The original game was a work of genius - with Resident Evil, it has earned the highest IGN review score of any GameCube game during the entire life cycle of the system 9.8 if you're wondering.
Prime successfully revitalized the franchise on home consoles, where it had gone neglected too long. That it succeeded so brilliantly is a remarkable show of skill.
METROID PRIME TRILOGY SERIES
Retro, on the other hand, had to completely re-craft the fundamentals of the Metroid series in order to make them fit in the first-person view. Nintendo revolutionized the platformer with Mario 64, but from a development standpoint, the title at least kept a third-person perspective, which no doubt made the transition more intuitive. Without diluting Nintendo's pioneering work on Super Mario 64 - a title that dragged the publisher's famous plumber kicking and screaming into 3D - Retro's accomplishment with the Prime franchise is every bit as notable, if not more so. All of the acclaimed adventure-heavy gameplay mechanics that defined those titles now define these ones, which come to life by way of a stylish first-person perspective complemented by various visors that the heroine dons.
What you need to know for the purposes of this review is that the Metroid Prime series takes the very essence of the classic 2D titles starring space bounty hunter Samus Aran and transitions it to the third-dimension. I've spent the better part of a decade shamelessly drooling all over these games so I'll just redirect you to our reviews of Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2 for GameCube and Corruption for Wii, where you'll find ridiculously in-depth analyses.
