Metroid Prime took the Metroid series into the three-dimensional realm of gaming, and applied Star Wars-inspired aesthetics with the combined evoking of that classic Nintendo feeling you get with their Grade-A+ games; it took the platforming of Super Metroid and Super Mario 64, and took the FPS-formula of Microsoft's Halo and did it even better!
I think Nintendo is like the Walt Disney Company of gaming (or maybe more like Apple Corps: the label and company that licenses The Beatles) and Retro Studios could be like the PIXAR Studios equivalent, making Nintendo and Retro like the Disney-PIXAR partnership of video-gaming. Their games have comparable polish and finesse to them that it's no wonder they Retro was bought out by Nintendo; they're like-minded companies with like-minded goals for games that live on past any contemporary restraints of modern gaming appeal.
Metroid Prime is a timeless classic that's easily worth any devoted player's cash and love. 5/5 stars.
