Great game- tight controls, amazing graphics and plays just like Metroid IN ITS PRIME
Great controls, very interesting incorporation of the foreground perspective shooting and the exploration. LOVE the weapons and the great boss battles (its so sweet to take out a spider mech with just a few grenades and pistol shots). The competitive aspect of the game was also a selling point, as it created more incentive to find creative ways to pull off kills. It took me back to the days when I was a wee lad playing Metroid, because the control scheme is very tight and was not over-responsive at all to the thumbsticks.
The only issue was that the storyline was put on hold behind the exploration (my point being that I completely forgot I was looking for someone while I was pulling off those sweet head shots and looking for grenade packs). Overall, the game is just fantastic- and at only 15 dollars, the game is a definite must have.
