hmm.. .very long loading times.. I am on broadband.. but only 384kbps.. and I feel I have to wait too long to see things..
But the video stream for the TV ad is wicked.. haven't seen that before.. (u see it in the second room if you scan the left hand side)
And yeah Dr. Jay.. way better than that Halo 2 site.. bit more accessible .. and also much nicer to look at..

I thought that it was pretty well done. Very involving and a good mimic of what the game is gonna be like. It is what it is. So tell me then. What would you have done?

eh
- JamesEngage0
probably just had a preloader

Finally a site where their style is appropriate . . .
but then they go and ruin the whole user experience with a preloader for EVERYTHING
the navigation is crappy.
why couldn't they use a mouse xpos scroller like every other site?
and it would be 10x more appropriate.If this is supposed to be the game - then i wouldn't play it cuz there's no shooting.

It's good for what it is. Sure there's lot's of other things they could've done. No surprise in the route they took, but still, it makes sense for the client. I imagine 2A must feel a bit pigeonholed with what they do and the hoards of clients that have stepped into 2001 and want that steez.

Pardon my ignorance but I've started to see this alot so what is a "steez".
- mr_snuggles0
steez = style

its a great site, it's metroid, and its a metroid site. though it does take a very long time to load- which is probably nintendo's fault for wanting a broadband site.
not sure what ericj meant- but
it would be nice if it had more of a community metroid fan site type of thing happening- rather then just online promo's for the games.

i like it

I don't think I've ever seen that many preloaders before. amazing...

Site's okay... to me it doesn't do a great job of selling the game, though. Too much clicky clicky, not enough jaw dropping footage of the game itself... Metroid is THE most amazing looking game on the modern consoles... This site doesn't make that apparent (video is a bit too small and overcompressed).
It's a hell of a lot better than the Halo 2 site that was discussed here recently, though...

I am not saying there was anything wrong with the execution of the site, maybbe they had a strict brief to follow or whatever, the point is the remark was sarcastic, coming from someone who started out ripping, but deviated from that to put out some nice stuff...occasionally. I would expect him to be a little more humble considering his beginnings. Oh and if I was in charge of designing that site i would have saw to that Muller handled the photography, had so seasonal typefaces and minimal whimsical taglines.
