* CompleteMonster: [[EldritchAbomination Gorea]], the BigBad of this GaidenGame, is a [[StarfishAliens formless, ancient alien]] that crashed on Alinos within the Alimbic Cluster millennia ago. In the form of a perverse imitation of the Alimbics themselves, Gorea sets about massacring the entire race to drain their life energy and empower itself, scouring entire planets of life, turning the Alimbics' own weaponry against them, and devastating the Cluster. Fully intending on continuing its rampage to the rest of the galaxy for the sole sake of power, Gorea's actions wipe out the Alimbics before it's finally [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away in the Oubliette]]. Craving freedom, Gorea initiates the entire plot of the game by tempting bounty hunters into the ruins of the Alimbic Cluster towards its seal -- and, upon breaking out, drains the power out of all the other bounty hunters before turning its attention to [[Characters/MetroidSamusAran Samus Aran]].

* ContestedSequel: To this day, fans are divided on whether it's a bold attempt to diversify and expand the ''Metroid'' franchise or a cheap FollowTheLeader cash-in that plays fast and loose with the series name.

* ContestedSequel: To this day, fans are divided on whether it's a bold attempt to diversify and expand the ''Metroid'' franchise or a cheap FollowTheLeader cash-in that plays fast and loose with the series name. [[VindicatedByHistory Time has been kinder to it]] after the release of the far more divisive ''Federation Force'', but the debate remains. The consensus is that the game obviously isn't as good as the console trilogy, but how good of a game it is in its own right remains debatable.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** This game has a function called the Rival Radar, which allows you to add other players to your Rivals list if you both have the function on and your DS in Sleep Mode. So, basically [[VideoGame/StreetPassMiiPlaza StreetPass]] [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 5 years in advance]].
** The game's default right-handed control scheme (move with the D-pad, aim with the touchscreen, and shoot with the L button) is similar to that of ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'', which is part of Metroid's sister series.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus on the singeplayer campaign is that it's a decent and admirable attempt at translating the ''Metroid Prime'' gameplay to the handheld Nintendo DS, but it is held back by its linear and repetitive structure. It's not bad by any means (as long as the player can adapt to the control scheme) and has even been VindicatedByHistory after [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM more]] [[VideoGame/MetroidPrimeFederationForce controversial]] games were released, but it is very by-the-numbers and doesn't stand out when compared to the rest of the series.
