First Impressions On: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
14[Released August 24, 2009 (Trilogy)]
On this episode of First Impressions, Samus is sent out to the planet Aether to look for some missing Galactic Federation Marines that were chasing a Space Pirate ship. Our own ship is damaged during landing by the fierce electrical storms sheathing the planet, which is likely also the reason the Marines fell out of contact. It doesn't take long to discover that many of the G.F.M.C. have already come to an unfortunate end, but it's a bit of a surprise when the dead troopers stand back up and start shooting at us. Samus also comes across some kind of dimensional anomaly that spits us out in a dark place, and we meet our dark doppelgänger before having our upgrades stolen by the creatures lurking around it. Beyond the caves that we landed in, we locate the G.F.M.C. ship and confirm that it was grounded by storm damage as well. A video log shows that the Marines were wiped out by similar creatures to the ones that took our upgrades. Inside a large temple structure we fight more of the little creatures infused with darkness, and then a larger alpha that drops a strange piece of technology on defeat. Afterwards we meet U-Mos of the Luminoth, a sapient species that was inhabiting Aether peacefully until a massive meteor impact somehow split the planet into two different dimensional versions. The shadowy creatures we encountered are a hostile and intelligent race called the Ing, who are trying to absorb all of the planetary energy from Aether to stabilize Dark Aether. Samus must use the mysterious bit of technology, the Luminoth Energy Transfer Module, to suck the life out of Dark Aether and restore it to the original planet.
