The game is simply amazing. The controls are all the same as the original. As for changes i've noticed, the Scan Visor is improved. When you wear it, there aren't little red or orange squares on things. Anything that can be scanned glows blue, red or green. blue and red being items not scanned(red for logbook or to activate things), and green for things that you have scanned. This makes it very convenient to walk around with the visor on, and just know that things have been scanned and need not be worried about. i've got high jump boots, bombs and missles. The story seems to come together pretty well. the two worlds are out of phase, but some things are half in each. The dark enemies can be kind of a pain. They are definately more difficult than you are used to seeing early in a game. Some graphic items have changed slightly. The Ship is a little more streamlined with hover things underneath instead of jets. Item pickups are slightly different.
and for my only complaint. It's stupid but it's bothering me. I get stuck in doorways. not like stuck where i have to quit out of the game, but just stopped for a second and have to jump to move again. it's happened to me about a half dozen times, and i think i'm about a fifth of the way through the game(judging by the logbook). but i'm not sure how many doors it happened in (it might have all been the same door..).
just a sidenote. i started a new game of MP this summer because i hadn't beaten it yet, and was stuck somewhere and could figure out where to go in my old game. i got to the end, tried to beat Metroid Prime once and died. didn't touch it till yesterday before my brother got home with MP2, i decided it needed to be beaten before i played 2. it took me 2 tries but i did it. I spent most of my first run yestereday looking for patterns, not really trying to do any damage. i found 'em, absolutely cleaned house on the second run. but i only got 98%!!! arggh!
