Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, known as Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes in Japan, is a first-person, action-adventure video game developed by Retro Studios (former headquarters pictured) and published by Nintendo for the GameCube video game console. It is the seventh published game in the Metroid series, a direct sequel to Metroid Prime, and the first game in the series with a multiplayer feature. Echoes was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2004, and in Japan the following year. The story follows bounty hunter Samus Aran as she explores Aether, a planet that is infested with the Ing, an evil race from an alternate dimension. Samus must travel to three temples to ensure the destruction of the Ing, while battling Space Pirates and her mysterious doppelgänger called Dark Samus. Retro decided to make the game different from its predecessor by adding more focus on storyline and including new gameplay elements. Echoes' single player mode and graphics were praised by critics, while its steep difficulty level and multiplayer components were met less positively. (Full article...)
