Super Metroid remains my favourite but to me, it's unquestionable that the two are the pinnacle of the franchise. Wii version of Prime especially, for the controls. They're the two Metroid games that I go back to the most often.

One does not simply compare two games that are so different and say one is better than the other. It is a taste thing. If one likes the first person view Prime it is and if one prefers ye olde 2D so is Super the way to go.

The difference between illusion and reality is vague to the one who suffers from the former and questionable for the one suffering form the later.

What if a FPS fanatic - like me - loves Super Metroid a lot more? Smilie

I personally hate FPS games, but I still find Prime more fun than Super.. Smilie They really are different games.. Smilie

I think that would be a fair view because Metroid Prime may be in first person and involve shooting but it is an explorarive, slow paced atmosphere building space adventure game that more often than not, doesn't appeal to fans of shooting games. Smilie

I own all the consoles, ask me anything

Neither of them.

Metroid Prime 3 is better than both of them.
