Not all Metroid games are in my give a shit about pile. Super Metroid is an epic game. I go back and play this frequently. There are so many things about this game that draw me in. The game flows and keeps me wanting more even after playing it a hundred times. I exercise my brain each time I play remembering everything that has to be done to get to the end a champ. The visuals, the audio, the game play is all first class. Super creative design and unforgettable scenery make this game a classic I will never forget about. You would think that Nintendo would maybe exceed standards with the 2D handheld Metroid games and in my opinion they fall way short. It would be difficult to make a 2D Metroid game better than Super Metroid. Sure some will disagree, which is their problem not mine.
Metroid corruption is another one of my favorite games. I was living with a friend when the first Metroid Prime came out. I was in his room playing my new copy of Prime on a small ass tv. I didn't give a fuck, I was sucked in big time. I was totally into that game and it was so cool and new I thought I feared I might have been dreaming. I was pumped for Echoes and was let down. I was not a fan of that game and the dark crap you have to move around is boring and annoying. Most people like that game and I say go ahead and play it if you like. When corruption came out I didn't even bother with it because of echoes. I didn't play corruption until years later when I was bored at a game shop and picked it up. Then I started to play the beginning and thought the game was horrible and kind of dumb in a way. I stuck with it like I should for most games and the juice started to flow. The game got better and better. I'm glad I kept playing because I would have never found out that the game is one of the best games ever made. I don't like the beginning so I played up to the point where I like the game and saved it in first slot. Every time I want to play I copy to second slot and that is the beginning of the game for me. I did this with skyward sword as well and any other game that has shit in the beginning I want to avoid.
Corruption is so good I don't have any desire to go back and play Prime. I have and it is a waste of time because it doesn't compare to corruption at all. Corruption exceeds the standard by miles and miles.
Corruption is a well put together game and way more open world. The atmosphere changes up throughout the game and so do ways of progressing. If you haven't played Metroid Corruption or Super Metroid you now know you need to dump your girlfriend and get both games and consoles pronto.
Metroid Other M is not even worth mentioning. Read other peoples opinions elsewhere and that is likely what I think of the game. I think Nintendo learned their lesson with that game. I highly doubt they will team up with that director or tecmo again.
The very first NES metroid started it all for me and is a classic. I have gone back to play the game and it has lost it's appeal. I skip it for Super Metroid every time.
