ok, I'm now about 4 and a half hours in. I just got the wave beam and I've got 50 missles.
I am just in complete awe of this game. I can't get enough. Though technically inferior to halo's graphics, they are artisticly superior. Retro didn't cut any corners. There are no repeated rooms. Even every save room looks slightly different (and reflective of the environment that it's in) The gameplay is fantastic. It really does give you the metroid warm and fuzzies. I can see why people could complain about the controls but I don't have a problem with them.
My only real complaint with this game (and it's so small it will sound like I'm nit picking) is that the scaning part of the scan visor is so damn small. It should cover the entire screen. I grow tired of having to look around after having switched to the scan visor just to see if there's any of those little orange things to scan.
Well, I tried hard to find something I didn't like and that most certainly is something but it does absolutly nothing to damage this game in the grand picture.
Overall I believe this is the closest any game has come to perfection yet.
