explore the lava levels (Exhumed version of lava suit) without the Sobek Mask you'll not be able to explore the underwater stages and so onQuote:

Seriously watching videos does games like this no justice in the just the same way so many dismiss Draclua Unleashed or Gabriel Knight II as mere FMV games .
What about System Shock? It's not the first FPS/Adv either but it resembles Metroid in 3d with its map system, character upgrades needed to progress, backtracking, etc.. It's also a deeper and more satisfying game than Prime but most gamers will continue to avoid playing it.Quote:

I agree its doing far more than Doom . I mean in Doom you can't even jump or look up or down . Alien Trilogy is a Doom clone , Exhumed isn't. Exhumed basically was Super Metroid set in Egypt and FPSQuote:

I've never played the Metroid Prime games though.
