Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
After an absence of almost eight years, Samus Arran is finally back in Metroid Fusion battling evil in a brand new 2-D arcade adventure that's one of the best GBA games so far.

Taking its cue from the SNES game Super Metroid, this all-new title starts with Samus infected by the evil X parasites and battling to rid a space station of their menace. Part platform game, part shoot-'em-up and part RPG, the Metroid games are some of the most revered in all gaming history.

With a gameplay not unlike that of the newer Castlevania games (although Metroid did it all first), Metroid Fusion forces you to explore the huge space station as you slowly regain your various bounty hunting powers. The game includes all the old Metroid power-ups, including the morph ball and screw attack and plenty of other new gadgets. There's also the chance to practise your wall bounce, which must rank as one of the most difficult yet satisfying moves to pull off ever in a video game. Another nice new twist is that all the enemies are infected by X parasites, so when you shoot them the parasites just fly off and infect another creature unless you catch them first.

As good as the game is, though, it's not as perfectly designed as its forebear--there's far too much dull story line and the game is (perhaps by necessity on a portable console) more linear than before. But even these slight foibles might be seen as positives by some, making this a game no-one will want to miss. --David Jenkins

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest GBA game so far!!!!??!!!!!!, 27 Nov 2002
In my opinion, Metroid Fusion is the greatest GBA game released so far, as you try to help Samus recover to full strength to take on the X parasites, in an all new game from the creaters of the original Metriods.

Technically, the game runs with incredable speed, and it is very fluent in changing scenes and music.

A lot of people were worried about the control methods for this game, but i can assure you that the button combinations used within this games are spot on, and very easy to get the hang of.

This game is a definate must for all Metriod fans, and for GBA owners who like their platformers nice, fast, and with a good story behind them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Metroid Fusion is Gaming Heaven., 26 Nov 2002
This is the fourth game in the Metroid series which, until now, hasn't had the recognition it deserves. Hopefully, this is set to change, however, with the advent of this fantastic new Gameboy Advance update, and the upcoming Metroid Prime on Gamecube.
If I were to describe Metroid Fusion as a side-scrolling shoot 'em up adventure, it would really be selling it short, even though that's exactly what it is. You take on the role of Samus Aran, female bounty hunter, and star of the Metroid games, whose DNA has been fused with that of the Metroids in order to save her from an attack by the parasitic life form, X. The plot is driven by well-drawn cutscenes of events and Samus’ own internal monologue, as you learn her history, and also about the new enemy.
Graphics throughout are fantastic, with smooth animation on all characters, and the backgrounds are intricate and well drawn. Add some tasty spot effects like fog and water, and the overall look is very stylish. The audio also deserves a mention, with music being very subtle, and ambient sounds increasing the tension. However, as with all Nintendo games, gameplay is the priority here, and it excels. Initially, Samus has only a few moves, but as progress is made, her latent abilities, such as morphing into a ball to enter narrow gaps, and the charge laser, are unlocked, enabling you to explore further, occasionally running into a fearsome boss creature, destruction of which may yield a new skill.
The blend of exploration and shooting action is VERY playable and addictive- you will find it hard to put down. After completing the game once, you will be able to start over, and try to increase your item count (there are many secret areas, not listed on the map) and decrease the time taken- it’s a good incentive to revisit those areas, and again it’s the idea of unlocking abilities to enable more detailed exploration that keeps you hooked. All in all, a classic game from Nintendo, and one which should definitely be in every Gameboy Advance owner’s collection. BUY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Try before you buy..., 15 Dec 2004
By S. Taylor (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you rush into Fusion expecting it to be a Mario clone... Don't. This is a cold and lonely game that will split gaming forums down the middle. I'm only giving 5 stars because it is my type of thing but if you want a 'twitch sensitive, chucking your character across the screen game' stick with Sonic, Mario or even Lady Sia if you really want. Without wrecking the story (there isn't much of one), Samus gets attacked by poorly named alien creature, becomes Fusion Samus, gets sent to research centre over the planet from original Metroids and has to check it out. As usual, everything goes wrong and Samus' life sucks. it's incredibly linear. Samus hates getting ordered around and so do I. It's nowhere as near as open ended as the other games! It is possible to complete this game in two hours (beleive me, I did it in 1.49) but it should take the average gamer around six hours... But there really is no replay value here at all... You know what is going to happen... And you know what happens in the final battle... All I can say to help you is this: Charged beams are alot more affective than rockets... Good Luck, lady
