At first I thought this game was awesome. And it is, kinda'. The way they incorperated metroids platformers into a pinball game is reall cool. It definitly hase a metroid feal and an actual game experince, rather than just slapping at a ball. The game can get real frusterating becuase balls are few and many artifact are needed to move on, 12 to be exact. You have to play the same levels over and over again to get all 12, and the boss battles are great...at first, then they get old fast. The graphics are very good, and finally show what the DS is capibule of, but this games lack of replay really hurts. Day one its awesome, day2 its great day three I want a new game to play :( not cool! I had to lower my score for this game simply do to the fact that even if you rent it its to short a game. And on another negative note, the sounds sub par and the rumble pack falls far short of what it should be. Like I saide this games really cool...at first. I was obsessed with it the night I got it, now I'm really disapointed. Being a HUGE Metroid fan that I am I keep wanting to find ways to say its a better game and not just something to distract use from the fact the Metroid for the DS has been postponed, AGAIN. Sorry people, but this games not that good in the long run.
***** I've revised this review after more time playing, turns out I suck at pinball, so my views are slighly harsh. The game is very fun, it looks good, and sucks with out the rumble pack (good peice of harware), the sound grows on you and all in all its really fun to just keep playing over and over, even though thats all you can do. It hasen't gotten old like I stated before. I'm loving it, and totaly addicted! The game is hard though, espacialy if you suck at pinball. I say but it, yes I said it. I know you read the first half of this review and I'm still saying buy it. Like I said, after more tim with the game I've changed my view, its flat out fun!!!
