Now today, not 20 or 30 years Metroid is shunned, very few still like the game series that now has a crippled reputation... But we aren't focusing on the present in this review, we are looking into the past! Metroid was a classic platformer that is what some call "The platformer starter." It was one of a kind at it's time because there weren't as many platformers at the time (Most platformers were owned by Nintendo at the time, like Mario, Super Mario bros, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, and so on) so it was a unique game. I rated it a 10/10 for it's graphics because back then people would look at the NES, SNES (SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem) , Atari, and alas the Gameboy (A portable Nintendo gaming product alike the Sega GameGear which my father once owned actually) were so amazing at the time. The game was pretty addictive and made my want to play it just like when I was 7 and I first got my dad's old Sony PS2 gaming system in Alaska (Come on, it's Alaska, it was Winter, that was what got me hooked on gaming) and my dad gave me his copy of Jak and Daxter The Precursor legacy (Another great platformer, made by Naughtydog) . The game wasn't that hard with me being a platformer fan (I have the Jak and Daxter HD collection on my PS3 as well as Littlebigplanet 1 & 2) I loved the game and found myself using the VGBA (VirtualGameBoyAdvance) emulator a lot when my internet was down and couldn't get on "the Board."  (Wow I really got off subject) Now if I'm ever asked:"Hey Kyle, I wanna try platformers out. Know any on 'The Board' that are good?" And I will say:"Metroid...." (EDIT: I accidentally forgot to add something so I decided to edit this and add it: Metroid also features a huge shake-up that isn't common during the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) era.. It was... A FEMALE HEROINE... Yeah that's right I said a female heroine... *Gasp* )
