| mhsillen said: I never got the feel that this is a metriod game. She is a weak character who has so many issues, I wanna play Samus the strong silent type. We have a game that is nothing like the previous games. IMHO But it looks like it carved out a tiny fan base |
Why is she weak? Because she has a woman's voice? This makes no sense to me.
Even a man who has been in the military would naturally fall behind a well respected commander; especially if that commander was considered a strong daddy figure.
The game plays as baddass if not more than any other Metroid game when you consider the new kill moves.
How can it not be likened to any other Metroid game.
You're still basically alone in your travels.
You must upgrade your abilities. In this case its by necesity and having the weapon unrestricted as well as typical search and backtracing.
You fight the common enemies you've always faught in a new more vibrant and natural manner.
It is a great METROID game. Does it have a slight twist to the normal setup, yes, is that bad no. Its a progression. I think if they had stuck with the controls I mentioned above, I would argue it a nearly perfect progression.
The 'tiny' fanbase are those that can accept change and look at game's qualities not based on previous outings but on that game in itself. MoM in itself is a fantastic Metroid experience.
