An atmospheric masterpiece, with great music and a great story to boot, not only the first 3D Metroid, but the first FPS Metroid, even the graphics can still look beautiful, for what it was, even to today's standards, less could be said for the controls however, but once you get use to them, you'll have no problem. One of, if not the best Metroid games, and I have an extreme personal bias towards Fusion and Dread so that is saying something, I may not be a critic but, man this game is awesome.
