Wanted to love it, couldn't get past the pacing.



The Space Pirates, merciless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the safety of the galaxy! Samus Aran must don her awesome array of high-tech weaponry to retrieve the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with a huge variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.

Wanted to love it, couldn't get past the pacing.
Mechanically tight and endlessly replayable. Highly recommend.
Gorgeous, confident, and quietly brilliant.
One of the best I've played this year. Didn't want it to end.
