Many regard (myself included) Super Metroid as one of the greatest games of all-time. When Nintendo announced a whole new adventure for the Gameboy Advance, I licked my chops. I guess the fact that I was waiting so long for the sequel, I overestimated it. It is a great game, but compared to Super Metroid it just doesn't cut it.
You may think that I am talking about this game with a negative tone, and I guess I am a little bit, but this is still a must-play. All the classic Metroid gameplay is here, puzzle-solving, reaching previously forbidden areas, challenging bosses, you name it Fusion's got it. Maybe the fact that it is on a portable system, it just doesn't seem as epic as Super Metroid. I don't know. But don't let it fool you, this game has it all.
The game takes place on a space station, but don't worry classic Metroid environments are still here. There are different areas of the station that have different environments. Your goal is to stop the evil organism SA-X before it is too late. I don't want to give any spoilers, so check this game out. It might not be better, but any game that is second to Super Metroid is still worthy of a high honor.
