In this first-person adventure, become the bounty hunter behind the visor once more and travel to a planet torn into light and darkness. Hunted by a mysterious entity and a warring race called the Ing, Samus Aran must explore the light and dark worlds of this doomed planet to discover secrets and augment her suit's weapons and abilities.
When Samus investigates an abandoned Federation ship on a planet named Aether, her ship is incapacitated by a freak electrical aberration in the atmosphere. Crash-landing on the planet's surface, she finds the scene of a slaughter. A group of creatures borne of darkness, known as the Ing Horde, attack her and steal a number of her Power Suit's abilities, leaving her for dead. As she soon comes to realize, the planet has been dimensionally doubled: One exists in darkness, the other in light. The peaceful people of Light Aether, called the Luminoth, are slowly being destroyed by the Ing Horde, and the loss of their generators will mean the permanent eclipse of the planet by Dark Aether. Not only that, but Samus soon finds that something more dangerous than the Ing stalks the planet surface: A dark creature is on the loose, and growing more lethal by the minute. Read More »

I think Metroid Prime 2 is better than Metroid Prime 1. This is one of the best games ever made.

This game definitely IS underrated. Comparing it to the original Prime is what hurts it. MP2 is way more "thinking man's" game more than the first and takes time and patience.
It looks a lot like the first Prime but it is definitely not the same game. Definitely a lot of annoying backtracking, here.

Dark game, very complex and very amazing. It's like A Link To The Past in a way, as you can travel between a dark and light realm to solve puzzles in one other.
