Super Metroid is probably considered by many to be the greatest Metroid game of all time. Of course, that is just peoples opinions, but it isn't hard to tell why it is said often. Super Metroid was the game that defined much of the gameplay features that are still used today.
GRAPHICS: 9
Since Super Metroid was the first one on console since the first game on the NES, it was a HUGE change in graphics. The backgrounds of the worlds are perfect and make it feel like you are actually deep underground on an alien planet. The bosses look epic, and the enemies look awesome.
SOUND: 9
Not only did this game have awesome sound effects, but it had an amazing soundtrack. If this game was never made, we wouldn't have Ridley's signature theme song that has been used in EVERY single battle since. Every alien monster had their own sound effects, which were a sign that they were nearby if you could hear them but couldn't see them.
ADDICTIVENESS: 8
This game has many things for you to do, with it constantly changing so it doesn't get boring or tedious. This makes the game a lot more addicting then some of the other installments in the metroid series.
STORY: 7
Super Metroid had a pretty good story to it. It takes place directly after Metroid II, where Samus discoveres the metroid hatchling. She brings it to a laboratory to hand over to some scientists who want to use its energy for the good of mankind. She gets a distress signal not long after, and discoveres that the Ceres station was attacked by none other then Ridley. Samus's job is to get the Metroid larva back from his grasp.
DEPTH: 10
The world of Zebes is filled with hidden rooms and areas just waiting to be uncovered. You can find hidden spots in walls that can be destroyed, which give access to power-ups or recharge rooms. Each biome has its on types of aliens, usually varients of different monsters around the game. Most have a boss hidden in the depths, such as Ridley or Kraid. There is plenty to do all over this game.
DIFFICULTY: 7
This game can be pretty difficult if you have never played a 2D metroid game before. If it is your first time playing, you will get stuck often. I would probably not recommend this game to a casual gamer, unless they have played Metroid before.
OVERALL: 9.9
This game is just amazing. That is basically the best way to sum it up. Many people will agree if I say that it is one of the greatest video games of all time.
