  • Summary: The original Metroid game makes its way to the Game Boy Advance as part of the Classic NES Series.

    Provides an excellent source of platforming at a very moderate price tag. There can’t be enough good said about this title as it serves as a remake of one of the early titles that changed the face of gaming forever.

    A great game worthy of the Classic line, but the difficulty will turn off many prospective gamers.

    You would be better off spending a few extra bucks and getting the "Zero Mission" game if you don't already have it. Otherwise I would be very hesitant to spend the twenty bucks on this old clunker.

    If you missed out on the NES release of this, be sure to check this one out. Multiple weapons and massive levels make this a great game to play in the car.… Expand

    This game is awesome, but the problem is that it has already been remade on the GBA (Metroid: Zero Mission). On top of that, this game is unlockable in Zero Mission. Also, you can play this on the GameCube by connecting Metroid Prime to the GBA. So why would you want to spend $20 on this when you could a)buy Metroid Prime for $20 and connect it to Metroid Fusion or b)buy Metroid Zero Mission for $30.… Expand
