I wish I had paid more attention to the review here rather than some of these comments. I had fond memories of playing Metroid on the NES as a kid so I wasn't sure how it would have dated and if it was worth bothering with in light of the GBA updates and Super Metroid.

I was bitterly dissapointed. This game really is showing it's age now, the gameplay is clunky, level design is tedious and tiresome and I don't have the time to draw my own map! (call me lazy!)

Sorry guys this just gets 2 stars from me. I wish I had saved my points for Super Metroid which will hopefully hit the EU soon.
