Only have the three stars simply cause constantly running from the EMMI robots gets really annoying and frustrating. I know this is a "Get Good" type a game and I found myself more irritated then having fun but besides that the game is nice to look at and the aiming capability for 2D was a nice addition. I don't think the parry/counter was relevant to put into a Metroid game and making it into something it isn't but whatever. All in all I don't feel it's a bad game but not a great game like some make it out to be.
