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 perfect primer for the rest of the Metroid series. [Dec 2004, p.148]
-
A great game worthy of the Classic line, but the difficulty will turn off many prospective gamers.
-
69Frankly speaking, it's one of the best titles from the NES years. However, the game has been ported so many times that it hardly stands on its own as a stand-alone experience.
-
60The only reason to spend 20 bills on this one is if you have no interest in zipping through the awesome GBA remake, "Metroid: Zero Mission," or simply want to complete the Classic NES collection. It's not worth the purchase otherwise.
-
52It's easy to see how certain aspects of Metroid's design made it a classic, but 18 years later, the overall package just doesn't measure up to today's action adventure standards.

50For $10 more, you can get the exact same thing in the form of a free bonus [in "Metroid: Zero Mission"] with a top-notch remake of the game that brings its graphics, level design and story up to contemporary standards along with a cool bonus section that serves as a valuable prelude to the subsequent games. Now which one would you rather have? Think hard, now.

If you want Metroid, get "Zero Mission" instead. [Dec 2004, p.100]
-
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.
