Metroid Prime (game): Difference between revisions

The controls, despite the first-person point of view, do not use the dual-analog control scheme found on other shooters. Instead the player controls Samus fully with the left stick and is able to aim manually by pressing the R button and then moving the camera with the left stick, though in this form, the player cannot move. To make combat possible, Retro Studios implemented a targeting system similar to the one found in the Legend of Zelda series. The player presses the L button to target opponents, and can move around the enemy by pressing the jump button and moving the left stick to the wanted direction. The player is able to switch visors and beams by using the C-stick and the D-pad.
