Total play time:
9 hours 30 minutes.

Due to the urging of a very close friend, I began playing Super Metroid. I stopped playing after putting 9.5 hours into it and only getting about 1/2 way done. Either I'm really horrible at this game, or everyone on "How Long to Beat" does really slow speed runs. Verdict is still out.

The game is fantastic, it has great atmosphere, great music, tight controls, and amazing graphics. My biggest complaint about the game is, and I'm sure it's more my problem than it is the game's, too much platform jumping that I suck at.

This game has me torn. I want to finish it, but I want to move on. With the holidays coming around, and more games being added to my collection and older games I never got to. I'm moving on.


My rating:
4 out of 5

Verdict?
Keeping it.


Next game?
BioShock Infinite (for real this time?)
