no, no, no, you got it wrong, as much as I have my issues with TP the game oozes polish everywhere, no doubt about it, but the comparison makes little sense because the Prime games also have excessive amounts of polish, it does piss me off that Nintendo is having this attitude with Retro, like if they didn't know how to make excesive details in their games.
Nintendo: "Do it like TP!"
Retro " err, we are already pretty much there..."
So I gave in only to get this hideous thing, is this really the first line of the damn article!?
"The opening scene of Metroid Prime 3 is about the Halo-est thing ever."
I want to cry T_T, I hope is just the writer being an idiot.
