Rarely does a game (much less a GBA one) keep the player so constantly surprised. [Mar 2004, p.75]
-
A masterpiece...This is the epitome of Metroid gameplay. The designers carefully mix all the best elements from the other games and layer them on top of the already brilliant level design and concepts of the original Metroid.
-
A great bit of gaming that should be enjoyed instead of rushed so make sure you explore the whole game because it will all be over too soon. I guess all wonderful things come in small packages.
-
The original Metroid is also an unlockable bonus, which provides a great demonstration of how far video games have come in just under two decades.
-
Besides the slight easiness and linearity of the main game, there isn't much to complain about. There is an added bonus to this game in that the game actually has further story after you escape from Zebes, and the gameplay goes in a direction never explored in the Metroid series.
-
Buy--don't rent this game as it is one to keep in your library and show off to future generations.
-
Although Zero Mission's overwhelming quality wins out in the end, the first play reveals a game that's just too slick for its own good, toeing the fine line between a fun, streamlined experience and a hollow, transient one.
