You run and shoot a bunch of creatures in environments very similar to previous Metroid games. Burning alive? "I have a varia suit that can protect me from the heat but Adam would think less of me if I use it without his permission." No Samus, Adam would think less of you when he sees that you have third degree burns all over your face and he can see the skull from you cheeks! Really, it's the game's excuse to make sure you aren't fully equipped from the previous game and have an easy experience but the explanation is just maddening! The gameplay is good though. So what does Adam want from Samus? TO TURN OFF EVERY WEAPON AND GADGET SHE RECEIVED FROM SUPER METROID AND USE THEM WHEN HE SAYS SO! That's right, you can't use anything unless Adam says so.
Even though Samus appears to be a maverick, she decides to listen to Adam and join his team even though she was never really assigned in the first place.
He's some former leader of yours that you run into that has a small squad examining the same ship Samus is investigating. Go screw that Adam guy and have a kid! That brings me to this Adam character. Samus got attached to a flying jelly mold and somehow she's distraught and can't get over it. I get what's going on here! So what is Samus talking about? How she misses a dead baby Metroid. And Samus keeps talking, and talking, and talking, and talking, you get my drift? There would be this tense scene of Samus examining dead bodies of scientists and suddenly she's narrating over it. So when that part's over it takes us to the story of the game.
That's right, to sell this game, the developers felt the need to continue right after the best of the series, Super Metroid (although, I'm more partial to Metroid Prime myself). The game starts out with a beautifully rendered cinema of the ending of Super Metroid, which this game takes place after. In fact, most of the time I just want games with stories to get on with it so I can actually play the friggin' game! This game is no exception. Not that it was really what I play Metroid games for, you know, some kind of story. It looked like we would learn more about our female protagonist, Samus Aran, and her whole bounty hunter gig. What made me excited about this new Metroid was the inclusion of an involving story. I didn't play Metroid: Fusion which I hear is basically what this game is,or that Zero Mission or the Metroid Prime sequels. Let me start by saying that I am a fan of the Metroid series, starting with the very first Metroid on the NES, but I haven't played them all.
