    Take everything you loved about "Metroid" and "Super Metroid" and imagine them magnified, modified, and improved upon. [Dec 2002, p.92]

    One thing that sets Metroid Fusion apart from its predecessors is a clearly stated and well-developed storyline, including, for the first time, occasional monologues by Samus herself.

    Hardcore Metroid fanatics may be turned off by the way the navigation computer holds your hand through most of the game, but all others will find an expertly crafted adventure title.

    While the gameplay is faster, and more responsive than ever before, MF manages to feel even more claustophobic than in the past. That's a good thing. [Feb 2003, p.75]

    Despite my complaints about the sound and music, and my half-hearted desire for a less linear style of play, Metroid Fusion is a great game that should be checked out by anyone who owns a GBA.

    It may be nearly devoid of the exploration aspects that older fans appreciate, but it is still a game that all GBA owners can cherish.

    The first and best Metroid game I have ever played and also one of the only ones I've finished. It is a bit short but it is still a great game.

    In no way is this the best Metroid game, but it is definitely a great one.

It's take on exploration isn't very Metroid of it, but it still feels like it is even it if isn't, and the old backtrack formula comes back near the end of the game. The artificial environments are done really well, and that plus the more on-edge atmosphere that this game goes for, makes great immersion. The bosses become a little to frequent towards the end, but the general boss design in this game, may be the best in the series. This game's story is really well written and feels like Metroid, and it has an awesome difficulty spike that while may not be the only tough game in the series(echoes and SR), it's definitely the most famously difficult one, which is NOT a bad thing(and I'm not good at video games and I'm saying that). it loses points though because of to many bosses near the end and the firing in random directions adventure aspect of the game is done wrong on multiple occasions. I'd give it an 88 if this was a 100 scale, but it's not, so 9/10 it is.… Expand

    Linear, predictable, main enemies far too easy, bosses too hard. Poor show.
