"Metroid" was a VERY impressive game when it came out on the NES in 1987. It proved to be SO successful, that Nintendo decided to release the SAME game AGAIN 17 years later, on the Game Boy Advance! Only this time, the graphics, sound, music, controls, challenge, and layout of the game have all been VASTLY improved to handle all 32 bits of the Game Boy Advance's AWESOME portable power! Not only that, the story has been greatly improved to; for whenever Samus completes a section, she updates her story with a nice anime cut-scene. The game is significantly longer than its NES original, so it has a nice new save feature that lets you save ANYWHERE in the game! Another nice new update, is the fact that Samus now has an IN-game map, that keeps track of where Samus has BEEN, and when Samus gains new abilities, she can REACH or access places on the map she couldn't reach before! But the best part about the game, is the fact that the game is extended BEYOND the original "Metroid" game! After fighting through the original "Metroid," missions, Samus finds herself STRIPPED of her Varia Suit, forced to fight in her VERY vulnerable Zero Suit until she can find her most POWERFUL form, the Gravity Suit! This rocking game is Samus' most successful 2-D outing on a portable system, and is highly recommended for fans of the "Metroidvania" style of games! :idea: Enough said, true believers! ;)
