Not at all, no.

END-GAME SPOILER, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME:

I think the funniest thing about Samus's reaction to Ridley is how differently Anthony reacts. Samus sees Ridley, freezes up, has to be saved, can't summon up her suit in time to save Anthony.

Anthony is falling to his death but is still clear-headed enough to freeze a lava monster and use it as a platform to survive certain death.

I think we know who the real hero of this story is

I dunno.  From all of the comments I read before, I expected Samus to curl into a ball (a regular ball, not a morph ball), lay on the floor and cry until someone wheeled her away in a wheel chair while Anthony gets killed.  It didn't play out like that at all.  Samus froze up for about two seconds and Ridley grabbed her and started kicking her ass.  She got right back into the fight, but wasn't quick enough stop Anthony from falling.  And he didn't even die!  No harm, no foul.  That whole scene was blown way out of proportion.  I was a little let down by how much it didn't suck.

I"m really glad to hear you were able ot enjoy it. Regardless of what I thought of it, the fact that you liked it so much is still a very good thing.

Where would you rank it compared to the other Metroid games?
