There is not much I can say about this game except that it nears perfection. The atmosphere is perfection, the boss fights are perfection, the backtracking is perfection. This game builds a world that is an absolute joy to explore. It defined the Metroid storyline, and it did it well. The only gripe I can give is that I wish it were easier to switch between beams when in the heat of battle. It really pains me to not give this game a 5 star rating. It comes damn close. Favourite boss: Thardus
Difficulty: 5/5
Controls: 4/5

Replayability: 5/5
Boss Fights: 5/5
