The game could be paced a bit better, but it's still a very worthwhile entry
A great remake but it is still Metroid 2 which is known to be the worst in the 2D series. The game introduces 360 degree aiming at last and a neat counter attack. Bosses can be annoying at times and the spider ball sucks. Otherwise its a good game though.
Fantastic. Finally another Metroid game. The melee counter makes for a nice addition to gameplay
