Superb entry, while not exactly as good as Super Metroid, it's still awesome in its own right.
Great art design, fun enemies, nice small additions to the traditional weapon set plus a melee attack which is designed for counter attacks, nice music (which unfortunately is not as good as Super Metroid, but does the job).
This is an amazing Metroidvania and a really cool ending to the Metroid/X story arc (for now at least).
A few downsides are: many regions of the game look a bit too similar, weapon sound effects are less cartoony but also less recognizable, the super bomb is relatively pointless, and the level music is forgettable (it's perfectly competent and functional, but nowhere as memorable as the level themes in Super Metroid, which I can still vividly remember as they are super distinct).
