Right In Front of Your Eyes

There have been at least two times when I've been playing Metroid Prime 2: Echoes now that I get stuck in an area, search around for the next place to go for 30 minutes, go online to GameFAQs.com only to realize that I just couldn't see the door or the button I need to press.

Now, it's not that I'm not looking or that I'm asking for spotlights or arrows, but when you play a dark game like Metroid, and I mean physically dark, that the only way to play the game is to turn the brightness way up on your television.

I have to admit that going around a set of identical rooms and not expecting a corridor to be in the same place all the time is kind of moronic, but if I don't see it I don't see it. Metroid, Prime at least, isn't a game about super hidden corridors like the NES and SNES Metroids were.

I'm on the last of the three temples now and approaching the Spider Ball ability. Woo hoo!!
