Super Metroid

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.

One of the greatest games of all time, especially of the sci-fi genre. Absolutely everything about this game was well done from the amazing graphics, to the tight controls, to the even more haunting music in the background. From the start to the finish, the game never lets up as far as atmosphere and action. Creature sounds are top-notch and will actually make you jump in some places. Metroid has always been fun because at the start you are real weak and then by the end of the game, you feel like you could take on any kind of bounty hunter prey in the universe. This game is still in my library and i still play from time to time. Absolutely recommended.

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!

This fantastic Snes gem is widely and very justifiably regarded as one of the very best early generation console games of all time and I for one still love it, it surpassed its predecessor in every possible way and even today the non-linear exploration which really above everything else is the central aspect, as well as the atmospheric focus on isolation makes it just as spine-tingling and fun a game as it ever was. You actually feel like you're on your own on an alien planet as you encounter the endless hordes of subterranean alien monsters to blast into oblivion. I love how daunting they made the boss battles, none more so than big 'ol Kraid! He might've seemed like an impossible scaly mountain coming right at you, but he was a pushover compared to some of the other guys! The battle against Ridley is a heck of a lot easier if you have the Plasma Beam, and that nifty trick you can do with the Grappling Beam to win an easy victory against Draygon was such an awesome touch! The world feels so huge, and all the different music scores set up the moods in all the different areas so perfectly. How satisfying it is just to progress and discover the many upgrades, both necessary and hidden. It's a game that rewards your curiosity, and you can just search throughout every nook and cranny of Zebes until the cows come home, and I guarantee that there'll still be something you've missed somewhere... In this one part, behind a room with a missile upgrade, there's a secret room, and then another secret room behind that one! You have to retread a lot but it never gets monotonous, and it never feels unfairly difficult to get through, or that it's going on for too long. Some of it requires extreme patience, with the sand in the watery realm of Maridia being an especially aggravating pain-in-the-ass to slog through, and good luck mastering that goddamn Wall Jump!!! Both engrossing as well as hauntingly beautiful to look at and listen to, even today it doesn't feel all that dated, which is pretty impressive when you realise it's over twenty years old now. It's a certified classic that's very worthy of its reputation, so charge that beam, customise that suit, and roll your way to an explosive victory you'll remember forever! "The galaxy...is at peace."

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.
