So... It's near instant fire? Seems a bit OP tome...

In addition, the Charge Beam can be fired in short bursts unlike the 2-D versions. This means that Samus is not completely vulnerable when charging. The damage with the minor shots is weaker than the full charge but stronger than the standard shots, and travel slightly faster than fully-charged shots.

Super Missile is the Charge Combo of the Power Beam, and is a Single Shot Charge Combo. Since both Prime and Echoes include the Power Beam, both games also include the Super Missile (the only Charge Combo to appear in both Prime games). The Super Missile is special, as it is the oldest of the Charge Combos, being a feature of the Metroid series since Super Metroid (though in that and other games it was a separate Missile). It is also, in the Prime games, a required item and the only required Charge Combo.

Wavebuster is the Charge Combo of the Wave Beam, and is a Sustained Fire Charge Combo. The Wavebuster is found in Metroid Prime, in the Chozo Ruins area. It fires a stream of violet electricity, paralyzing enemies. It resembles the Grapple Voltage of Corruption.

Ice Spreader is the Charge Combo of the Ice Beam, and is a Single Shot Charge Combo. Found in the Magmoor Caverns area of Metroid Prime, the Ice Spreader will coat whatever it touches in a thick layer of ice, and can be used to freeze multiple targets.

Flamethrower is the Charge Combo of the Plasma Beam, and is a Sustained Fire Charge Combo. It is found on the first level of Phazon Mines in the original Metroid Prime, and when fired will release a very short-ranged stream of fire, dealing immense damage to all it touches. The Flamethrower is useful against large groups of nearby enemies, as it can be swept quickly over them, burning them to ashes.

Darkburst is found in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Charge Combo of the Dark Beam. It is a Single Shot Charge Combo, as are all the Charge Combos in Echoes. The Darkburst is a very slow-moving projectile, but on impact will create a black hole, sucking in all nearby enemies to a "dark dimension" unrelated to Dark Aether. The Darkburst needs 5 missiles and 30 dark beam ammo in order to be fired.

Sunburst is the Charge Combo of the Light Beam. Like its complement the Darkburst, this weapon fires a large, slow moving projectile: a sphere of intensely bright, rainbow-tinted light. It will deal immense damage to creatures from Dark Aether. The Sunburst requires 5 missiles and 30 light beam ammo to fire. If the cluster is close to a target it will fire rays of intense heat at an opponent that is within in reach.

Sonic Boom, the Single Shot Charge Combo of the Annihilator Beam, is the final Charge Combo of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. This weapon, unlike the Darkburst and Sunburst, fires an extremely fast projectile, so fast; in fact, that it will instantly appear next to the target. The Sonic Boom tears a rift in space, severely damaging any nearby enemies. This Charge Combo puts the heaviest drain on Samus' resources, consuming 5 missiles, 30 light beam ammo, and 30 dark beam ammo in one blast.

I liked the first person part too. It helped immerse you into the game, especially when you could see rain droplets on your visor and watch as they dripped off.

One part that I thought was really cool was in one of the Primes where those computer enemies would attack you with computer viruses and lag your visor and movement.

Let's not forget exploring.
