Great weapon variety and level design, aside from it feeling a bit too long at times. Beat on max difficulty and wasn't too hard besides the last level. Game has auto aim on by default which messes with headshots as it forces you to hit center mass from further away, would have saved me lots of ammo and given me more armour if I had noticed earlier.

After playing this I think I prefer 2D Metroids, but this entry definitely has a lot of cool things going for it. All of the weapons except for maybe the slow moving ice gun are fun to use, all of the scanners are very cool, the soundtrack is amazing, and all the little details like seeing your face when your helmet fogs, or seeing your bones when using an x-ray scanner and being hit are nice. Scanning every little thing to get higher rating seems way too tedious to me, but if you want a lot of Metroid lore this is a great game for that.
Pretty fun, wish there was a bit more squad actions you could do but not disappointed in the amount for an early 2000s game. Squad members often got stuck in hallways on the ship but at least load points resets them. Obviously great soundtrack since it's Star Wars. The visor wiping off blood rain etc is a nice touch.

A lot of it is quite obscure being how faithful it is to the original and could be a bit frustrating at times, but besides for maybe the bad feeling melee combat (guns feel amazing though) I had a really enjoyable time. Loved all the little attention to detail, especially what happens after berserk stims wear off. Soundtrack is kind of non existent but I could tell this definitely went more for atmosphere rather than the original. I highly recommend having a notepad and pencil nearby while playing, and maybe don't play on "beat the game in under 10 hours" for your first ever time playing the game.. Can't wait for System Shock 2 enhanced.
