To me Metriod has Samus alone isolated on alien turf killing things and exploring. Not interacting with others in a soap opera or a bad sci-fi channel movie.

Stop over-exaggerating, this is no soap opera.

To me this will add depth to her character and will be a very interesting game to play.

If I want the game you want, I can go back and play the several metroid games released before it.

As long as I'm able to skip the cutscenes after my first playthrough, I'm good.

I wish they didnt do V/O's and big cutscenes. I only like that in JRPG's most of the time. However, Ive had it on preorder forever and still plan to get it. Im sure I will enjoy it just like any other Metroid game.

No over-exaggeration, if you sat down to watch this as a movie you would think it was worse than the giant bull movie on sci-fi channel  LOL 

How does  "depth of character" really add anything to what made metriod fun.  Killing monsters, upgrading weapons and exploring. 

I might add with super  metroid the feeling of isolation far away from any human with excellent mood music

wow, shows how much you know ..

Wait, so is this just IGN UK and not IGN US?

EDIT: Nvm. Verified.

That Xplay review was really good.

From what I'v seen of the story, I feel sorry for girls who used to look up to Samus.

Saying the dialog was worse than the giant bull movie on sci-fi channel might be hyperbole

But when you play the game you become the character and if good you become immersed. When you have numerous and long cutscenes it yanks you out of your immersion and pushes you back into what the genius rock star designer wants you to feel.  It ruins it for me anyways
