Interesting point about the game's cutscenes. I loved what Retro did with the first Prime; it was a very immersive game that used its technology to really make you feel the isolation and solitude that made Samus's character. I mean, there's no dialog in the game, but I always felt that there didn't need to be. I didn't mind Samus's narration in Fusion at the time since I liked that they were further developing the character... but you're right, the SA-X scenes were fantastic enough that you really didn't need a script to convey what Samus was feeling. Also, giving her a supporting character to converse with was absolutely the wrong move.

thank you sir. and I agree, as I said in the review I think that people who just bitch that the game was too linear and leave it at that are really missing the point.

Good call giving the SA-X center stage in the review - it made the game, and my main regret was that the game could have been quite a lot better with more being stalked by it (think RE3 Nemesis style) and less plot exposition that, indeed, didn't exposit a whole lot of plot.

It's been so long since I've played the game that I'd forgotten about the moment when you fall through the ceiling and land right next to SA-X.

I hope so. troll review aside I love Super Metroid, and the others games all at least have good ideas behind them. they could strike gold again.

I'd definitely be up for another 2D Metroid. Prime, from what I've tried of it, is just not something I can do.

Man, that game was way too linear.
