The best Metroid game there is.

User Rating: 10 | Metroid: Zero Mission GBA
Oh man. The memories rush back with this one. I remember playing this for the first time back when I was 9, maybe 10 years old. I had already played both the original Metroid and Metroid Prime before this, but neither of those held my attention like this. The second I started playing this I was hooked until I finished it the very same day. Then I did the same the next day. No other game before this had glued me in so hard

Graphics- Fantastic sprite work commonly seen on the GBA, but never like this. The best looking game on the system.rnrn

Sound- All the classic Metroid music and sound effects are here, creating the void atmosphere that gives the game its unique feel.rnrn

Gameplay- Hard to believe that the best Metroid game is just an updated version of the original. The pacing in this game is flawless. I never want to stop playing it when I pick it up. No other game can compare to it in this regard. The gameplay is everything you'd expect from a Metroid game. Constant upgrades and discovers keep the reward count high. Other Metroid and Castlevania games have this too, but it is never done in such a perfect way.rnrn

Replay Value- As I stated, I played through this game the day I bought it and the next day. You will not want to stop. The biggest complaint with this game for many is that it's too short. I say it's a perfect length, because it always leaves you wanting more, and then you'll play it again. And again.rnrn

Verdict- This is one of the best games ever. Very few games warrant a 10 in my book. Metroid: Zero Mission is one of them. If you enjoy video games, play this game. Simple as that.
