Nah, I'm liking it so far, y'know, when I'm not getting my ass handed to me. The cut scenes are a bit cheesy and un-necessary, but once you get past those, it's still Metroid. The only thing that bugs me about the controls, and it's not the 3rd to 1st person switch, it's that Samus runs full tilt EVERYWHERE! You'd think a girl with that much energy would have a bit more fire in her voice. But I'm getting used to it. I'd rather Samus run too fast than too slow.

The game has it's flaws, but they're nowhere near as bad as the internet is blowing them up to be.
You're a F**KING IDIOT, me from over a year ago! Yeah, I remember this post, it was when I was an hour or so into the game. And it was shortly after when it pretty much just started crashing down on me... the stiff controls... the REALLY bad dialouge... the BABY... the forced first person pixel hunts, one of which required you to find green blood on GREEN GRASS... the BABY... the QTE scenes that you didn't know were QTE scenes until AFTER you were dead... the BABY... and the perspective switch became a serious problem when I started getting swarmed with enemies that required a missile shot to take down.

I won't say the gameplay is bad... I can get why people might enjoy it. But the story and writing was BAD. REALLY BAD. I ended up dying about ten times in a row against the same minor enemy, so I checked out a story summary online to see if it was worth struggling through the rest of the game. It wasn't worth it. But maybe it's just me. And maybe I'm just pissed because I had blown $50 on this game when I could've spent it on a game I would've enjoyed far more, like Kirby's Epic Yarn or DKC Returns.

Lady Jaye, I say you probably paid just about what the game is worth. I do hope you enjoy it more than I did though.
