A game that sucks you into it and doesn't let go!
Your down on the planet leaving your space ship, you get this feeling of being isolated.You start out exploring and find your way to the morph ball power up, you then say, hey I remember some areas that this might come in handy.You then start to run in to many other power ups,like missles,morph ball bombs and more.More of the map opens up.This strange but super cool music thats coming out of no where is just fantastic.Your fighting past hordes of enemies,you check your map and realize this place your in.....is not on the map....hmmmm, then you remember that this is just a game and that fantastic music,graphics and wonderful alien planet your on , are the very defenition of the word immersive.
Super metroid is for sure, a game that no matter when it came out, it still fun now, and will be fun 100 years in the future.First there is the great 2-d 16-bit graphics.These are some of the best you'll ever see from that era.The sound is even more fantastic than that.This games sound track is by far one of the best video game sound tracks ever made.You will for sure be in awe of the super nintendo's sound chip.From the very start of the game before your even in the game the sound starts it off and keeps it going.
Then theres the game play.You run around inside a huge maze like planet,with many sectors to it.All the while fighting tons of foes and bosses, that lead to power ups that you can use to battle the foes with , but also give you what you need to get into that area you passed before and wondered what was in there.You got a cool map that helps in such a big way and helps keep track of where you have ben.The power ups are awsome and all serve a duel purpose like I said.By the end of the game samus will be a human swiss army knife.
All of this combines into one of the best and most atmospheric video games ever made.This game is by far worth the 800 points you pay for it.This games so good that they could charge 2000 points for it and you would not even feel ripped off.As it stands though the 800 points you buy this game for is one of the best values,if not the best value on the virtual console.
