Late last week I picked up Metroid: Zero Mission and I dove right into it on the weekend.  I beat it Sunday night, and let me tell you I'm itching for more...

I read the review here on Gamespot, and I have to admit that Greg Kasavin's review is pretty darn accurate (though I think it should have recieved a higher score). 

The game is great quality side-scrolling, but it does seem to end too quickly leaving you wanting more.  And towards the end of the game Samus is pretty powerful, leaving no formidable foes to deal with, and that she was equipped to take on a bigger adventure.  I think they should have thrown in an extra boss battle or two. 

For the record, I thought Metroid: Fusion was a superb game, and this one is on-par if not better.  And as far as remakes go, this game is top-notch even throwing in the original as an unlockable. 

Usually when I get a new game, I try to master it and get the most out of it since I can't afford to be buying games too frequently.  The bad news is that I'm not sure how much longer I can stretch this one since I already beat it so quickly.  Don't get me wrong, I'm going back for the hard mode, but after that....?

Right now it seems like Nintendo is riding the Metroid Prime wave on the Wii and DS.  (Metroid Prime is another superb game by the way!)  I can only hope that Nintendo gets around to releasing more 2D Metroid games in the future.  I'd say we're long overdue for a remake of Super Metroid - that game would be great on the DS.  Or a whole new adventure would be swell too - whatever just sign me up!
