Awesome Platfromer.
Story: After successfully eradicating the Metroids in planet SR-388 Samus discoverd a newly hatched Metroid infant that mistook her for its mother, deciding to spare the creature Samus left it under the care of scientists in a space colony. However shortly after, Samus received a distress call from the space colony and learned that Ridley abducted the Metroid and planted a time bomb on the colony. Samus escaped the colony and learned that Ridley was last witnessed on planet Zebes. Samus headed to planet Zebes in order to investigate Ridley’s plot.
Game design: Samus looks better than ever in this 16-bit color and graphic thanks to the SNES. The sprites are well detailed and the worlds look a lot livelier than before.
You will be exploring around Zebes, looking for power-ups and new weapons.
There are various stations placed around the world, save stations, weapon stations and map stations, which can all come in handy.
Expect lots of fun and interesting platforming and shooting elements in the game.
Game play: As Samus you will have a number of abilities and will obtain new abilities along the way such as Morph Ball and missiles. Samus uses her arm blaster to attack and now has the ability to shoot diagonally which makes hitting lower or upper targets much more achievable.
Sound: The music in the game is very gloomy and futuristic, you will enjoy the many great soundtracks and there are even remade soundtracks from the old game. Sound effects have also improved and you will get to hear more different sounds.
Super Metroid is an interesting platformer, the enemies are a bit tougher around and the puzzles can get you lost at some points. The game can be challenging but can also be too challenging to some people, regardless Super Metroid follows the same formula as the last game, the game will features lots of exploring and backtracking, if that turns people off then they should ignore this game, if you are up to the challenge and want to get your brain working as well as blast ugly looking aliens then get this game by all means, because after every effort you can expect great rewards.
