Metroid Fusion Critic Reviews

From beginning to end, Metroid Fusion is everything you could want from a Game Boy Advance game... Truly one of the greats. Long live Samus!

A brilliant return to the classic Metroid style of action gaming.

Easily THE Game of 2002 in my book.

But what's most remarkable about the visuals is that no compromises were made. Although everything is big and bright, this hasn't meant the elimination of fine details.

Beautiful in both looks and sound, Metroid Fusion is simply a pleasure to play.

Take everything you loved about "Metroid" and "Super Metroid" and imagine them magnified, modified, and improved upon.

The sound is phenomenal.

More consistently intense than any previous Metroid game.

The key replay value in this game is getting the 5 different endings via getting more items and beating the game in less time. It is somewhat akin to getting the under 2 hours ending in the original Metroid.

Every minute of the adventure is packed with excitement and intrigue as you set out to discover exactly who's behind the mysterious 'accident' that destroyed the station and killed everyone aboard.

One thing that sets Metroid Fusion apart from its predecessors is a clearly stated and well-developed storyline, including, for the first time, occasional monologues by Samus herself.

Fusion is so good that if it weren't for the small, unlit screen, you wouldn't even be able to tell that it is a "portable" game.

The control is perfect...all games should feel this good.

In reality, it will take a good 10 to 12 hours of hard playtime to go from beginning to end of Metroid Fusion, and it's an incredibly satisfying experience all the way through.

The game told me I finished in around 4 hours, but I played for at least ten. With tons of hidden items, and five different endings, this game is sure to keep you occupied. Metroid Fusion is a must own title.

Probably one of the coolest stories ever to grace a platform/adventure game. And not only that, but the story actually is consistent with the games in the past.

Easily the best classic 2D Metroid game yet, and even the best game on the handheld to date.

As expected, the control is perfect. Samus' myriad movies activate with precision and ease - all games should feel this good.

A little short but you'll love every minute of it. Deserves a place alongside "Advance Wars" and "Yoshi's Island."

A fantastic title. If you can forgive the linearity (after all, this is a GBA shooter/platformer) and the slight blips in difficulty, you'll be in for a real treat. You must own this game, after all, it's not very often Samus makes trips out these days.
