    Metriod is Awsome The Best of the Olds

    I'm laughing just thinking about the 'ol Mother Brain.

    Honestly this was one of the best games I ever played as a youngster. My dad bought it for me and my brother @ Kmart when we were kids. It was like 9pm by the time we got home that night, we stayed up til like 2-3am pl... Read Full Review

    Good for its time, but flawed by today's standards.

    I recently broke out the old NES and played a few of the old nostalgic faves, including Metroid. I have to say, although I loved this game at the time, I felt a little let down, and more than a little bit lost. If yo... Read Full Review

    The original Metroid was an innovative game that has spawned into one of the worlds greatest icons.

    By now most people know the story behind Metroid but here it goes again. You play as the bounty hunter, Samus Aaron, who is sent to the planet Zebes to find and destroy the space pirates and their leader... Mother Brain.... Read Full Review

    This game is way too hard and it's worthless

    I'm a big Metroid fan. I like the Gameboy Advance games, the Metroid Prime games, and I haven't played much of Super Metroid but I'm sure it's good. This game would be good except if they made it easier. Think about ... Read Full Review

    Who knew you could do so many things with such few buttons?

    Metroid is a truly great achievement, but some drawbacks keep this game from being that masterpiece that it could have been. For an example, some enemies are smaller than Samus, but she can only fire foreward, so she can... Read Full Review

    Not enought bang for your buck.

    You can ignore the score because Metroid is a great game. But the truth is that if your new to it this is not the place to start. Because you'll be playing an outdated twenty year old game that is hard as you can fricken... Read Full Review

    A classic old school game.

    Metroid. What can I say? One of the oldest games is now portable. I think it's a waste of money, because it's unlockable in Metroid: Zero Mission . There was no point in re-re-releasing it again. Well let's to get to the... Read Full Review
