First off, This is an extremely great game for those who liked Metroid and wanted to continue the story of the game. The game is a really great game and is what you have come to expect from the Metroid series, a really fun game. The concept of the game revolves around the idea that, Samus, goes to the a planet to investigate some kind of investation. This turns out to be Metroids a class of Aliens she encountered in the original game and you must go through and wipe them out from the planet before they have the ability to spread. The graphics of the game are relatively good for the time the game premiered coming out in the early 90's but the game is still a fun game despite the matter of graphics. Playability is pretty simple as it is a simple control scheme that anyone can quickly get used to and the entertainment factor keeps you playing for a while when you are in the car on a road trip. As far as replay value it is pretty cut and dry. The game progresses through and begs you to beat it, so eventually you probably will. Anyway, I enjoyed this game a great deal [or I wouldn't have given it five stars] and I recommend that you try to pick it up so you could have a little slice of Metroid joy.
