Buyer Reviews :
aaah, the good old 8-bit euphoria.... I miss the time when games were so simply entertaining. This game was my favorite amongst them next to Castlevania, and still is. I actually know the the source code to this game (it was required for a programming class, but it was the most fun i ever had doing a school project).
The Metroid series is very unqie in a lot of ways. It was one of the first games to played on entirely one level. However, that one level is so enormous, that it won't even cross your mind. So don't let the one level thing fool you - Metroid games are long and take several hours to beat as long as you don't cheat. The game is so filled with secret passages and little programming glitches that it'll keep you busy for weeks even after you've completed the main game! One fun thing to do is to look around for the Secret Worlds, which are actually programming glitches that duplicate the area you're already in and warp it.
One time my brother's friend tried to play the game, gloating about how how simple and cheesy it was. He boasted that he could beat it in less than an hour simply because it was 8-bit. Oh, how ignorant he proved to be when he got downwinded in less than a minute. The game is DAMN HARD, even today.
I recommend this to everyone - period. Anybody can find something to enjoy from this masterpiece. I particularly recommend that younger kids who didn't have the privilege of growing up with 8-bit as my generation did take a chance with it. Pretty graphics aren't everything - in fact, they're virtually nothing. This is gaming at its best!
