Advantages: Nothing lost and now its in 3D :D :D

Disadvantages: Could maybe considered too easy with the auo-lock function

I love the Snes and Gameboy versions of this game to death it was an exciting prospect when I heard this game was being released in luscious 3D. Ahhhhh yeah.

But can you take such an archetypal game that works so well in 2D and move it into 3D without losing what made it so special? The answer is yes, yes you can. Nothing has been lost, the controls are fantastic the graphics are sublime and the soundtrack is a triumph. I'd suggest having a look for the soundtrack on CD to be honest, its actually that good.

Play through different environments, fight gigantic boss fights. Find new weapons. Enjoy all the stuff that made Metroid such a hit in 2D but now you can see it all in the 3rd dimension.

The only thing I could say negative about this game is the fact that the auto-lock can make it maybe a little bit too easy.

Summary: Buy this game.. just buy it
