Didn't know ppl could get worse at playing video games... oh wait, they can; next-gen games are typically cake.
But you're right bro - shortest Prime, and most lacklustre, too. It never gripped me once and it's not like I replayed Prime 1/2 lately either. Controls are top notch, but the story sucks (lore is congested as always) and the structure too defined for a Metroid game; same sequence of step-wise problem solving, get new weapon from bounty hunter, open seed, fight big baddie, R&R.
At least the fetch quest at the end wasn't lengthy, but that's a bad thing in my books. Bosses sucked as well apart from maybe two, and yeah, I'm talking veteran/hyper mode too. Good to see Retro are taking a break since they really need to up the ante a bit more. They tease at HDRL, too, WTF?! Can't wait for a Gears of War HD-looking Prime, though, but in say five years or so.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
