I'm all for a game where the main hero kicks butt and is a girl to boot! I've always been a metriod fangirl and I love the story line!! They should make a movie out of it like Resident Evil!! Anyways, this game is fun but once you get use to the new way of controling Samus. It took me a while and not because I'm a girl you bums out there but because I'm one of those few whom are not accustomed to the 3D real time "feel" of the game. Once you overcome that, the game becomes much more enjoyable and much like all games. It is not too short. If you're a Metroid fan you have got to try.
