It's been a long time since we've seen a Metroid game. I've gotten all three of the previous games and couldn't help but get this one.
It's very faithfull to the originals. If you've played any of the others, you'll feel right at home with this one.
What's good:
  After the years of not having a Metroid game come out, fans finally have something to sate their addictions, and this game does that quite well.
  The missions are straight forward. You have a computer named Adam that tells you where to go and what to do. You do it, save the game and get back in touch with Adam. No fuss, no muss. It's all laid out what to do next.
  Graphics are incredible. Especially given the size of the screen.
What's Bad:
  While it's nice to have missions that are straight forward, it nags at me that the game goes so far as to restrict your movement to the level that pertains to your particular mission. You're not AS free to move around as in other Metroid games.

What's Neutral:
  They've completely revamped Samus' look. Of course she's recognisable as Samus, but she's radically altered.  I kinda miss the old costume.
  Some of the old items have merged or changed slightly. Example, Hi-Jump is now a combination of Hi-Jump and Spring-Ball. The differant missles, instead of using one or the other, stack the abilities. You don't just have a regular missile, super missile, or ice missile. You have an ice-super-missle. Small differance, but you'd be surprised what some people would fuss over.
Over all, great game, if not long overdue. If you're a Metroid fan, definetely get it.
