I went back to the Ice Belt with my new power ups and just wow! Love, love this game.

The game is clearly much better than some critics are saying. Its damn fun and Miles is pretty hilarious at times.

Only thing I can complain about is the linearity. So far it doesn't have the complex labyrinth feeling. It's still most definetly Metroid Prime.

It does have a lot of that. Maybe if they had figured how to interconnect the regions

I am not liking it, the ice forge was a TERRIBLE level devoid of anything interesting. This is one of the poorest Metroid games I have played, the level design is just not there. Combat is the best in the series and bosses have been great but it's missing most everything else. Maybe as I get more powers it becomes more interesting.

Yes Volt forge is vintage Prime. Just beat it.

These reviews claiming hand holding, there was no help at all in Volt forge, I couldnt even radio miles.

Now Im back in the desert and dont even have an objective. I'm just left to figure it out.

I'm out cruising around in the desert now and yeah, it's definitely not the most exciting thing to do in the game. Not exactly hating it myself but can certainly understand why others might. Myles can be a bit annoying by chiming in from time to time while I just want to explore the desert but isn't too intrusive. Had some pretty good boss battles and exploring the areas like Fury Green and Volt Forge have been pretty enjoyable experiences. Game looks very good and I'm really enjoying it overall so far.

The desert levels don't look very interesting. Is all you do is ride the bike from one area to next? Seems odd for a Metroid game.

I really appreciated the labyrinth in Metroid Prime 1 and how do you'd go through these long levels and to end up circling back to an area been before, so there wasn't as much backtracking.

There’s the odd shrine, crash site, or area in the desert to do to get items and upgrades but yeah it’s essentially there to traverse from one biome to the next. Also need to collect a bunch of green crystals for a storyline element.

It's basically n64 Ocarina of Time field.

That's actually what I expected. It's very in-offensive.

Could be a touch smaller or have warp points to get between points of interest.

I'm fighting wolves in the ice area.

Yeah, I’m not minding the desert area all that much myself right now. I imagine that once you have it fully explored though a fast travel option from biome to biome would be nice.

In the ice station, continuing to be atmospheric. Like the windy walk ways.

Life sucks righy now. Got hit with a $200 traffic offence because some idiot pulled out of a side road blocking me in.

Shouldn't he be the one to get the fine? Fucking BMW drivers are the worst. Now I find a Christmas present I ordered has potentially been stolen from the front of the address I had it sent to.

Courier just dumped it right in full view of the street and didnt even knock on the door, the car was parked outside too. Couldnt even ring the bell or put the box in the million other safe places he could have?

Fuck Christmas.

     I understand the complaints and I get it. I just don't agree with them. The Ice Belt is by far the best area in the game. When you start, you are trying to figure out what happened in the lab. Theres that feeling of loneliness, isolation, and a feeling of eerieness as you progress. Its quiet, no music with the power off and items that you see just out of reach. Then finally, the power is back on, the music kicks in and I am rolling right with it. Fantastic lighting, fantastic music as you make your way back up, finally able to get those items snd having to discover alternative routes. Its 100 percent Metroid and I love it.

     The desert should only be half as big as it is. However, I'm having fun, discovering at least a dozen items so far. It would have been nice to have thede areas interconnected, but isn't this similar to Prime 3? Anyway, I'm loving this. Not everything works great but its fine, exploration is as important as ever.

     I feel as though Retro is in a damned if you, damned if you don't situation. Get crucified for following the Prime formula too closely? Or get crucified for making too many changes?
