I have so much respect for the developers behind this project. Nearly ten years of on-and-off work poured into a massive love letter for the Metroid franchise, bringing all of its best elements into a the template of a Game Boy game that DESPERATELY needed a revision. There's varied and creative locations, a great interconnected world, tons of fun abilities and puzzles, genuinely excellent pathing / progression / what is it called? Whatever, I just felt really smart as I progressed through the world, and it was AWESOME.
My only problems were the idea of hunting a bazillion Metroids is still really lame and repetitive, and in the version I played, the final boss was busted and I had to kill them only using missiles (which was LAMEEE).
The fact that Nintendo took down this was such a travesty. Seriously, I'm playing through the 2D series and this was SO MUCH more fun than Zero Mission, I'm kind of shocked. I hope Super Metroid is as great as everyone says it is, but until then? This is easily my favorite Metroid game (so far anyway).
