-'''''Metroid Prime''''' is an action-packed adventure set in the first-person perspective that takes place just after the events in the original [[Metroid]] ([[Nintendo Entertainment System|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.
+'''''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.
+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 explore a large, open ended world as Samus Aran. Along the way, she 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.
 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]].
