I don't believe this game age well at all. At the point that today i don't even consider it a good game. No map, unfair difficulty. But at least this is the first game of one of my favorite franchises and it has most of those things that i love about it

This game was fun. For the NES era, it had great exploration and a creepy atmosphere that I liked. It was really difficult, easy to get lost without a map, and the controls themselves feel a little stiff. Not the greatest game ever, but still a decent start to the series.

I played this game on the NES and I can say that things really haven't changed. I will always prefer this version over Zero mission on GBA. The original soundtrack is one of my favorites, and every time I wake up I hear the ENTER SAMUS jingle. I will always prefer the NES version over this one, but if you have a GBA then this is the best way to play. I still have fond memories of climbing as fast as I could in Brinstar, and discovering the energy tank for the first time. Metroid is also the perfect length for a handheld console, It's around 4 to 5 hours of gameplay, and this is if you make your way to Mother Brain on the first try. I recommend Metroid on any platform (Except Wii and Wii U)

I played this back in the day. It was one tough non linear game but the toughness came from not having a map and the saves not working. t was a game unlike super mario and stuff aimed at more mature players. Solid 10 and one of the best nes games. you shouldnt buy it now because its dated obviously but if they remake it somehow with modern graphics grab it. By modern i mean modern 2d graphics not the 3d crap. if i wanted 3d i would play mass effect or grand theft auto

--> Pro's: *it's the original classic, which is still a good game. *it used to be cheap new. --> Cons *there's a remake (zero mission) on the same system. *that very same remake unlocks this game upon completion. *The game has aged. *The game is pretty hard. --> Conclusion: Do not buy unless collecting the "NES Classics" line of GBA games.

All the reviews on here are complaining about how this is already on zero **** what if it already on zero mission. This is a fantastic game and needed a release as a stand alone game. The story this game started is amazing and fans of the series or the game.

If you missed out on the NES release of this, be sure to check this one out. Multiple weapons and massive levels make this a great game to play in the car.
