    An impressively intense handheld game that may garner too many Metroid comparisons for its own good.

    A fantastic game, there's no question about it. But which one should gamers buy? Both games are great, but the GBA version really stands out. The graphics are stronger, and the price is cheaper.

    Don't pass this up just because it 'looks like Metroid' - pick it up because it's as intriguing, and in some ways more so, than Nintendo's excellent franchise.

    Scurge: Hive is a solid action adventure with a slick presentation that should appeal to anyone who enjoys the Metroid style of play.

    It's refreshing to see an original portable game, but Scurge: Hive has some serious problems; mainly, the obnoxious time limit and frustrating enemy fights.

    Una joya oculta de Game Boy Advance y Nintendo DS. SI eres fan a Metroid, este juego te encantará. Es un Metroidvania con perspectivaUna joya oculta de Game Boy Advance y Nintendo DS. SI eres fan a Metroid, este juego te encantará. Es un Metroidvania con perspectiva isométrica de investigación, acción y plataformas. Muy similar a Metroid Fusion en varios aspectos. Tienes un sistema de armas elementales que pueden hacer más o menos daños en dependencia del tipo de enemigo que enfrentas. Estas infectada por un virus que te va subiendo el por ciento de infección y cuando llega a 100 perderás HP gradualmente hasta que te cures en una estación de guardado. Tiene un sistema RPG de subida de nivel para aumentar los HP. Congelas enemigos para utilizarlos de plataformas, ralentizas el tiempo, etc. Batallas épicas contra jefes. En resumen, un juegazo que merece mayor reconocimiento, ya que es bastante desconocido.… Expand

Como un Metroid en perspectiva isómetrica, pero a mi gusto, mejor aun. Graficos muy buenos, control casi perfecto, variedad de escenarios, dificultad media, decorados amplios y puzzles muy gratos de resolver. La unica pega es el jefe final, el cual tiene tres fases y en la tercera dependes totalmente de pura suerte, en lugar de depender de tu habilidad como el resto del juego, lo cual hará que probablemente tengas que reiniciar la partida varias veces hasta conseeguirlo, dejando un sabor agridulce cuando podria haber sido mucho mejor ese final. Aun asi, compra obligada.… Expand

    Isometric arcade adventure that's a transparent rip-off of the Metroid games, but it's actually not bad in its own right.
