I know this have been probably asked dozens of times before, but I was wondering, how is the best way to play Metroid Prime?

I know this have been probably asked dozens of times before, but I was wondering, how is the best way to play Metroid Prime? I have got all of them, I have played them all on their VCs but I want to give it a try with keyboard and mouse.

Do you guys have any idea or suggestions with it? I have the MP Trilogy here which uses the wiimote, but it's kinda hard to use it, it's like you have two different aims with one mouse only. Is there hacks for this kind of problem? If not, what kind of sensibility is used?

The good news: Metroid has taken to 3D like a Norfair Squeept to lava. (Geek-speak translation:'3D works here.') The bad news: You're really gonna want to play it about three pages from now, and the November release date is suddenly feeling like a lifetime away. 'People expressed quite a bit of concern when they learned that Metroid was going first-person,' says Shigeru Miyamoto, who's overseeing the game's development at Texas-based Retro Studios, 'but the conclusion we came to was that in exploring this very realistic-looking world in outer space, the best perspective is really going to be a first-person one.' We were skeptical at first. But after several hours spent repeatedly tearing into a 10-minute demo on the E3 show floor, ice beaming space pirates and whacking the Parasite Queen boss with charged blasts and missiles, we had Metroid Prime's hooks caught deep in our gullets.

According to Miyamoto, the Prime level we played is the initial stage of the game, but it accounts for less than 10 percent of the finished product. Metroid maniacs will find the opening story familiar: Samus lands on a demolished space station to investigate a distress call and ends up having to flee once the self-destruct sequence is triggered. This demo showcased several of Prime's enemies--a few straggling space pirates, some defensive gun turrets and a mess of slimy spacebugs. And although we lament the lack of a free-look while Samus is in motion (a near-essential part of most first-person games), the camera and controls are otherwise very thoughtfully orchestrated.

Worried about Metroid losing its classic feel in three dimensions? Samus can do anything she could do in 2D and then some. She comes standard with the Metroid basics--running, jumping, and shooting, ball-morph and bomb-dispensing abilities. Bomb-jumping, for instance, returns as a handy gameplay tool for when Samus needs to blast herself into out-of-the-way nooks. She also wields her trusty grappling hook and four main weapon types (the E3 demo, however, only gave us a look at the charge and ice beams).Plus, the game just looks great. 'We thought that taking the effort and spending the time and money to do this graphically would really be a good upgrade for the Metroid franchise and bring it to the forefront again,' says Miyamoto.

But Metroid isn't just about slick looks and alien-snuffing action. 'The prime focus has been and will continue to be on the exploration aspect as we go into the fine-tuning,' Miyamoto promises. Retro has given Samus' spacesuit a set of at least four unique viewing visors (shown at right) to emphasize the exploration aspect. If you've played Super Metroid, you'll remember the X-ray scope that let you see weak points in walls and secret passages. In addition to an updated version of this X-ray add-on and a combat visor that projects all the gal's stats on a heads-up display, Samus picks up a thermal scope and a scanning visor. The thermal wasn't in the game yet at E3, but we used the scanning visor in almost every room of the demo. 'One of the biggest elements in this game is to scan objects to obtain information, Miyamoto says. 'You can obtain information about your enemies as well, by scanning as you play the game.'

Looking up every creature's name and vital stats is as simple as running a quick scan on the life-form itself. Data pods stationed throughout each level also give information on enemies. We even found one that had an analysis of Ridley, one of the main bosses from the original Metroid.

With so much to keep track of in the Metroid world, getting a quick bead on all the important stuff is essential.Fortunately, team Miya-Retro has built in a targeting system that'll lock Samus on to nearby items of interest at the touch of the L button. You can use it to focus on enemies, switches and scan points, launch your grappling hook, or center your view and strafe side-to-side. It's the hottest button on the controller for Prime.

Thanks to its intuitive controls and first-person adventure gameplay, Metroid is shaping up much better than hardcore fans expected. But for those gamers who still aren't sold on 3D, Nintendo will release the 2D-side-scrolling Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance alongside Prime this November.
