Finished Metroid prime, liked it but there are some flaws to it.
The mines are a huge difficulty spike, you basically have to go through 30 minutes of color coded pirate assholes, multiple metroids, and two mini-bosses before the game will allow you to heal, and save, then you need to backtrack to get two items and if you only get one thinking you will be enough to get you through, it means you have to backtrack a third time, and fighting the Omega pirate makes me cry.
100% this game is bullshit, for one you can miss scans of creatures and this happens way more often than it should, including one-time enemies that look like other enemies you already scanned, for another it's the items. It's not difficult to get the items, but there is one huge flaw. The map does not tell you how many items you collected in an area, or Mark the items you are already got. This makes it unbelievably frustrating to 100%. Because if you forgot a missile tank, or whatever you possibly have to search around all the maps until you find them. Even if you have a guide that tells you where everything is you still need to check all those places to find what you're missing. By the end I was missing two missiles, and I was just done searching.
However despite these flaws I can understand why the game is so well beloved. How to mostly great time.
