About Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime is a first-person shooter, platform, and adventure game released on the Nintendo GameCube on November 17, 2002. Developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo, it is the first entry in the Metroid series to use 3D environments. It is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and 12 by PEGI.
The game puts players in the role of Samus Aran, a bounty hunter exploring the planet Tallon IV. Its themes include action, science fiction, and open-world exploration, and it is built around moving through a large, interconnected area rather than a straight path. The game is designed for a single player.
Set in the Metroid franchise, the game connects to earlier entries in the series while introducing a new 3D perspective on Samus's adventures. Its exploration-focused design and first-person view give it a different feel from the side-scrolling games that came before it.
