This game is so cool. I still don't think I have any major complaints so I kept the 5 star rating. The constant threat of the SA-X which repeatedly shows up in your path as you add to your arsenal of upgrades, the excellent presentation and music, the tight controls, everything is too good. I don't mind the more linear pathing and theres still a lot of secrets and hidden items to find. A major complaint about this game I see is the computers guidance being too overbearing - yet I do really like this as it makes Samus eventual breaking free from it's orders due to her strength returning and revelations about it's identity all the more satisfying. Best 2D Metroid.
