Despite being the most linear in the series, its my personal favourite

User Rating: 9.5 | Metroid Fusion GBA
I'm a big Metroid fan, and that fandom started with this game, back then at 2004, when i rented it at my local video store. It has a lot of similarities with it predecesors, but some major differences, which i personaly like.

GRAPHICS:
The graphics are very good and polished, and features some of the best looking games of the system. The design of the enemies and bosses are superb too, and Samus herself is well detailed. 5/5

SOUND:
The music in the game is very good and creepy, fitting perfectly with the atmosphere. The sound effects are solid too. Though, the music is kinda unmemorable compared to the others games in the franchise. 4.7/5

GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay is an action-adventure/plataformer, which follows the basic structure of the previous games: run 'n gun, plataform jump, collectin' power-ups and defeating huge bosses. Despite, the game features a major difference from the other games: it is linear. The other games and others that follow are nonliner, where you have to go around and explore, but this one is mission based, so that you always know where to go or what to do. I preffer this way, as sometimes i got lost in Super Metroid or Prime (though i have the original Metroid map n my mind). Whatever. IT IS LOTSA FUN!. 5/5

OVERALL:
This is game every gamer will enjoy, even if you don't know the series, it is a good place to start.
