    Awesome game for an aging series.

    Super Metroid is one of the most excellent Super Nintendo adventures of my time. I mean the game was executed so well, that I was amazed when I first played it (a few years after the game was released). I can tell you, it shows wonderful potential of gaming to the limit. It's creative, thought provoking, and fun. Shigeru Miyamoto is the Steven Spielberg of video games. While Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear) is the Akira Kurosawa of video games.

    Super Metroid review

    Super Metroid Where do I even begin? Super Metroid is without doubt the best game on the Snes. This was 24 megs, the largest game at that time. It was great music, places that took forever to get to, and more secrets. It starts of as the original Metroid game, but it is so much more. You know what speed runners do after a video game? they play Super Metroid, because it's really exiting. This game can EASILY be considered as the best game ever made. You have to play this game yourself to really understand me. I highly recommend this game. The reason this is 10/10, is because it is so much fun. Like I said before, play the game! I can't explain to you why this is so good!

    The best of Super Nintendo!

    This game is excellent, especially when dealing with two dimensional Super Nintendo gaming.

    You control Samus Aran, who has been on two previous missions. She encountered Metroids in both, and now the last Metroid has been captured by Ridley. You must fight your way through incredible caverns.

    The graphics are stunning for Super Nintendo, possibly some of the best. The music is also excellent (who can forget the chilling voices in the second, final section of Norfair?). The battles are intense. The gameplay is extremely easy to control. The storyline and plot are both deep and interesting. Not only does this game mix great gaming with great music, it also adds in puzzles, freaky enemies, and unique sound effects that all add to the gameplay, allowing you to immerse yourself in the world of planet Zebes.

    Also, for a Super Nintendo game, this one is huge. There's Brinstar, Norfair, Maridia, the Wrecked Ship, even Tourian. You even see the previous location of the Mother Brain in Brinstar as you make your way through the caverns, which helps the consistency of the games alive. Nothing is altered to make the storyline contradict itself.

    The previous games were pretty good, but this one is obviously the best. It is an excellent thriller, action/adventure, puzzle game that will interest anyone.

    Beautifully Done

    Nintendo's Super Metroid is a wonderful game that explores a beautiful planet, extraordinary creatures, and an intense soundtrack. This 16-bit adventure sees Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, go to the planet Zebes to take back the last metroid larva from Ridley and the space pirates. Throughout the game, you discover many energy tanks and weapons to help fight vicious enemies, and collect new suits such as the Varia and Gravity suit. You (playing Samus) fight many bosses, including Ridley, Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon, and finally Mother Brain in Tourian. There are even some friendly creatures that teach you the methods of Shinespark and wall-jumping! If you suffer from epilepsy or intense moments, beware of the final scene though. It had me shaking for minutes. Overall, I think Super Metroid is a great piece of entertainment for the whole family to play. I even got a new personal record today of completing in 5hr 2min!

    The Metroid game to improve all Metroid games!

    I always loved the Metroid series, and Super Metroid is no exception. In fact, it is the one to improve the series big time.

    It is also the first Metroid to have somewhat of an easy-to-understand story as well, conerning Samus Aran, alter egos Ridley and Mother Brain and a young Metroid.

    You also get introduced to new gadgets and weapons in the game, such as the Speed Booster, Super Missle, Power Bombs, X-ray scope, Grappling beam and the Gravity Suit.

    If you find this game anywhere, you are doing a big favor by playing it. Yes, it is that addictive.
