Metroid: Zero Mission

philosoma's Metroid: Zero Mission (Game Boy Advance) review

Metroid Zero Mission

Metroid: Zero Mission is a remake of the original game and a very good one at that. All of the original and newer bosses, weapons, levels, and that classic feeling of exploration made their way into this game. For what is it worth (probably $20 at your local Gamespot/EB) this game is amazing!

Now, many people will tell you that the game is short; 3-5 hours the first time through. In fact, I will tell you, "Yeah, the game is short."

But...

If you want to collect all of the extras, you'll find yourself beating Metroid: Zero Mission many times over. Just like other Metroid games, upon completing the game, depending on your item percentage and finishing time, you'll unlock bonuses. And if you're hardcore, you might try to beat the game as fast as you can just to prove how awesome you are (I think the speed demo record is 28:50 by Luke Yagnow).

Nonetheless, players who only want to go through the game twice will have just as much fun; beating the game once unlocks a new difficulty setting as well as the original NES version of Metroid. All things considered, the game is worth buying.

Controls and graphics have been updated to match the likes of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, but unlike the latter game, the developers included a number of "sequence breaks" which had prior been a staple of the franchise's most devoted fans.The plot is fairly spart...

Until I borrowed a copy of Metroid: Zero Mission, the only Metroid game I'd ever played in any great detail was Metroid Prime on the Gamecube.  Even before Prime I knew Metroid well by reputation, though: its use of special items to gain access to new areas previously inaccessible wasn't the first such design, but its platformer accessibility helped make the name Metroid itself synonymous with that idea.  Watching someone do a run-through of Super Metroid I had the urge to see where the franchis...
