Classic Metroid is back and about as good as it's ever been. I only have two real complaints:

First, the scale and production value feel a bit lacking for a $60 game. But that's more of a problem with Nintendo than with the game itself.

Second, the game didn't give me the same sense of isolation or (drum roll) dread that some other entries in the series have. Dread's invincible EMMI robots aren't as menacing as Fusion's SA-X, and the environments lack Prime's feeling of lonely expanse.
