It's a late review, I know.  But I rate them when I get the chance to.  (tomorrow I'll be posting one for Star Fox Assault a FULL WEEK before it gets released, and it's a pretty good game).

Anyhoo ... finally got my hands on Metroid Fusion.

It's a kick ass game.  ^^ that's about the extent of what needs to be said.

Anyhoo ... Metroid Fusion continues on the path of Super Metroid and delivers with an awesome impact.  Tight controls, and very good puzzle exploration business that's come to be expected of the series.

well, I'm sick at the moment, and tired.  so I'm not going to go into detail.  Besides, given the platform it delivers really very well.

One thing for Metroid fans that you won't be dissappointed on.  There is a TON of items to collect.  I thought I did pretty well the first time I beat it.  I had gathered some 30 missile packs, 8 health tanks, and 8 power bomb packs.  The collection status at the end gave me a 47%.  Incentive to play it again!

Yeah, the game play will probably last you about 6 hours the first time through, but with how fun it is, you'll probably want to play again.

Go buy it, and get the bonuses from Metroid Prime.
