Great post. Sums it up perfectly.
The Metroid Prime series is unlike any other first-person game out there. It has just as much in common with Zelda games than it does with Halo or Halflife (maybe more). The majority of the game is solving puzzles and finding your way around a strange planet as opposing to just having horde after horde of aliens sent for you to slaughter. Co-op multiplayer really doesn't make any sense for an exploration based game.
The turning around thing isn't really a huge deal since you never really get blindsided by enemies (and if you do it's usually by weak, easily disposed of enemies).
To those that are just picking up the game:
- Put the control settings on advanced right off the bat
- Avoid using a guide and enjoy the game for what it is. Pretty much every one of the puzzles seems trivial after you figure it out.
