The game has received a lot of critical acclaim for its very realistic graphics, varied and often innovative gameplay, and its soundtrack. Many Metroid fans believe that Prime was a great transition into 3-D for the series; however, some question the choice on having it made as a first-person game. Also, many fans of more conventional first-person shooter games have questioned the unusual control scheme. For most players, however, Metroid Prime is an instant classic.

1 Storyline

• The Space Pirates never captured Metroid Prime.
• The meteor that brought the radioactive substance Phazon did not come to Tallon IV twenty of someone's years before the game starts; it came at an indeterminable time before the game began.
• The Chozo Lore entries paint a much different picture of the relationship between Samus and the Tallon IV Chozo.

The versions released in Japan, Europe, and the North American Player's Choice versions have also had a number of gameplay modifications implemented to prevent players from using certain tricks to play the game out of sequence. Certain aspects of difficulty have also been increased.

1.1 Phazon

An important part of the Metroid Prime storyline is a highly mutagenic radioactive substance of unknown origin known as Phazon. It seems to exist naturally as a solid and sometimes as a liquid.

Phazon was spread throughout Tallon IV when a meteorite containing it crashed into the planet’s surface. The Phazon immediately began negatively influencing the indigenous flora and fauna — it either killed them or severely mutated them. A group of Chozo colonists tried to seal away the Phazon source with a mystic seal called the Cipher, which was an enormous temple linked to twelve artifacts. A long time after the Chozo contained the source of the Phazon, the Space Pirates picked up on an unknown and powerful energy signature. After their first defeat on Zebes at the hands of bounty hunter Samus Aran, they were eager to find a powerful energy source to rebuild their army, and so tracked the energy signature back to Tallon IV. The Space Pirates tried to use the substance, now dubbed Phazon, to mutate various species for use as biological weapons, including some of their own people.

In the North American version of the game, the Space Pirates also discovered a powerful creature that produced Phazon. They named it Metroid Prime. While Metroid Prime exists in the European version of the game, the Space Pirates never actually discovered it.
