Favorite Metroid Game

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-25-2007, 01:47 PM

I'm leaving the Smash Bros. games off this list because they don't count, and Prime 3 because its not out yet (though knowing what I know....if it were on this list, I'd probably vote for it). Now...

What's your favorite Metroid? I put a ton of thought into this. Super Metroid is going to get my vote by a VERY slim margin, but I have to give a special nod and shout out to the almighty Metroid Fusion because of story. With Ridley, Kraid, and Mother Brain dead, and what was left of the last Metroid in DNA sample containers, Intelligent Systems focused on Samus herself. The story between her and Adam was freaking amazing, and they kept you guessing until the end. Samus narrated the entire story, and being hunted throughout the colony was awesome. I also think it had the best "countdown escape sequences" of the series bar none. It was just an amazing game, and an amazing story in every way.

That said, Super Metroid is better by a slim margin. No game sets the tone of isolation better, and the style, music, and atmosphere have no equal. Still, with the things I've seen of the Metroid Prime 3 story....daaaaaaamn.
