I've been waiting for a sequel to Metroid Fusion for 19 years, and this game blew my expectations away! These maps are HUGE, the powerups are sick, the story has a huge twist, and the level design bis some of the best I've ever seen since Super Metroid. Also, I am not used to controling someone in a 2D enviromnent with an analog stick, so believe me when I say Samus controls like a DREAM! The controls are smoother than a baby's bottom. Some people think otherwise due to the indie scene, but this game is well worth $60, and Metroid as a series needs more love, despite being 35 years old.
