Great gaming experience
I decided playing it because I like the main character. Samus is one of my favorite female game characters and I wanted to experience the gameplay because of that, but the game grows on you.
For those accustomed games like Halo that you have a great amount of save points, MP might become a frustating experience. If you have to stop for any reason in the middle of it, you simply lose everything anf that is it.
On the other hand, it gives you the chance to play it even better when repeating a certain stage.
The game is very intelligent and with all its comes and goes throughout the maps, I have some sort of RPG feeling (no, it is not RPG and I am not comparing it to an RPG). You are really part of the story and it is very exciting.
Even if you hadn't played any other game of the series, add this must have item to your NCG collection. You won't regret it!
