Metroid Prime (GC)

Metroid Prime is an action-packed adventure set in the first-person perspective that takes place just after the events in the original Metroid (NES). It has lead character Samus Aran, a bounty hunter by trade, chasing down the evil Space Pirates. Their intention is to use a genetic mutagen called Phazon to create a super army and take over the universe. While the installments in the series before have never been home to deeply involving storylines, Metroid Prime breaks the shell to offer up one of the most intriguing and read-worthy sagas yet. Developed by Texas-based Retro Studios. Metroid Prime brings all of the elements of the acclaimed franchise into a gaping 3D arena.

An updated version exists for the Wii; as part of the Metroid Prime: Trilogy which also contains the sequels Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Audio Issues
Several sounds don´t play appropriately, and sometimes music stops playing, refer.

Crashing
It is extremely rare, but will happen sometimes regardless of settings.

Alcove Room
Sky becomes black when the room "Alcove" is opened, where Space-Jump-Boots are located. The normal sky appears when the room is closed.

Stereo (3D) Mode
Works in stereo mode with the IZ3D-driver. The 32bit dolphin has to be used. The depth effect is nice. Big contrast might lead to ghosting. The convergence must be drastically changed when starting first time in 3D. The performance impact is quite severe.

FPS Drops
Speed drops considerably during many cutscenes and other non-playable moments such as opening doors with the morphball.
