Below are my current projects: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (as well as some other pages). It will be written in short sentences first, then I'm going to write the plot as I play Echoes so that the information can be as accurate as possible and quotes that only appear once can be referenced.

After the Federation loses contact with the marines of GFMC Task Force Herakles near Aether, they hire Samus Aran to investigate it and provide assistance. Her ship is damaged by a storm as she enters Aether's atmosphere, preventing her from leaving until its repairs are complete. After landfall, she finds her path obstructed so she takes an alternate route through a Splinter hive. There, she finds the marines dead.

The multiplayer included in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' received negative reception. Kristan Reed of EuroGamer said that single player mechanics were not meant to be translated into multiplayer and that players would tire of it easily. Most reviewers said that the multiplayer was average and unnecessary. Some reviewers did say that they enjoyed the multiplayer however.

Several reviewers were critical of the some issues that come with locking onto enemies, but said that it was manageable. Other complaints came from the difficulty increasing in some parts due to a lack of Save Stations.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes takes place on the planets Aether, and its dark twin, Dark Aether. Samus is capable of traveling through the two via Portals. The Space Pirates and Metroids were less of a focus in Echoes, with the primary antagonists of Echoes are the Ing.[6]Reword?

Many aspects of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes are similar to Metroid Prime As with the first Metroid Prime, Samus is already in possession of multiple upgrades in the beginning of the game. This equipment is quickly stolen however.

Fusion[edit | edit source]

Some time after the events on the Bottle Ship, Samus was assigned with the protection of a research team on SR388.[1] There, she encountered a Hornoad and fired upon it revealing a creature she had not yet encountered,[2] later learned to be a parasitic organism known as the X.[3] X breed in Samus, she loses consciousness and ship drifts into asteroid belt,[4] an escape pod is jettisoned from the ship and recovered.[5]
