Gameplay

Metroid Prime can best be described as a 1st person 3D adventure game. Prime takes the honor of being the first 3D Metroid game to be released. With a strong emphasis on exploration rather than combat, the game adopts a unique control scheme (see Metroid Prime Controls) to allow you use of Samus' massive arsenal (see Metroid Prime Items), featuring items like the grappling beam, power bombs and ice beam.

The world of Tallon IV is separated into a number of regions:

• Tallon overworld
• Chozo Ruins
• Phendrana drifts
• Magmoor Caverns
• Phazon Mines
• Artifact Temple
• Impact Crater
