    Hmm Metroid reviews ... I want to find something to complain and shout about, grumbling about how people misunderstand the franchise but, like with the Edge review I can’t. A good, fair review. Doesn’t follow the hype or miss the point.

    The only part I disagree with is about the computer logs and narrative development. I read the manual first (seriously I did, I’m not weird. Stop looking at me like that!) and thought that the logs built up a sense of progression and fed information quite well ... but then the narrative isn’t really of much importance, it’s about the actual game experience. Metroid games always have been. Perhaps with the exception of Fusion which I actually consider a less faithful continuation of the series than Prime.

    I think that more cutscenes, voice-overs and focus on a central narrative would have taken away from the experience, Metroid is like System Shock 2 in that way ... it’s supposed to be a solitary lonely journey of “you” against “them”. But then the logs aren’t perfect and combined with the frequent scanning mechanism it does become slightly tedious.

    I could rant more ... I won’t :P

    I was amazed at the polish prevalent throughout this game when I played it. Gradually though, I realised the Metroid gameplay is not quite my cup of tea. A truly great update for Metroid fans, but there's too much pointless moving thrugh the same areas again and again.

    In my view the game could really have done with a transport system to shorten journeys - some of the later epic traversing to get from one area to another becomes tiresome.

    "The only part I disagree with is about the computer logs and narrative development." from the comment below.
    and
    I love game soundtracks. i collect them. i completely disagree on the comment about how metroid's soundtrack is "weak" when compared to a game that uses an orchestra. the soundtrack in the game captures and enhances the mood perfectly. phendrana is one of the best examples. just because it wasn't produced by an orchestra means nothing. i would but the soundtrack of this game beside the metal gear solid soundtrack and the halo soundtrack.
