Samus Aran's return (in color this time)is to be appreciated. This is one of the finest titles to honor the excellent SNES machine. This expansive, challenging, and beautifully detailed masterpiece is outstanding. The replay value is all there, as I have completed Metroid III at least five times- and still have yet to break 85% and four hours of play. But that's all good, I'll return again and again to this gem. Great weapon design (mix and match arm cannon), new goodies (x-ray scope, grappling beam), and huge bosses make a vast cornucopia of compliments unable to do justice to this brilliant title.
