Metroid Prime is a favorite among sequence breakers. It had many glitches, mostly good. However, if you have NTSC V1.0, then you'll most likely encounter the random crash glitch*. There were also "secret worlds". They aren't really worlds, but are areas outside of the level.
Besides the glitches, the game was great overall. The beam system was decent along with the graphics. You could also connect Metroid Fusion to the gamecube to unlock secrets in metroid prime. For instance, have samus wear the fusion suit, or play the original NES metroid. The bosses were also cool.
Metroid prime 2 was a slight improvement. It too had its share of glitches and secret worlds. I honestly did not like the beam ammo system. The light world/dark world thing was pretty cool. You would enter portals to go to the light world or the dark world. In the dark world, you would take damage just from the atmosphere. To hide from that, you would have to stay under light crystal fields. This game also had its share of awesome bosses.
Metroid prime 3, the final one in the series (*sob*) was one of the best. However, even this game couldn't hide from glitches and secret worlds. The beam system was different, in which each beam you collected stacked upon the previous ones. You also got to use what's called hyper mode during any time. You have to have at least one energy tank to fuel it. When you're in hyper mode, your attacks are stronger, but after a while in hyper mode, you get "corrupted", and you have to vent all your phazon energy or you'll die. This game had a really good story line, though repetitive. You would go to a planet, find out some way to break the shield covering a phazon seed, then go inside the seed. There, you would fight some boss, getting a new power for your hyper mode, and finally destroy the seed's core. I liked that the GF troupers actually talked (and weren't dead), and that they were actually helpful in the first part of the game.
*In metroid prime 1 V1.0, the game had a random chance of crashing at two points:
The chozo ruins elevator
Pathways to the Furnace.
Also, I did not include Metroid Prime Hunters because it didn't fit in with the others (it was the only non-console metroid prime game)
