Two years after the original Metroid Prime hit the shelves, Retro Studios and Nintendo have put out a sequel, entitled Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. In the gallant Nintendo tradition of not reinventing the wheel, Echoes sticks pretty close to the gameplay laid down in the first Metroid Prime, which itself stuck pretty close to the tried-and-true adventure gameplay of the old-school Metroid titles. In addition to the stock find-all-of-the-items-that-unlock-differently-colored-doors mechanic, though, Retro has dug even deeper into the Nintendo songbook to unveil a game world with overlapping dark and light worlds; predictably enough, good old Samus will find herself having to flip between these worlds in an attempt to right wrongs and fight evil.

Luckily for her, she won't be alone in this fight! With GameSpot's guide to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, you'll find an item checklist that'll help you obtain both of the game's secret supplementary endings, an item rundown letting you know what does what, and, of course, a complete walk-through for the game's lengthy singleplayer game, including boss tips!
