Even though the Super Nintendo is hardly state-of-the-art anymore, this game is still one of the best I've ever played. It has a huge map to explore with many secrets. Challenging gameplay and excellent player control as well as cool graphics and music make this game great!

My favorite SNES title

"Super Metroid" is one of the few games of its ilk that I can come back to and play over and over again. Sure, it's not that hard for experienced gamers -- something I used to be, but no longer claim to be -- but who cares when you are having this much fun? And I don't care how good you are; you're never going to get all the items and find all the secrets without a player's guide. "Super Metroid" built upon the success and innovation of the original NES title and ended up being a true classic, a game that, for me, always worked as the video game version of the "Alien" film series. Very few games come close to this one.

This is SERIOUSLY the BEST VIDEO GAME EVER!

When I say this is the best video game ever, i'm not kidding. I'v played many video games for many systems like Genesis, SNES, N64, Saturn, Playstation, Playstation2, NES, Atari Jaguar, and original Atari. I recieved it as a gift and considered returning it, since I knew nothing about it. That would have been the biggest mistake I had ever made in my life. Once I started playing this, I couldnt stop.

This game has everything a gamer can want. Awesome graphics and sound, challenging gameplay, awesome moves, and incredible bosses. I loved it so much, I couldn't stop playing. This game creates such an awesome effect, you feel like you're there. I had been looking for a game that was a little harder, and I found it. I can go on and on about how great this game is. It's more of a role playing adventure than a video game. When I finally beat it, I almost cried, there was no more Super Metroid. Ever since then I'v been waiting for Samus to return in an all new Metroid adventure.

There is no reason NOT to get this game. I can't think of anybody that wouldn't like it, except for a small child, because it would be too difficult and probably a bit scary. But if you've graduated from pre-school yet, GET THIS GAME. If you don't like it... well since that's impossible, I don't have to tell you what to do if you don't like it. GET THIS GAME. GET IT NOW. I'M NOT KIDDING. YOU NEED IT. BUY IT NOW.

Awesome game, horrible story execution...

No matter whether or not you liked the original NES Metroid, you're probably gonna be amazed by this game. Taking a lot of elements from the original and adding others, this game is easily a million times better than the NES version. Samus' animations are silky-smooth, and her weapons are lethal. The only bad part? The story isn't really tied into the actual gameplay, forcing you to blindly proceed through the game. Grab a power-up somewhere, backtrack to sometimes 5 or more areas you've already been to, and use the power-up in hopes that it'll effect your progress somehow? That isn't gameplay. That's horrible! I've beaten the game, and I'll probably never go through the entire thing again.

Pefect Game.

Super Metroid is one of the best Nintendo Games I have played. It's as fun and exiting watching someone play it as it is playing by yourself. Although it get's easy to beat after a few times, you can see different endings according to how long it takes you to beat it.Graphics: 2 thumbs up.Story:Great story compared to some games I know.(I not saying the story line is bad or anything, but it can be better). I say: great game.Nintendo should make a gamboy advance game for it.

My friend had this game when I was 7 or 8. I only played the game a few times, but I saw him play a lot. What I played of the game was awesome, by far the best SNES game I had seen. Super Metriod is the BEST SNES game.

The Best Game EVER!

Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo is the best game for that system! Everything about that game is awesome! The Story, gameplay, enemies, weapons, music, places, and MORE! This is a MUST-HAVE game!

Don't listen to Mr. Horrible Story Execution

This game rocks. Plain and simple there is just so much to figure out and like most games it doesn't hold your hand the whole way which kicks butt. I played this game when it first came out and had a blast. The game begs to be played again and again until you can beat it in two hours and get 100% of the items.

buy it and you will not be unhappy

ONE OF THE BEST

I loved the game. The weapons, the creatures, the levels and of course the ending. Which I've beat game countless times, each time with a sense of accomplishment. You find different weapons after battling the bosses. Picking up Energy Tanks, missiles, power bombs, reserve tanks, etc. You've reached a point in the game where you've picked up all the weapons, missiles, bombs, and suits you can muster. And boy do you need it to do battle with Motherbrain! It's an all time favorite just as Zelda is. I would recommend this game to action-adventure game players who love to seek and destroy. Super Metroid is an A+++++ game!
