This entry into the Metroid Series is a solid end.
There is not a lot I can say about the game that the Gamespot review doesn't say, because for about 95% of the review, they get it spot on. I briefly want to talk about what mostly everyone says about Gamespot's review of Wii games.
Now, I've been a loyal Gamespot user since 2003, back in High School. I believed, and still believe, that if you want a review done right, you absolutely have to turn to Gamespot. But, recently, I've seen some games done a bit of injustice, plainly and simply because its "the same thing we've always seen."
Twilight Princess, which was a triumph according to other sites, was given points off for doing what it does best--deliver a solid Zelda experience. But because it didn't "bring much new to the franchise." Why should that ever matter? Will Gamespot give Gears of War 2 an 8 because it uses the same mechanics, or concepts. No, I doubt it.
Look, I'm only going to say this about the review.
No game should be rated lower for doing the things it does best. That's why I'm moving my score from 8.5 to 9.0
Because a five point drop shouldn't happen because of that.
