This game is a unfinished masterpeice. If sony had not pushed for multiplayer, I believe this game couldve been an easy 5. The weapons system is unique and fun, and theres nothing better than grinding annihilation station to get a level 5 Quack'O'Ray. Best game of my childhood.
This game builds on the origional in the best way possible. All the mechanics are better, the guns now upgrade with use, and the worlds are excellent to explore. I can not bring myself to give this 4 stars or higher due to the PTSD I developed while traversing Grelbin. The final boss also fell short to me, I would have enjoyed an epic battle with Qwark after all the setup, but a giant protopet was not the conclusion i had hoped for. Not as good as the first games ending by a long mark.

Excellent game, excellent start to a franchise, and an excellent childhood classic. The final boss was excellent, and the build of Dreks motivation and charachter holds his as one of the best villains in my opinion. The backtracking and multiple paths on each world made it feel full. I only wish bolts werent so hard to come by.
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.

Another timeless classic and masterpiece from the Metroid series. This game takes you on a sightseeing tour of Zebes, and reimagines the world from the NES classic. Metroid games rarely miss, and this is no exception. The only issue I have with this game is that its too short. I want more! Favourite boss: Ridley
