Absolutely fantastic jump to 3D, Metroid Prime perfectly, and arguably better, encapsulates the feelings of exploring an alien planet as a lone badass. Framing the game as if you are playing as Samus from first person, having HUD elements on your helmet visor and effects such as fog and liquid covering it is such a genius design decision, making you ever more immersed in the world. If the last third of this game wasn't a fetch quest and/or there was a better shortcut system this might have been one of the greatest games ever made.
