Metroid Prime: United States

It is... clear that Metroid Prime was the creature chosen to guard Tallon IV's Leviathan's core. This raises the question of where the core went. Where the Metroid itself came from can't be stated for certain, either; while Tallon IV was inhabited by the Chozo, who created the Metroids, they abandoned most of their technology. The only other possibility is for a Metroid to have boarded the Leviathan as it was sent off from Phaaze, and the chances of a Metroid being there are incredibly slim.

With no memory restrictions of a cartridge based-system, Yamamoto churns out high-quality, crisp orchestrations for Metroid Prime's score, which is probably best described as hybrid. It's eerie, atmospheric, driving, occasionally rollicking, sometimes bizarre. Most of the tracks are somewhat ambient-based, yet Yamamoto mixes in percussive instruments to prevent the music from ever becoming dull. The highlights of the score are not just some of the new pieces, such as "Chozo Ruins" and "Phendrana Drifts", but remixes of classic themes from the original Metroid (the title theme, Brinstar, item and appearance fanfares) as well as Super Metroid (a jamming, groovy rendition of Ridley's theme, and occasional statements of the moody main theme composed for the Super NES smash hit). The resulting score is so phenomenal and so visceral an experience that it would be glaring to find any fault with it, but alas, Metroid Prime isn't perfect. For all the surrealness and the other great ingredients about this score, it does have its flaws.
