Least favorite beam

Dark Pirate Troopers are much harder. Commandoes are way too easy. The best stratergy is never to stay in one spot for too long, charge up your Power Beam when not shooting, and hit them with either charge beam blasts or Super Missiles, if you have enough to spare. The Light beam is better against Boost Guardian, Pirate Troopers (though missiles work nicely too) and Mutated Emperor Ing. In fact, the Entangler shot is MUCH, much better than the Light Beam against Pirate Commandoes.

And no, Dark Beam does NOT outperform Light Beam. Only when charged up are either or them really useful, but Dark Beam is much too slow and is quite useless against indegineous Dark World characters. I find the Charge Comboes too slow and costly for my taste...except for SUPER MISSILES!

The dark beam, I think was useless except for doors, puzzles, and getting ammo. The

light beam on the other hand, has saved me from dark pirate commandos many a time.

Yknow, the dark beam actually does have one use there--it's the best weapon against those very same dark pirate commandos. >_>; They can be freeze+missile'd.

Without dark beam though, I would die against a pack of Grenchlers. Maybe I just suck at FPS games.

<_< Metroid Prime Echoes is NOT AN FPS! >_>

I'd say the Phazon Beam since you only use it once in the entire game...
Don't ask what happened to my avatar.

It isn't? Well then, what is it? And don't say anything that is obvious.

Well, the camera angle is in the 1st person, and its a shooting game. So, chances are that it would be a First Person Shooter. :D

It's a first person Adventure...

The reason its not a shooter is because there is exploring to do in the game, while, in games like halo, you try to kill all enemies in site... Not trying to find something... Just killing.


Anyways... My least favorite beam would have to be the Spazer from Metroid II: RoS... For a beam that you get kinda late in the game... It wasn't all that powerful... And hardly useful... (Although, it was more useful than the power beam...)
Why Gameboy / Gameboy color games don't work on the DS
 
[size0]Look at the back of a gameboy advance catridge, and look at the back of a gameboy or gameboy color cartidge. On the GBA catrige you should see two "notches" (or whatever you call them) on both sides, that aren't on the GB/GB color catridges. Now, look inside the GBA game slot on the DS, and you should see two parts sticking out, where the "notches" fit into. The GB/GB color games won't fit because they don't have the notches.

That doesn't change the fact that its a game that has the camera in the first person view, and has shooting in it

>_>

True...

But it Is still a First Person Adventure... or as deemed by Nintendo's search results, a "First Person game :O_O:"

Back on topic ...

Light Beam. I dont like the way it looks, it has short range, it requires ammunition, its just stupid. Not saying that the Dark Beam is any better ... its so freakin slow! But then again it just looks so cool.

I cant belive that so many people dont like the Power Beam. That is one of my favorites! Its nice and basic, never runs out, I know that I can kill things with it fast. Well ... some things.

Uhhh, What are you talking about? Let's see here....

1. It's the only beam WITHOUT ammunition(in mp2).

2. It shoots fast, to get the job done quickly.(Annihilator beam shoots just as fast, but uses ammunition)

3. The charged shot is stronger then some beams.(including Wave and Light)

4. The charged up shot just plain looks cool.

5. Super Missile.

6. you can use rapid fire missiles with it on(only in mp1)

7. Its default, which means you never lose it.
