So many weapons and items, so many stats, so many areas to explore, so many great songs, so many atmospheric touches, so many beautiful sprites, so MUCH is jam-packed into this wonderful game! Symphony of the Night is absolutely amazing. I especially love the minor RPG elements, like stats and status effects, which are totally unnecessary but add a cool new layer to the experience anyway. Best of all though, they make backtracking more enjoyable because each and every enemy you kill adds to your total EXP count.
Re: this versus Super Metroid (another 10/10 game for me), I think the level design is a little better in that game because it's more compact, whereas this game has a few too many long hallways. This one does let you warp around the map a bit which helps some at least. I prefer the combat and overall feel of this a little bit, though that game plays awesomely too. Play em both!
