hmm. seeing mixed reviews here and there is what I was expecting... I can understand the whole inner-voice of Samus, but seeing X-play's is giving me the vibe that someone over there definitly wasn't playing it right/having a one track mind on how a game he wants to should be played.

XPlay did it too?

 

Score?

So they're sticking with the authorization method throughout the entire game?

 

Son of a bitch.

What is this authorization method? (Haven't been following any of the game).

Meaning that technically Samus has all her powers from square one, but she'll only use them when Adam lets her.

Now i'll grant that we've had to go through some significant deus ex machina to remove Samus' powers before (at least at the beginning of Prime, Prime 2, and Fusion), but this seems like the wrong antidote to that. It'll feel artificial as hell.

 

And damn, scores are leeching lower than i thought. The controversy behind these design choices is not sitting well with reviewers, it seems.

Though we all remember how reviewers bitched and moaned about Mario Kart Wii, too.
