Title: Anyone else pick up Metriod: Zero Mission?
Post by: Living-In-Clip on February 11, 2004, 10:57:57 PM: Has anyone else picked up the brilliant remake of Metriod, called Metriod: Zero Mission? I got it today and I must say, I\'m addicted.

I disagree with you there. The fact that the game was more story oriented (and in turn held your hand through a lot of the mission) was something of a blessing as, at the time, I was getting all I wanted with exploration and discovery through the likes of Metroid Prime -- and although I know YOU hated it, I loved that game as well. The two perfectly complemented eachother and I personally loved Fusion more because of its story. This game balances both quite nicely and it\'s a joy because of it. Notice the awesome music in Norfair and Kraid? Good stuff. Don\'t forget the awesome graphics -- Samus leaves trails when she spin jumps like Alucard in SotN -- so awesome!

Post by: Ryu on February 14, 2004, 01:30:51 AM: I beat MZM yesterday with 60% completion at 4 hours and 1 minute time. Hell of a game. The twist at the end is amazing. It very well could have been a solid game on its own with those merits.

Post by: Eiksirf on February 14, 2004, 10:19:57 AM: So is it a remake of the original or not?

I thought it was a new title.

Post by: Blade on February 14, 2004, 01:57:37 PM: I haven\'t played it yet, but it\'s supposed to be a highly revised remake of the first game.

Think MGS:TS, or RE:Remake. Am I right, guys? A remake with a lot of new stuff?

Post by: Ryu on February 14, 2004, 08:14:58 PM: You\'ll beat it in probably less time then I did. Regardless though, the game is worth every penny. It\'s definitely awesome. Yes, Eik, the game is a remake of Metroid on the NES, but the game also has a MASSIVE amount of upgrades for the game too. Each one better then the last. The game definitely surpasses the greatness that is Metroid Fusion.

I don\'t know, man. I was cussing quite abit when I would set off the alarms. However, I also enjoyed it quite abit. Unexpected and fun, if not somewhat frustrating. I however was dissapointed with how easy the last boss was (Meta-Ripley). Infact, none of the bosses was actually hard and the only one milding frustrating was Mother-Brain and only due to the fact there was a zillion things going on at once.

Post by: Ryu on February 16, 2004, 02:51:15 PM: Just wait till you play it on hard. I promise, the difficulty ramps up greatly then. Everything takes MUCH more damage, missile upgrades are now 2 instead of, and super missiles upgrades are now 1 instead of 2. Believe me, it\'s MUCH harder.
