Fun exploration-based mechanics
An interesting story (once it ramps up).
A solid
Action packed addition to the Metroid franchise
While it isn't always successful
The attempt to delve into Samus' persona was also welcome.
Excellent combat
Boss fights are varied and challenging
Controls are both unique and responsive
Enviroments are good looking
Searching for hidden items is rewarding.
Simple but exciting combat
New and old abilities come together flawlessly
The look
Sound
And feel of the game is fresh
Considerably longer than most Metroid games at roughly 10 hours
Appropriately difficult with lots of hidden powerups to find
A fun and innovative game with impressive graphics engaging story and a good combination of nostalgic nods and modern game play.
The editors didn't like
First-person mode feels woefully forced and unnecessary
Resulting in uneven gameplay.
Deviates from established franchise formula in several key areas to negative effect
Short main campaign mode
Story is heavyhanded.
Unskippable cutscenes lead to uneven pacing
Lowresolution textures.
Unskippable cutscenes of an overlymelodramatic story
Some loading issues
Questionable choice of control scheme
Forced gameplay segments interrupt the pace.
Long cut scenes and mid-game controller flipping that will greatly frustrate some gamers.
