Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?

Been thinking about the issues MP4 has with linearity and hand holding. I'm wondering if it's intentional. MP3 came out 18 years ago. Many current gamers weren't even born yet. MP4 could be their first exposure to the series. Maybe Nintendo wanted to simplify it to make it more accessible to newcomers.

As for me, I'm enjoying it in spite of itself. There's hints of a good MP game here, but the designers didn't fully understand the assignment. 7/10. (Though I just finished the 4th biome and the boss fight was AMAZING. Easily one of the best in the entire series. I'd rank it up there with Kraid from Dread.)

This game looks like a 3D version of the 80s arcade game Hippodrome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcsJm_QbyFU&feature=channel). Even some of the characters are similar (dragon, medusa, wizard, etc.). This is not a bad thing, as that game was great. GhostfireScott, was RotG at all inspired by Hippodrome?
