its one of THE best games ever
PROS
-great graphics-technically and artistically,little touches like Samus becoming bluer as she gets more corrupted,her eyes in reflections,X-ray visor,the ship,the bosses and the last level,incredible,hypermode
-plays great-i just wish you could have made a faster 180* turn,but it doesn't detract from the experience,context sensitive actions are great
-great sound-the music fits all the levels,it just sounds natural,as well as other sounds like switching visors,shooting,scanning,your ship,everything sound like you imagine it should,characters speak
-story-wont go into many details,but wow,some things i can tell you are:everything is corrupted,a major boss goes way back in metroid history,watch the 100% ending,especially the exact last 3 seconds,metroids are back,dark samus isn't working alone,and read some of the lore you find,lol
-presentation-menu's are slick,hypermode looks good,a "ally" guides you occasionally through missions,and yea,when you invade the pirate homeworld.....just go play already!
CONS
-the game ends
-finding energy cells,didn't bother me,but it did break the flow of the game
-screw attack needs some getting used to,especially in skytown
-the game ends
-couple characters that could have been more fleshed out,die,and you'll feel guilty,that all ill say
now go play!!
