'''''Metroid Prime''''' is a video game developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It is the first 3D game in the Metroid series, the fifth main installment, and the first of the three part ''Metroid Prime'' storyline. | '''''Metroid Prime''''' is a video game developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

Despite taking place in the first person view, ''Metroid Prime'' is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat. As with all Metroid games, players solve puzzles, perform platform jumps, and fight enemies in a large, open ended world. Along the way, the player finds power ups that improve her abilities, and clues about the mystery of the planet. The story is told organically; the story is revealed through scan logs, allowing the player to dive into the story or ignore it as they see fit. | Despite taking place in the first person view, ''Metroid Prime'' is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat.

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-631|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.7 GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6950|result=Absolutely fluid FPS even with 2.5x native on HLE audio, however, massive audio glitches occur (cracking, noise and 90% of sounds are wrong), LLE audio fixes this but yields a comparatively pathetic performance, even on 1x native with settings trimmed on extreme performance very annoying lags occur in fights with more than 2 opponents. LLE on a discrete thread seems to improve this a bit, but not satisfyingly. High FPS drops in large outside areas when water drops come onto the visor. UPDATE: I have recently found the solution: Enabling "Accurate VBeam emulation" causes a slight lag and FPS-drop in the menu and just after entering new areas, but increases overall performance substantially and makes it well playable.|tester=}} | {{testing/entry|revision=3.0-631|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.7 GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6950|result=Absolutely fluid FPS even with 2.5x native on HLE audio, however, massive audio glitches occur (cracking, noise and 90% of sounds are wrong), LLE audio fixes this but yields a comparatively pathetic performance, even on 1x native with settings trimmed on extreme performance very annoying lags occur in fights with more than 2 opponents.

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-7873|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i7-3930K @ 4.2 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780|result=Game has terrible slowdown issues on OpenGL, but runs nearly perfectly on Direct3D, save a tiny bit of slowdown (about 57FPS) on the whole map view, and sometimes when landing in water. Stutter issue due to shader generation still exists, but it's not too bad. Used DSP HLE with the only issue being that some rooms in phendrana drifts have a slightly messed up echo effect, but last I checked this is a known issue. No sound issues otherwise; even the background music worked fine. Played through the entire game to 100% completion without a single issue otherwise. 1920x1080 fullscreen, auto rescaling, anti-aliasing, no texture filtering (I never use it as it often breaks things), and all the optimized defaults, including EFB to texture, which now works fine for the thermal and x-ray visors.|tester=Techjar}} | {{testing/entry|revision=4.0-7873|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i7-3930K @ 4.2 GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780|result=Game has terrible slowdown issues on OpenGL, but runs nearly perfectly on Direct3D, save a tiny bit of slowdown (about 57FPS) on the whole map view, and sometimes when landing in water.
