    Metroid Fusion

    • Unlike the sound and graphics, the gameplay of Metroid Fusion is sadly disappointing
    • The game has solid gameplay mechanics, simple but interesting story, and addictive elements to it--such as the addition of new powerups to Samus's suit as you progress through the game
    • The gameplay has also been improved.
    • A compelling storyline coupled with innovative graphics and gameplay make for a fantastic adventure.
    • Also, gameplay is a little weird
    • The gameplay never gets repetitive, or as soon as it does, Samus gains a new ability.
    • The music is also very good, and provides some very good effects during tense gameplay moments
    • The graphics are easy on the eye (I rather like them myself), game operation is smooth and predictable, and the gameplay can only be rated superior
    • The gameplay is pretty solid.
    • The gameplay and story allow this game not to be boring in the slightest if you are able to completely immerse yourself in it, and you understand the progress of the story in its entirety, otherwise for those just jumping into the Metroid Story at this point, they might get bored and confused (much like the Paranormal Activity movies)
    • Parents, if your child has good gameplay skills, this game is a great game.
    • This game refined the gameplay of SM, but not that much
    • It did away with the monotony of "Metroid II" and enhanced the gameplay and environment of the original "Metroid".
    • Sound/Music: As always, the music has that otherworldly quality to them where it's quite haunting and eerily beautiful in its orchestration as the music is meant to help support the gameplay rather than be its own catchy tune a la Final Fantasy music
    • The Gameplay is just like the SNES version which is a good thing, but it's short lifespan means you won't be playing this game anymore after this year.
    • The graphics are great, the music's good, it's not monotonous, the gameplay is really good, story as well, cool escenarios, awesome boss fights, and the difficulty is just right
    • The classic Samus gameplay, hidden secrets, and fact that the game is not TOTALLY linear, is why this game is still a fun game, and didn't turn into a total disaster
    • The gameplay is fun and easy to get used to
    • Gameplay wise the game plays great
    • There's always parts of the Metroid series that kind of confused me as to why I like it
    • I am thoroughly confused as to how this game rates so highly
    • Samus is back and every bit as incredible as she was before
    • Coming right after Super Metroid and Metroid Other M, Fusion is the perfect culmination of both games, combining the exploration-based gameplay of Super Metroid with the brisk pacing and narrative focus of Metroid Other
    • There's always parts of the Metroid series that kind of confused me as to why I like it
    • I am thoroughly confused as to how this game rates so highly
    • Samus is back and every bit as incredible as she was before
