Metroid Zero mission is a remake of the NES classic game Metroid . The original game originally released in America all the way back in 1987,this remake however was released back in 2004. For those of you who may not have ever played a Metroid game before this is the best game to start with. This game is a lot darker then just about any other Nintendo game out there but it also manages to do so while still being somewhat kid friendly.Theirs no cursing and no blood plus your only shooting space aliens so the game is not to violent at all for the parents out there. Fun fact Nintendo even stated that these games were heavily inspired by the horror movies Aliens.

To be fair though I always thought that both the 1st 2 games were the worst games in the series. As a matter of fact I didn't get into Metroid tell Super Metroid and even then I didn't play that when it first released. However when I did play that game I instantly fell in love with it. Everything about that game was perfect from the somewhat creepy atmosphere to the soundtrack and even the difficulty seemed balanced. Fast forward 10 years and the original Metroid was way overshadowed by Super Metroid. So henceforth Nintendo decided to remake the original Metroid and by remake I don't mean the current way of doing things with HD remasters. This game has been completely revamped the soundtrack is remixed, theirs new areas to explore, a map and the game feels new and even today it does not feel outdated. The game actually feels more like a slightly improved Super Metroid prequel then the original Metroid.

graphics 10/10

Metriod Zero Missions graphics is amazing for the handheld. Zero Mission takes more from Fusion and Super Metriod then it does the original game so be prepared for a completely revamped experience. Like the original NES classic pretty much everything sets up the Atmosphere in the game to give it a kind of creepy feel. The sprites are very good and the enemy design is flawless I would say these are some of the best 2d graphics in a game ever its truly a peace of artwork and it even holds up today.

sound 9/10

Now for the sound in this game is outstanding. If it wasn't for the music the game would still be good though but it helps create tension and helps it make it feel as if you are actually stranded on a alien planet by yourself and you have to go deeper and deeper into this crazy place. If I had any complaints about the sound is that sound effect that keeps beeping when your low on health it gets really annoying.

Story 10/10

Zero Missions takes place on the planet Zebes where it is Samus mission to find and exterminate the Mother brain who I assume wants to take over the galaxy. After that your basically stranded by yourself on a alien planet. This game basically sets up the characters for its sequels. So the plot is nice and simple without being to simple and keeps the game going. Theirs also a nice little plot twist for the hardcore metroid fan at the end of the game (no spoilers here from me).

Addictiveness, Difficulty and depth 10/10

Unless you have played and beaten the original game to death this game is really addictive. If you played the original game you will know where almost everything is however at the end of the game theirs a completely new area and the game turns into Metroid 1.5. Without giving out any spoilers I'll just say the first half of the new area has you play as Samus only armed with a stun pistol and without her power suit and you have to sneak your way around almost like a futuristic version of Metal gear solid. This new section basically sets up the plot for the Prime games and any Metroid fan will be pleased. So I would say this game has a lot to it. Also after you beat it you can play a full version of the original unaltered version of the game so I would say this game is worth every penny. If I had any complaints about this game is that it is pretty easy and short. Note the hard mode makes up for it but you have to play it on normal first before you can play the hard mode.

overall 10/10

Zero Mission is a great game to start off with if your new to the series or veterans alike. It takes everything that was wrong with the original and gives it elements of its much better sequel Super Metroid to make a game in my opinion even better then Super Metroid. Although it may seem a little short anyone somewhat into video games should definitely get this game.
