Game Review: Super Metroid

[dorchadas]

Metroid is one of the franchises that makes me wonder what it means to call yourself a "fan" of a series. I mean, I could say I'm a Metroid fan, but I've only played and beaten Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion. I've played Metroid Prime but never beaten the final boss, and I've played Metroid II for maybe 20 minutes. That's a better ratio

Good point on the lack of 'radio'. The first several games were *alone* (Metroid 2 was the first I ever played, btw).

Metroid really does feel like you're a badass going through a horror *scenario*.

I complained about Metroid Prime's text, but now that I think about it, the tone of the text is really what brings down the horror feel of the game. here are the logs. They're all incredibly boring, and reading them turns the space pirates from enigmatic enemies to middle-management incompetent science bros.

"So, we captured a sample of the galaxy's apex predator? Let's science it and see what happens!"

Yea, that doesn't help the mystique.
