I had a feeling this would be a 5/5 for me, but since I hadn't played through the original in 15 years or so I waited until completing the remaster to give the rating. I can safely say this is a 5/5. It does a masterful job of pacing, granting new abilities and guiding you back to old places you've visited so you can get to that door that used to be out of reach. The atmosphere is incredible, great music, love the weapons and gameplay. Ridley and the Metroids are haunting as ever.
The only gripe I had was the controls - it was a pain to press the buttons that shoot a super missile while staying locked onto an enemy. Switching weapons in general took some getting used to as well. But those are minor gripes that wouldn't knock this down a star. Highly recommend it!
This was my first experience with Metroid. I absolutely loved this game from beginning to end. Game play was fun, levels were beautiful to look at, music was excellent. Just an excellent experience all around. It got me to go back and play (most) of the older games and really enjoy the series as a whole. Now we just need the whole trilogy Re-released along with Prime 4…
I know I’m wearing nostalgia-glasses right now, but this was maybe my favorite game of the GameCube era.
It was my introduction to Metroid. From the first zone to last, I was blown away by the depth of detail; the environment, the wildlife, the landscape. I was transported into this world.
As a bonus, it has two of the most memorable final boss battles I’ve ever played.
I will admit when this first came out, I was worried about it not being a traditional 2D platformer. But this game was really fun and I remember feeling like the atmosphere was legit.
I did not play this right when it came out, but played it years later. I really hated it. The gameplay felt clunky and I could not get into it. I grew up playing the 2D Metroid games, and this just felt weird.
This game is an absolute classic for the GCN, and is one of the few FPS styled games that I actually enjoy. The atmosphere is amazing, the graphics still hold up really well today. Here's to hoping the rumors of a Switch port become a reality one day.
