THE GOOD:
Great game and pretty lengthy with alot of suprises.
Can be linked up with Metroid Prime to unlock a bonus feature.

THE BAD:
The graphics are ok but not great.

SUMMARY:
Metroid Fusion is a good game for the Gameboy Advance and requires alot of brains to play through because some of the strategy ideas are mind blowing. The game is a pretty long game with lots of secrets including a link up that you can do to Metroid Prime to unlock a new bonus feature. The graphics on the game arn't that great but do not affect the gameplay in any way. the sound matches the visuals and suits the mood of the game all the way through. The layout of the screen is completly different to Metroid Prime but still very nice to play through although i have to say i'd prefer it if it was like Metroid Prime.

Overall it's a very good game and could keep you entertained formany hours, especially if you can't get through the strategy parts.

THE GOOD:
Like the title it brings back fair memories of the old school Super Metroid,and I think thats awsome.You even get to still use the wall jump!

THE BAD:
Too short.Thats it thats my only gripe,Some say the suit sucks but i dont care about that,this game is the shit!

SUMMARY:
Metroid Fusion is my first(and only)gba game.With only playing this I can say this is one of the greatest games gba has to offer.The graphics were nicely done,especially the cutscenes.The gameplay is in some ways just like old school Super Metroid and in some ways it isnt.Like you still pick up diffrent suits and abilities but diffrently,You absorb them from something,I wont spoil it and tell you what or how though.Its all=so after defeating a boss is when you will be able to do this.Also whats diffrent is that you have to hold the R shoulder button to use missles,while in SM you could tap a button once(I forget which)and shoot missiles without holding anything.Fortunatly the controls are easy to handle.

This next Metroid also has something none of the prequels had,dialogue.You get interested in the relationship between Smaus(the main character if you didnt know)and her computer......dont laugh.Although the relationship between the 2 become more noticeable around the end.Anyways Story really isnt what brings you in its the gameplay and its in full force here and if you have any braincell left in your head you would go and buy this game right when you get the money,understand?Good.........WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GBA  Metroid fusion- a fusion of the good...and er the good! 4.6

THE GOOD:
Great Graphics
Decent difficulty level
Decent, original story
Controlling samus is flawless

THE BAD:
Around 4 hours max first play through
Too linear

SUMMARY:
Metroid fusion- Prime may have had fans divided but everyone was looking forward to this- Developed by the people behind super metroid- and you can tell.

Graphics 10/10:
Nintendo exceled themselves here- however I can hear them now- 'Its plain old 2d graphics, whats so special???' a few things are special actually- 1st up are the backgrounds- there is always something interesting to look at.
2nd is the animation- Top notch- it has an incredibly decent running animation.
3rd and finally is samus herself- both sides of her fusion suit look different and gives a sence of realism.

Sounds 8/10.

Not. As. good. As. super. Metroid.

gameplay 9/10:

Controlling samus is flawless, but you are always told what to do- giving it a sence of some sort of linear adventure- but to an extent it adds to the game and to the story.

Lifespan 7/10:

You will see it off in no time at all but 100% will take a while. You'll play it again mind.

Originality 9/10:

Its the first linear metroid and the first metroid with a story and the first metroid with a funky suit. phew- a mouthfull was that =).

Over all: 4.6: It almst achieves perfection-

THE GOOD:
~Great Story
~Great Weapons and Missions
~New and Old Creatures
~Graphics are ok

THE BAD:
~New Suit(I liked the Old one)

SUMMARY:
This is the second Metoid game ive played and i thought it was very good. The story is very cool but you have to get a new suit. I liked the old suit a lot better.

There are many new creatures, but they kept some of the old ones as well. There are cool bosses to beat and you get moves after defeating each one, or you get power ups to moves you already have.

The graphics in it are awesome, and the sounds are very cool. There are many missions to go on, so you really wont be bored. There are many obstacles that you will encounter. Plus there's a new, very powerful creature that is tracking you...

Other than having a new suit, this game is really awesome.

<b>Gameplay:</b> 8/10<ul>This was the first of the Metroid games that actually possessed a straight-forward plotline and objective. Unlike it's predecesors and well-known past styles, you were told what to do by a computer, and knew <i>exactly</i> what your purpose on the base was.<br>The action and strategy in combat is amazing and unmatched by all other Gameboy games. It's a side-scroller, with enviroment-manipulating gameplay and fast gunworks, as well as a large exploration basis. You're always on the search for upgrades essential to your progress.</ul><b>Graphics:</b> 10/10<ul>Amazing Gameboy Advance graphics. Wonderful animation, great artwork for the brief "cutscenes", and an overall beautiful world to play in.</ul><b>Sound:</b> 9/10<ul>Great music, it really is a wonderful ambience for the many worlds you venture through. The sounds of your weapons and the enemies is also very captivating.</ul><b>Storyline:</b> 8/10<ul>The general plot is you, a bounty hunter named Samus Aran, are sent to a free-floating space center, where you must investigate the sudden disappearance of contact with the scientific crew, and explore the "X Parasite," a newly discovered virus that infects, mimics, and duplicates it's prey. Soon, Samus is hurled in a race for survival, a world of fierce relentless enemies, and one ominous foe who's power could destroy the female bounty hunter in a heartbeat, should she stop for even a moment.</ul><br><b>Overall:</b> 9/10<ul>Great plot, great graphics, great sound, but the directive objectives that betrayed the general Metroid-free-roaming feel kind of diluted the game's great quality. However, it is one of the best GBA game you'll ever own.</ul>

THE GOOD:
Graphics are phenomanal for GBA game, so much detail and life. The story itself is pretty good, interestingtiwsts, nver too hard or too easy, the right balance. Music is awesome, some new and some from Metriod 1 I noticed. Good environments, each with it's own different hazards, good weapons to choose from.

THE BAD:
The Freeze beam is only useable for the last boss>_< After you beat it, there's not much to do. Those are my only gripes.

SUMMARY:
I never likes Metroid until I tried this game. I was blown away at the greatness of the game. Everything about it was cool, the nemies, bosses, hidden weapon ammo, the huge environment. It left me in awe. I think this game is even better than Metroid Prime! I really recommend it to anybody who's bored of the same things you probably already buy, this game is different in a good way.

Taken from bri89's, alternate account.

GBA  Metroid 4 - Fusion... Perfect? 4.5

THE GOOD:
New suit, good story, new weapons, great music, cool new ennemies, and old ones too! What more could you want???

THE BAD:
Though Samus returns with a new suit, not everyone likes it. Graphics aren't great... but they aren't bad either.

SUMMARY:
Metroid 4 marked the new line of Metroid games in the year 2002 as the first Metroid game to be released in the new melenium. In this adventure, Samus ( the Heroine ) returns in a new suit ( yay? ) and is ordered to investigate an unknown explosion on a research station. Upon her arrival, it soon becomes clear that the entire station has been infected by parasites, and it's up to Samus to destroy them... or die trying.

This installement in the Metroid series came with new weapons, including the Diffusion missile. New ennemies, namely the X parasites. New challenges, new puzzles, new allies, and a great finish that will leave you speechless... or close to it, because you'll still need to tell all your friends about how great it is, right?

In conclusion, this game is a must have for any GBA collection, and get's a 4.5 out of 5 from me.

GBA  Fusion, The long awaited continuation 4.0

THE GOOD:
Great graphics, storyline, music

THE BAD:
Like most Metroid games, it was relatively short

SUMMARY:
Metroid Fusion is the long awaited sequel to Super Metroid. It continues on the Metroid series and brings along an all new threat, as well as a new friend for the Huntress. <br><br>Unlike other Metroid games, you don't get your power-ups by searching for them. You get your power-ups by either downloading data for them, or by absorbing the final form of each boss. The only items you actually search for are Energy Tanks, Missile and Power Bomb Expansions. Most of the power-ups from Super Metroid are back, along with a few new ones. <br><br>You face many new bosses, as well as some old ones. You encounter some old friends from Super Metroid as well. One of the most fascinating of these creatures is the SA-X, an evil clone of Samus at full power, that pursues you throughout the entire game. <br><br>The graphics and music are just as great as they were for Super Metroid. The only downside is that the game is shorter than Super Metroid was. But if you're a hardcore Metroid fan, this is a definitlely a must buy.

THE GOOD:
Oh the style and setting was great and you look way cool. The bosses were challenging and the best thing was the AWSOME MUSIC.

THE BAD:
I guess you don't understand the meaning of PERFECT 5

SUMMARY:
If I could name 2 of the worlds greatest things to do in the car it would be playing Medal Of Honr: Infiltrator or playing Metroid Fusion. Perfect time setting for the car ranging from 2-7 hours playing time which is great. Took me like 6:28 I think - I just borrowed the game so I don't remember. ANyway as I said before the music is AWSOME and Samus is a cutie :o and the bosses were well thought of. You can't have better enimies than on this game. If you have a LONG BORING trip coming up like me get this game and I swear it will keep you occupied the whole time.
