A metroid
I’m a big fan of the Metroid series. I like the idea of the metroid creatures, of Samus’ character, of the whole interaction of the games and their stories. I don’t have a lot of criticism for the series in general.
Just last week, across three spare evenings, I played through one of my favorites of the series, Super Metroid. Didn’t take me long to finish, and I always enjoy going back to Zebes and blowing it up one more time. I’ve probably cleared the title a dozen times. Following that, I was trying to decide on something else to play. I have a few games I haven’t finished and realized that Metroid Prime 3 was among them. It’s a little surprising, since when I picked it up, I couldn’t stop playing… and then I did.
Now, part of that was moving, and then not having a TV for a while. Now that I’m playing it again, I’m enjoying it. But to juxtaposition it against Super Metroid has clarified some of the Prime series’ biggest problems to me. (more…)
