Überraschend spaßig. Sehr machbar mit den Layout, auch wenn ich manchmal ne Map ansehen musste

Un metroid a dir poco EPICO, non freca

Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. Pretty cool.

This is the true backrooms experience


I like it better than the first game for what that's worth.

Another game from my childhood, it feels so nice going back to. I really love how Samus feels and I think it shows you can do a lot with very little. But unfortunately it is more punishing then it needs to be when it comes to navigating and collecting resources. I could use Another Metroid 2 Remake instead….

It's ok. It's really old, but it was able to bring a lot of new stuff to the Metroid series.

Never got far in this. Always got lost and the design made it hard for me on the Game Boy when I was a kid. But I always appreciated the design and feel of the levels, it’s a sci-fi atmosphere. The soundtrack, the sounds, everything about this was cool. And was my first experience with Metroid in general.

How did people beat this without a guide wtf

Not the best Metroid but still a good game

Honestly had a lot more fun with this one than I was expecting. Basically having the entire game be a hunt even with a tracker at the bottom was a neat idea. However, the game has a lot of jank and those old metroidvania flaws. Some of the later forms of Metroids are just annoying and the final boss is a joke once you figure out a secret to it. Really excited for when I get to the remake and see how they (hopefully) fixed my issues with the original.
Final score: 5/10

It's about what I expected, unplayable without following a map but I have a weird soft spot for these old cryptic games so I had fun playing this.

Great step up from the original, not much more though

Sûrement le pire jeu de la licence.

Esta bien, pero AM2R existe...

i used a guide. better than the remake

a remake of this game on the 3ds would help it a lot!

Definently underrated. I came into this game as a fairly experienced Metroid player and didn't really have any problems with navigation, but an in-game map still would have been appreciated. The secrets all feel great to find. The fights with later stages of the Metroids get a little annoying, but I love the way that less creatures are able to survive the closer you get to the Metroid nest, and just love the games themes overall. The game didn't feel too unforgiving either, plenty of save states, I didn't even worry about having to resort to save scumming (played on 3ds). The game hasn't aged perfectly, but I still had a really good time with this one.

Pretty solid by early GameBoy standards, though it takes a while to really hook the player and not having a map can make the pacing a real drag.

The remake is much better. Metroid without a map and on a monochrome screen is hell to navigate. The screen crunch to accommodate the GameBoy makes it even worse.

ok so the only improvement is that samus controls SLIGHTLY better here.

the rest feels like a step back sadly. atsmisphere not as strong as the first one (only so much the music can do. its all GREEN). if i didnt have a guide i would have been so lost lol, the idea of exploring to find metroids to kill is fine, but it doesnt really work when theres such a lack of variance in areas.

the small moment with the baby metroid at the end was really neat tho

Great game for an original Gameboy game and a huge improvement from the first game. The controls are a lot better, the map is designed much better, and the enemy placement also isn't insane like the first game. There are still some problems, however. The boss fights are a little repetitive and annoying, there's not much variety in scenery due to the limitations of the Gameboy's color palette, and having no health/missile refills in the last area with the omega metroids is pretty stupid. But otherwise, I very much enjoyed it. The way you kill the final boss is pretty cool as well and I love the ending with the cute baby metroid.


Big improvement on the first game. The power-ups were so much more fun and actually felt like getting stronger. The quest to destroy all the Metroids was a fun way to change the structure of the game. I used maps online for most of my playtime which obviously changes the way I played the game, but I felt it necessary to improve my experience. The refill points for pickups were so much better than having to grind for health and missiles. Wasn't expecting to enjoy the game as much as I did.

Ele ainda é como anterior,explore um mapa mas divide em fases,digamos assim, como não temos um mapa ajuda muito a exploração. Não ficamos perabulamos por aí sem rumo

Didn't play the remakes yet, but even as is it's good. Whatever could be considered as a flaw in the NEStroid was fixed there. Yes, it still doesn't have a map, but if you think where you are going you'll be fine, the world is not that big and I have never found myself lost or stuck. Recommend the GBC palette over SGB, looks nicer to me.

Rather dated game. its remakes are far superior.
