Reviews around fun (5.00 of 5)

  • this game is great fun. if you have a Gamecube, metroid prime, and a GBA/GC cable for god's sake BUY THIS GAME
  • However the boss fights are completely different, though more simplistic to figure out and less fun to defeat as a result (a problem the original Metroid has as well, might I add).
  • Overall, buy this if you like Metroid its really fun and gots some fun challenges with it.
  • Its great Metroid fun with an entirely new cast of enemies, a new mission, blatant levels of the game, but still with Metroid secrets.
  • You also can link it to Metroid Prime also to get features such as to play the old Metroid which is kinda lame though cause you have to beat both games first, but don't worry, it isn't that fun.

  • IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BRILLIANCE OF NINTENDO, PLAY METROID"DON¡¯T MISS IT.
  • Some of the bosses are unbelievably hard and you'll end up having to stop yourself from smashing your Nintendo against the wall
  • Although I had the original Game Boy and Super Nintendo, I had never played Metroid before

Reviews around music (4.00 of 5)

  • The music in the game is also noteworthy, all the tracks fit their intended purpose from the creepy to the heroic.
  • Music is good, though not the masterpiece that Super Metroid's soundtrack was.
  • The music is really creepy and appropriate in the icy and water portions, and melodic and very Metroid-like in the navigation room areas.
  • The music is also very good, and provides some very good effects during tense gameplay moments
  • The music is also a significant deviation from the rest of the series, being cold, mechanical, and unmemorable (exception: AQA underwater

Reviews around fusion (3.95 of 5)

  • Metroid Fusion is one of the better action titles for the GBA, but it pales in comparison to other games in the Metroid series
  • All in all though, Metroid Fusion will be pure bliss for any Metroid fan out there
  • Whether your a Metroid fanatic or just wondering what the series is all about, Metroid Fusion is an essential play.
  • Metroid Fusion is a memorable entry in the series, and easily recommended.

Reviews around title (3.86 of 5)

  • IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BRILLIANCE OF NINTENDO, PLAY METROID"DON¡¯T MISS IT.
  • Now just finishing Metroid Fusion for the first time (you will get goosebump all over when you hear that classic Metroid title music, SERIOUSLY)
  • If you're a fan of the series, or just interested in games in general, I would highly recommend this title.
  • Still, it's a worthy addition to the Metroid franchise, and it's worth the time and money if you enjoyed similar 2D titles.
  • I haven't been a Metroid fan in the past, but am now because of this amazing title.

Reviews around action (3.37 of 5)

  • There's always parts of the Metroid series that kind of confused me as to why I like it
  • Some of these are a little obscure for my taste -- I prefer nonstop action when playing a side-scroller -- but it doesn't overuse the frustration factor
  • Plus, you get all the cool action of Metroid games, ultra-suspenseful moments (will your evil clone notice you in the corner?) and a riveting storyline, you simply must get this game

Reviews around ability (3.09 of 5)

  • She pulls through after receiving a vaccine but not before she had parts of her suit removed because of the infestation, thereby losing her trademark abilities
  • It seems that the X virus can copy anything it touches, and since it infected Samus with all her best abilities it decided to copy her.
  • I am thoroughly confused as to how this game rates so highly
  • What's also good about this game is that Nintendo shakes things up a bit: Samus is now the one that's hunted and normal abilities like the Screw Attack, Varia Suit and etc. are now attained when you beat the bosses that inhabit each
  • The gameplay never gets repetitive, or as soon as it does, Samus gains a new ability.

  • Most of the most frantic and exciting moments of this game come from encounters with Samus's clone
  • IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BRILLIANCE OF NINTENDO, PLAY METROID"DON¡¯T MISS IT.

  • The game has some very frustrating and sometimes unforgiving moments, but pushing through it and finding that next step is very rewarding

Reviews around energy tank (1.44 of 5)

  • Just like the traditional Metroid games you have your laser cannon, bombs, missiles, and the energy tank
  • Samus is back and every bit as incredible as she was before
  • To give a compliment, WOW are the missiles and energy tanks hidden extremely well in this game!
  • The fact that many of Metroid Fusion's missile expansions and energy tanks are cleverly hidden more than any other Metroid game is probably the games biggest strength.

  • More story-extensive than anything (that is, until Corruption), Samus was infected by a strange parasite known as X while on SR 388
  • But now, Samus got the horrible X Parasite into her suit which prevents her from exiting it
  • Samus is back and every bit as incredible as she was before

Reviews around guy (1.00 of 5)

  • I enjoyed this game very much, It certainly made sitting in a charter bus full of noisy and loud people much more manageable because I could shoot bad guys on my tiny screen
  • This is a great game for anyone who loves shooting bad guys and dungeon crawling.
  • There's a whole host of "bad guys," tons of bosses, and weapons gallore that just get better and better
