had a few too many Very Annoying Bosses (and i think the thing that gets to me in metroid games is not having to redo the boss but having to retrace my steps to the boss each time, so that spider thing ages from any save point REALLY got to me) and its opening actually made me appreciate why people complain about handholding in videogames, but all in all as high quality an experience as i've come to expect from metroid!
