Little to no story was acceptable when I played the origanal Metriod on NES... but times have changed, story and presentation have to drive gameplay (for me at least). That's why I couldn't get attached to it.
Great gameplay just isn't enough anymore, especially in a game with no human vs human competition, and in a very unrealistic environment.
But that's enough of my mindless metriod bashing... let's not change the subject of the thread at hand
