Antithetical to Super Metroid's hands-off approach, but not entirely for the worse. It works for what Fusion was going for. I'll admit that being told where to go didn't leave me with a good first impression but those feelings quickly subsided as I got further into the game. Fusion's level design is every bit as clever as its predecessor's, and the tense atmosphere is still here. It even beats out Super in the boss department.
I don't think its as good as Super, but it's still pretty solid. :)
