Its good... but not as good as the old one. This new metroid to me, seems rushed, and it really is a poor game. Poor graphics? Hell no, the game looks FANTASTIC! But.. how does it play? Not so great! The action is repetitive, and truly un-interesting. The storyling lacked the umpf to keep the action flowing, and infact, really halted it from flowing. In the past Metroid games, you spend them adventuring, searching for hidden items and holes in walls, in this, the walls are insainly easy to find, and the action is the SAME THING over, and over! Perhaps not the same monster... but it is truly un-interesting. There are better games out there, and although the media and other people really digged this game, I just cannot reccomend this, it just really isn't as good as they say! But.. don't take my word for it, borrow this game from a friend, try it out, and then make your own decision. Me? I'm out $50.
