You start the game with a limited arsenal and suit, after the initial tutorial segment aboard the space pirate ship. Similar to titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, there's a big emphasis on finding new upgrades to access new areas, allowing you to progress through the story.

GameplayĪlthough Metroid Prime plays from a first-person perspective, the structure of the game is faithful to other games in the franchise. Stuck on Tallon IV with a damaged suit, Samus must recover her missing gear and solve the mystery behind the lost inhabitants of the planet. On Tallon IV, she begins to discover signs of an extinct alien race and begins to look for clues behind their fate. During a scuffle with the queen of the parasites, Samus' armor becomes damaged, forcing her to flee to the nearby planet. She quickly discovers that the entire crew has been killed by genetically-modified creatures that have escaped their experimental holding. Upon arrival, Samus discovers a seemingly derelict space pirate ship and boards it to check things out. Metroid Prime starts with Samus Aran hurdling through space aboard her ship, headed towards an unidentified distress signal near the planet Tallon IV.
