Cgrundertow Metroid - Zero mission for game boy advance video game review

I am the kind of person who doesn’t get too excited about remakes. I think that just because a game has dated graphics doesn’t mean that the game is dated. The gameplay is the most important, and if it works then there is no need to remake the game. Metroid is one of my favorite games, so when I heard that there was going to be a remake of the original, I was not entirely on board with the idea. That was until I played the game and saw how radically different the game is. As stated, Metroid Zero Mission is a remake of the original Metroid for the NES. You play as the intergalactic bounty hunter, Samus Aran. You head to the Planet Zebes, to track down and stop the Space Pirates from experimenting on Metroids. To do this you will have to explore the Planet, find power-ups, and fight the Space Pirates. The story is the same as the original, and for the most part so is the gameplay. The Planet is a large open maze that you are released into without any real direction as to where you are supposed to go. It is up to you to explore the Planet. As you find more power-ups, more of the Planet becomes available. This is the tried and true Metroid formula. The difference is in the improvements. From the beginning you will notice that the game looks amazing. Planet Zebes looks great, with incredible detail to the environments and enemies. Samus herself looks great, with more detail and much better animations. But the improved visuals are not the only improvements. Samus is now is capable of handling both the enemies and the environments with some new moves she has picked up over the years. You can now shoot is all eight directions. This makes for enemies to be taken out much easier. Also, she has now learned to grab onto walls. This opens up many new areas, and lets you explore Zebes like never before. One complaint is that, if you remember the original, the game will feel very familiar, with items in generally the same spots, which can make this a very short experience. But there is also enough new content and improvements to make the game fresh, the biggest being a completely new area after the original end of the game. While the original will always stand on its own, this is a great remake and a nice new way to see Metroid.
