I liked the game in the end. I don't know if I'd say it was a good game, but I was still able to enjoy it. It's a game I really want a sequel to just because there is so much broken shit that needs to be addressed.
The story and everything that relates to it is unbelievable. They completely dive bomb Samus' character within seconds and it keeps plummeting throughout the game. It takes a shit on everything Metroid from the past, oh I dunno, two decades? all things considered, Metroid Pinball did a better job. Ok, even take Metroid out of it and it is still awful; it reminds me of bad PS2 games like EoE.
The combat is the boring and easy and dull and the controls are fucked. One key thing about the potential sequel is to take it away from the Wii and its nonsense controls. Put on the 3DS, have aiming in third person or just work like MGS2, have a dodge button, have more buttons that do things, have the player doing something during combat, etc. There are some choices that don't make sense. When the controller is horizontal, 1 is shoot, and when it is vertical, A is shoot. 1 doesn't do anything when you hold it vertically, so why can't they let you still use that as the fire button and 2 as missiles? To do something as simple has hold a charge between view changes is you fumbling with the controller. And why can't you move in first person? the d-pad doesn't do anything in that mode. Sometimes you just need to change your position by a bit and the game requires you to turn the controller back to the horizontal positndoinapsndfpiasjdfpoi bottom line: is it's a hassle. oh, and I didn't realize the game ended when it did because it was so...dull. everything about this game is dull.
ok, I can't remember what I liked about this game anymore. All I remember is a list of frustrating shit. I guess I liked the parts the resembled Metroid games, just made baby easy, like highlighting all the items on your map and things like that. This game is like the Phantom Menace of Metroid. What the hell happened? Zero Mission was so awesome! how did Metroid games become shoddy quake clones, pinball games, and this? where did the people who made Zero Mission, or even Fusion, go? where did the people who made good handheld Zelda games go?
