Prime-time; Metroid, that is

I finally dusted off Metroid Prime today.  I promised myself that before the end of this vacation I would give it one more shot, because back when I bought the game I played it for a whole 41 minutes before getting bored.  So, I was craving an adventure game and Metroid seemed to fit the bill.

I can't believe I didn't like this game when I first played it!  Next thing I knew, four hours had passed and I wanted to play more (I took a break for dinner.)  It's funny how experience changes you.  I don't know, I guess I thought it was too hard when I first played it.  I love it now, although my one complaint is that it's hard to see my way around because the game is so dark.  I'm not sure if that's a problem with my TV or if the game was made that way; I'm thinking that it's a combination of both.
