This was one of the first games I got for my GBA and I've had more fun playing it than most of the others. Like the previous metroids it begins by rendering samus without the use of most of her equipment and therefore unable to access certain areas of the map. As you journey through the space station you uncover a plot that adds new depth to the ongoing story of the metroid series. The gameplay... read more

I wanted a game like Super Metroid, where you could explore around in order to figure out how to advance...Instead, Metroid Fusion is much, much more linear and it almost holds your hand through each area of the game.

"While the mission style gameplay and peculiar level design put a cap on the usual feel of exploration usually associated with Metroid titles, it's not long before the slow and methodical burn of Fusion's story comes screaming out of the darkness and quickly proves that the game is a must-play for anyone that enjoyed the original three game trilogy – especially those who were fond of Metroid II.""

“Released in both America and Japan on the same date, Metroid Prime and Metriod Fusion saw the return of bounty hunter Samus Aran to the world of video gaming, eight years after its previous title, Super Metroid. Prime was created by an America team, Retro Studios, took place inbetween the series' two earliest games chronologically, and took a first-person shooter approach. Fusion, released for the Game Boy Advance, was to be the more traditional title, bringing back the 2D, exploration-based platforming and continuing the story some time after the events of Super Metroid. It became a somewhat controversial game for the places it failed in its emulation of said game's gameplay, but is generally well-liked, and deservedly so.

"Posted on June 24th, 2011:
This was the first Metroid game I played, only two years ago. Having played the other games and done a lot of work reviewing titles in this genre, two things have changed since my first playthrough: A) I only needed a walkthrough guide at one or two instances this time, and B) the inability to explore at my leisure made this game a lot less fun than Super Metroid or Return of Samus (my two favorite titles in the series, in that order). Still, it's good handheld Super M"
