    Just ignore this poorly planed port.

    By Adult_Kafei | Review Date: Jun 30, 2006 | GBA

    Metroid is , without a doubt, one of the greatest games on the NES. At first, it makes sense that Nintendo would want to re-release it with it's Classic NES Series. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten that this ga... Read Full Review

    killer absolutly killer

    By flavort | Review Date: Jun 20, 2006 | NES

    Of course this is a old school game. I think a good amount of nintendo games had lots of little secrets in them. Metroid on the other hand set a standard for all games to come. The fact that you play as a girl is just a ... Read Full Review

    One of the best games ever made. I still play it to this day. Free-roaming adventure long before GTA.

    By badass_gamer | Review Date: Mar 14, 2006 | NES

    What can I say about this game? This is what an adventure game should be. Everyone who played this game played it differently. After all you could travel almost anywhere, whenever you wanted to. And when you obtained new... Read Full Review
