BIAS!!!

Frankly, I think the Metroid Games are alright. Largely because I dislike shooty games. However, having seen the game, I'm inclined to give a different score, based on my 20 minutes of watching Tyro play.

The graphics are good. They're clean, and they really show this world. I don't think these are the greatest graphics (even on the Wii), by necessity, and the graphical style isn't a preference of mine. Overall, 7.5 for graphics.

The music is great. Nintendo is great at composing gems of orchestral music for the games, and this is no exception. Pounding beats when enemies are around, and anywhere from cautious optimism to OMG TRAP! are found throughout the game. 9.5 for music.

Controls. This game is a great treat to play. You'll love aiming with the remote, and the cool hyperminigames you have to do with the remote. 10 for controls.

Gameplay. It's great. You shoot stuff, and explore, while shooting things. Then you shoot a bigger thing. That can fly, falling through a tunnel. Also, it's big. What can I say? Gameplay is great: 9.5.

Overall, I'd give this game an 8.5. It's great, but it's not perfect. I'd love to play it, but first I have to start the other two. See you all later.

You can't judge the Metroid games as "alright" You've never played them :P. Calling me biased!
No, honestly, you're right, I am biased about this, everyone. But play it, trust me it is fun (even if not as fun as originally proposed).

Thanks for calling on my Cloudy. I'll remember this if you ever review Phantom Hourlgass
