Metroid HURRAY! - dnd - 05-12-2006
i found the light and dark worlds to be great, the way that you do something in one world it affects the other. it's also good as in dark world it zaps your health so you cannot be out for two long, sometimes its annoyiing if you die because of it.

Yeah, the two worlds were a gimmick big time.
However, those games are so friggin' long. And some of the crap makes you want to rip your hair out. You don't want to know how long my brother and I searched until we found the Grapple Guardian, and worse, how long it took me to beat him... =/ Black Hole Beam didn't work too hot on him.

metroid 1 for GC was awesome. I can't run MP2 though, it needs to be 60hz, and i can only do 50

I didn't like how they replaced the continuous beam combos in ECHOS. If they left some "normal" weapons, then it would have a higher rating in my book. The logbook entries in Echos had some defects to. Even though the little creatures got to move and all
, they had that wierd astarisc (*) type thing. It was really wierd, and you would play with that for a while. . .:SRemember to watch the OMEGA SWEET METROID SUICIDE!

Metroid is probably my favourite games series. I've completed Metroid 2, 3, fusion, zero mission and both primes. never got round to finishing the DS one, didn't like it so much and i could never complete the nes one... too hardcore for me but hey i love the series ^^

I've played all the Metroid games except the DS one... I had absolutely no interest in that one due to the fact that first-person is just not meant for a hand-held. I hate the touch screen enough as is.
On the scale of enjoyment though... I don't really think much can compare to good old Super Metroid for the SNES. I've played through that one several times since I can beat it in a single sitting. XD It got to the point where I tried to discover every corner of every map, get all 100% items, and still get the best ending.
When it comes to said best endings though... the GBA ones got a bit insane... I don't have any interest in trying for those, I'll just get 100% items and be happy. I've beaten both of those as well, they were both quite good.
Then there's the Prime series... the first one was great! It was sufficiently longer than most Metroid games so I didn't beat it in two or three days, and some of the tricks it pulled for hiding items was really neat. I hated the Phazon Mines... and phazon in general though... they're so incredibly frustrating when you've gotta play for nearly an hour before you find a save point.
Metroid Prime 2 was a failure to me though... there wasn't much variety in enemies, the constant hiding in little safe zones in the Dark World really sucked away from the enjoyment, and it was just downright boring. Although I must admit it was extremely amusing watching the foster brother fail to defeat the final boss a good 25 times in a row... while I smuggly had the thing down on my second try. Prine 2 is the only Metroid game I've played that I haven't gotten 100% items on... simply because, I was too bored of it to go back and grab the 6 or so missile upgrades I missed.
The only Metroid game I haven't beaten is the original. If I do beat it, I'll use an emulator simply so I won't have to go somewhere and refill all of my energy every time I turn it back on. That's what annoyed me so much about it.

I've played a small amount of Echoes, I think it was, on the GC. Just a quick multiplayer match, it was okay, but nothing spectacular to me.
Metroid HURRAY! - Little Killer - 24-12-2006
MY GOD! I beat the DS Metroid, but I don't recomend playing solo on it (You get the worst hand cramp ever!). I liked all the mini movies you got though. . .
Metroid HURRAY! - nomercy - 26-12-2006
The DS in general I find has a bad design, especially for games like that. We want playaility, not carpal tunnel syndrome.
Anyhow, I picked up the original GC version from a friend yesterday, and to be honest, I don't like it.

I play my phantasy star universe on my ds. . .
