Metroid: Zero Mission is a remake of the original game and a very good
one at that. All of the original and newer bosses, weapons, levels, and
that classic feeling of exploration made their way into this game. For
what is it worth (probably $20 at your local Gamespot/EB) this game is
amazing!
Now, many people will tell you that the game is short; 3-5 hours the
first time through. In fact, I will tell you, "Yeah, the game is short."
But...
If you want to collect all of the extras, you'll find yourself beating
Metroid: Zero Mission many times over. Just like other Metroid games,
upon completing the game, depending on your item percentage and
finishing time, you'll unlock bonuses. And if you're hardcore, you
might try to beat the game as fast as you can just to prove how awesome
you are (I think the speed demo record is 28:50 by Luke Yagnow).
Nonetheless, players who only want to go through the game twice will
have just as much fun; beating the game once unlocks a new difficulty
setting as well as the original NES version of Metroid. All things
considered, the game is worth buying.
