    Played another hour today and controls getting much better now. Just got the Hypermode ability.

     

    It's true the voice acting, and the other characters in the game ruin it a bit. They seem out of place, and are not well done. Character models are weak. The other hunters also should perhaps not been in it.

     

    The Ridley fight was pretty cool just now.

     

    I really rated Prime 1 as you can see from my Sig, and Echoes too, but I completed neither, so it will be interesting to see how I do in this.

    Game finally came today.

     

    Played for about couple of hours. It started a bit iffy I think. Didn't really feel like a Metroid game, or Prime game at least. And the controls take a bit getting used to and is far from perfect. I put the control scheme on expert and am finding it a tad sensitive. I wonder whether I should change it back to the default.

     

    The rest of the button config seem a bit clumsy. Missiles on D-down is not good. 1 button for accessing maps etc is also not great but then again the lack of buttons means thats the best they could do.

     

    The first level was not very good, but it is starting to pick up a bit now.

    You have to use your weak characters whenever you can to pick up more experience points. All about stategy. Use 2 or 3 characters to kill an enemy where possible so they all pick up experience points.

     

    Give bonus experience to your weak units. If you just use your strong characters to finish off enemies in one blow, your weak units won't level up.

    Its much longer than POR. I just completed it now on Easy mode. The time reads about 65 hours. This does not include the countless times I've had to reset it.

     

    This game is brilliant. If you love POR (which I did) this will be a joy as it's a continuation of that game in every way you can imagine.

     

    Time to see if I have unlocked the FMV's. You get a round up of what happens to all the characters at the end. The story concludes very well in the end.

     

    You get some neat extras like:

     

    Sound room where you can listen to all the music from the game - some are still diabled. Maybe need to play on harder difficulty to unlock them? The music is great.

     

    Theater - watch all the great FMV's again. They are really great.

     

    Event - You get to watch al the conversations again - by character as well.

     

    Records - all the games records.

    i have no problems with the difficulty. then again i'm playing on easy and i'm an expert have played through POR 3 times.

     

    you can play with the original characters and level them up. just make sure to share out the experience points. use several characters to kill an enemy. that way you get more points.

    you can play this before POR as the game fills you in with a lot of the back story. I am playing this through on easy without the save data from the previous game.

     

    admittedly you will love the game so much more after playing POR. However it will take you at least 30 hrs just to complete that game. Well worth it though I think.

     

    I have just finished Part 1 of 4. Next on to Crimea's story.

    I have this game and I am absolutely loving it. Just taken a short break to write this then I will jump back in to it. I started playing it about 11:30 pm last night and I have already clocked more than 10 hours worth. This game is so addictive.

     

    I loved POR as well on the Cube and it is definitely a massive boost if you played that game first as there is so much reference to the first game. All the while, as such a fan, makes me very happy indeed.

     

    The story in this game is building up nicely. If it continues like so, will be great. Unfortunately, I have already seen too much pre-release spoilers and one idiotic review that revealed who [spoiler: highlight] the black night was.

     

    Some of the characters that I found more annoying or useless in POR are turning out to be very likeable this time around.

     

    I will write more impressions of the game later.

    I so can't wait for Wii Fit. Sales of the Wii are going to hit the roof.

     

    I can see a lot of franchises already on the Wii, might take advantage of the Wii Balance Board for another installment which might otherwise not have happened on the Wii.

     

    Rayman Raving Rabids, Super Monkey Ball, Mario Party 9, and Wario Ware as mentioned above. Also expect there to be skiing games, more olympic ties-ins as well.

     

    Hell, Sega should consider it for Sonic Riders.

     

    Can't wait to play games that involve the Wiimote and nunchuck as well as the board. Steer with the wiimote and nunchuck and balance using the board in a bike racing game.
