Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - blog tasks Create a new blogpost called 'Metroid Prime 2: Echoes case study' and complete the following in-depth tasks. Language Analyse the  game cover  for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game?

Escapism - the game is si-fi, a totally different world- the audience can divert from reality. Multiplayer - playing with other people. 3) Does the cover sexualise the character of Samus Aran?
