First things first, yeah Samus is weird in this game. Yeah the story is a little weird. Yeah Adam is weird. I honestly don’t really care that much.

This was the first Metroid game I owned. It’s not really Metroidvania feeling as it’s mostly just straight corridors and very linear, but as a dumb kid I appreciated that. The combat feels GOOD. Dodging and blasting a charge shot is amazing and the BRUTAL takedowns are phenomenal.

The Wii remote controls are a weird choice and the game could’ve benefitted from the nunchuck.

This game also gave us the greatest Metroid character, Anthony Higgs; and for that we thank it.
