O.K. There's some problems with this game, one of which no one brought up.

THE SOUNDS IS GARBAGE. The music is worse than N64 music, and really out of date. The graphics are so so (let's remember that it should look alot better than 1, but might be on par). Nothing special.

The targeting sucks. It never holds onto a target, and cause there's no right analog stick, looking around is REALLY hard. Also, movement, turning, etc is very sluggish. It's like Samus turns around a snails pace.

Oh, and lets stop with the whole "I landed with all sorts of weapons and gadgets, but something happened to them! I better go get them back..." stuff. It's old. Make NEW gadgets, don't repeat the old ones. A couple new guns and an ammo system is NOT revolutionary.

And if I hear the mumbly crap that passes as speech in this again, I'll freak.

  Not as good as the first, but still a must own game for the Gamecube system.
