Classic NES Series: Metroid

"In the end, while Samus is still the coolest space pirate fighting babe in history, the game is dated and, more importantly, has been available as a free bonus in so many superior Metroid games that it really isn't worth the price. "

"NES Metroid is a true Nintendo classic and is still a great game, but it's just absolutely mind-boggling why the company opted to bring this one out instead of something in the company's library that hasn't shown its head in years. The only reason to spend 20 bills on this one is if you have no interest in zipping through the awesome GBA remake, Metroid: Zero Mission, or simply want to complete the Classic NES collection. It's not worth the purchase otherwise."

"It's easy to see how certain aspects of Metroid's design made it a classic, but 18 years later, the overall package just doesn't measure up to today's action adventure standards."
