Having played Super Metroid first, it took me a
while to get used to the original, but Metroid
is also an excellent game. Primarily a game of exploration,
you wander the planet Zebes looking for powerups such
as missiles and improvements to your exo-armour, eventually
confronting two "boss" characters and finally Mother Brain.
The graphics are stylish but dated, and some of the color
palettes are a little garish. The music is moody in a
good way, and the control of the character is spot on.
The challenge of the game can get frustrating at times,
but the amount of exploration and secrets to be found,
make Metroid a classic.
The ablility to play through the game again with a fully
powered-up suit, and five different endings are icing
on the cake!
