Super Metroid is officially a First Person Shooter!

From side scrolling action, it was to make it\'s present generation debut as a third person view, a la Zelda. Now it\'s been scrapped and gone to first person, a la Half-life.

You can either scream out foul language like a possessed Linda Blair or sing the sound of music like that...nanny.

I enjoyed metroid, its a shame to see them conform to the market standard like everyone else.


I think they should have gone third person and left it at that..   But hey you never know the game might be rockin...  But then again I think its time to think of something new, and not try to capitalize on the name...  Be innovative..

Anyone who has played metroid, and only those people (it wouldn\'t get across the same to someone who hasn\'t ever seen an entire metroid game), read this:

Samus just laid a bomb in a bug infested room down in a deep cave. She has 2 minutes to get out. The way she came in is blocked by hordes of bugs, so she must find another way out. She starts to run down another pathway. She picks up full speed and is now dashing,(with the cool lighting effects) she bust through a rock wall and stops, now the bomb has gone off. It goes to a cut scene to show the bomb explode and there is a wall of fire headed towards her. So she has to start running again, she starts busting through multiple rock walls, and vaporizing enemies as she runs right through them. She see\'s a tall metal wall up ahead. So there\'s no way to go but up. While still running at full speed she reaches the end and dash jumps, it cuts to a cool matrix type scene that pans around her right as she lifts off the ground (still with the cool lighting effects), then she\'s headed upwards to the surface. Barely escaping the fire behind her.

But it\'s not over. The Big alien is mad that you killed all her children. The alien survived the explosion but is on fire and coming at you. It\'s a very tight enclosed arena setting. The walls are high and there\'s no where to jump that\'s safe to get a good shot. Samus has got a new gun, a new kind of grapple. (It\'s kinda like a lasso, that once it\'s around it\'s enemy, it temporarily stuns them. But Samus herself has got to complete the lasso by circling the enemy).( it would also be a way to gather multiple enemies at the same time) Samus shoots her lasso grapple (temp name) and gets a hold on the enemy, she strafes around the alien and completes the lasso. The Big alien is temporarily stunned and vulnerable...

They could be doing this kind of stuff and better. And to the person who said it\'s time to innovate, hell yes!!  Finally, someone is not being a troll about it.

So trust me, I\'ll have a GC before I even CONSIDER deciding to plunk down $400 on an X-box.
