Metroid Prime 1 was great except for the artifact hunt at the end and the entirety of the Phazon mines which would have been more suited for something like Quake.
Metroid Prime 2 has some of the best atmosphere seen in any game. The art and monster design is the best of any game I've seen. The problem is the dark world. It's not so much dark as it is purple, and there is way too much of it. Ammo for beam weapons was stupid too. And of course there was another key hunting quest which is never fun. They could have improved the game a lot by just cutting a lot of dark aether and a few annoying bosses. There is an excellent game buried here and if it were not so difficult to hack console games like this then I think modders would have rescued it.
Metroid Prime 3 was trying too hard to be Halo.
I would love to see a Metroid game that ditches combat almost entirely and focuses on exploration and atmosphere. Something open ended and slow paced to allow you to experience the exotic alien imagery. That's why everyone likes Super the best because that's where it's strongest. The inclusion of multiplayer DM in MP2 was just disgraceful and retarded. The action in Other M looks nice but it is exactly what the series doesn't need at this point. Still I am looking forward to it.
