Anyone else find the Metroid Prime map hard to read?

I found the map hard to read partly because of the freedom you were given to play around with it, I couldn't work out where I was. It's the reason I eBayed the game.

Just who is that in your avatar? It's been bothering me for ages...

It's me

Damn, I can't pull that off any more after meeting quite a lot of you

I don?t know Mr B, there?s a slight resemblance there?

heh, only kidding. (U know u love me *poke* )

I personally thought the Map was a work of genius. At first it seemed a little daunting, of course, yet as soon as the world started to open up viewing and making decisions with the map was all part of the experience. Sometimes I would plan my routes using it and there would have been no way I would have discovered all the upgrades and secrete areas without examining the 3D Map: which in itself was a joy imo...

A lot of hard and focused work must have been put into designing and creating it, and in my eyes it pays off pretty well. Cant really see how using it was could caused problems tbh

I hope in Prime 2 a similar map design is used... but what modifications could be made to improve it I honestly couldn?t begin to say

I have started playing this game again recently (quit first after motion sickness).
I love the map too, looking to find new places and secrets without having to run to the actual place to look. 8)
