We Have Come To Terms: The Big-O Returns!
Very rarely does an Anime come out, and over deliver on so many levels. At first glance, Big O seems like just another Giant Robot Anime, with nothing special to offer, but the complete opposite is true. A very complex story, more focus on human action and characterization, wonderful artwork and animation, a film Noir look and feel, and fantastic music and sound make up the "stage" of Big O.
At the end of the first season, we last saw Roger about to face 3 invading Megadeus' with Big-O. Now, the 2nd season starts right where it left off. With some more self realization, and Dorothy by his side, Roger discovers his true purpose lies with Big-O, and will continue to protect the people of Paradigm city from any and all threats.
2nd season feels much like the first, with good stories and delightful artwork and character design. 4 discs, 13 episodes, art galleries, and trailers for other Bandai Anime. Not quite as much bonus features as one might want, but it's a darn good show, and it deserves a 3rd season to continue the story. For the COMPLETE series, you'll also have to order "The Big O" season 1 set, also available from Bandai entertainment, and reasonably priced from this seller. A must for any Anime fan, and not just Giant Robot lovers.

One of the ABSOLUTE best Wii games ever, and one of the best compilations!
1 of 1 found this helpful Metroid Prime Trilogy is a compilation of all three Metroid Prime games. The first two Prime games were originally released for the Gamecube in 2002 and 2004 respectively, and the third was released in 2007 on the Wii. The first 2 games have recieved some graphical, and gameplay improvements for this compilation. Better textures, effects, lighting, and new 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
I played the first 2 Prime games on the Gamecube in their original format, and I can tell you, these new versions are THE versions to play. One of the most noticeable improvements, is that Prime 1 and 2 now use the Wii motion controls from the 3rd Prime game, and that's a good thing. Prime 3 had one of the best 1st person controls for a Wii game. No waggle, or pointless gimmicks, it really puts you in control of Samus Aran, and gives you the feeling of power and technique of the bounty hunter. You'll be walking, jumping, shooting, and rolling into a morph ball with ease. The learning curve is not large. Once you learn the button layout, it's a snap.
Another fun improvement is that all 3 games now have an achivement system, much like a PS3 or a XBOX 360 game has. Their achivement tokens, and you can use them to buy and unlock special bonus features, like picture galleries, music libraries, and some special game unlockables, like the Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion on Prime 1. There are "Friend Tokens" which you get by exchanging friend codes with others who also have Prime Trilogy. This is something I wish wasn't in the game, since not everyone you know will have the game... But I'm sure you could find somebody online who might have it... This is my only complaint.
Now, the packaging for the US version is in a steelbook case, with a transparent plastic sheet the covers it. Also included is a little booklet with a synopsis of the Prime series with some cool artwork and conceptual art. If your looking to get this game, try and get it complete with the artwork, manual, and plastic sheath. Another note for collectors: This compilation was released on August 24th 2009, and 4 months later, Nintendo discontinued producing it for the US market, so it's a rather rare and limited game, and can be expensive if your looking for it brand new, unfortunately. A good used condition could bring in $60 dollars or more, so just look around eBay for some good deals.
All 3 games are masterpieces, and to get them altogether in this on package on a single disc, is one of the best deals, or at least was at the time it was out before it was discontinued. But it's still a great gaming experience, not to be missed by Nintendo fans, and Metroid enthusiasts. This is simply one of the best compilations ever made, hands down, and worth your time and money.

Cast In The Name Of God, Ye Not Guilty...
Very rarely does an Anime come out, and over deliver on so many levels. At first glance, Big O seems like just another Giant Robot Anime, with nothing special to offer, but the complete opposite is true. A very complex story, more focus on human action and characterization, wonderful artwork and animation, a film Noir look and feel, and fantastic music and sound make up the "stage" of Big O.
40 years ago, "The Event" left Paradigm city without memories of anything prior to that time. People have learned to work machinery, and get on with their lives, but no one really knows whats happened, and whats going on. Roger Smith, is Paradigm City's top negotiator. He settles disputes between parties, and acts as a sort of middleman. And if things get too BIG for one man to handle, he calls upon his giant robot: THE BIG O! To save the city and the people who live there, along with his trusty butler Norman Burg, and female Android companion R. Dorothy Wayneright.
The first Season came out in Japan around 1999, and came to Cartoon Network around 2001-2002. A surprise success led to a second season, which is all that she wrote for the poor ol' Big O, which was out 2003-2004. For the COMPLETE series, you'll also have to order "The Big O II" set, also available from Bandai entertainment, and reasonably priced from this seller. Highly recommended, from a true fan who knows, and not just for Giant Robot lovers, but to ALL Anime fans. The story may confuse or baffle some, but that just means they don't have I.Q's high enough to fully enjoy this series.
