The dude that made Gears previewed this game at E3. Looks awesome. Being described as a perfect descendant of Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night... STRONG words, I know. I just bought it via the Marketplace website. Can't wait to play it.

splosion man, MvC2 and Shadow complex are all must buys. Shadow complex is absolutly wonderful. its metroid, only you know where your going!

Bringing up comparisons to Metroid and SOTN is getting me all excited.

just beat the game. Its about 5 hours give or take assuming you don't get majorly lost or frustrated. (I did at one part.) The power ups you get throughout the game are fantastic and a lot of fun to use. Platforming through the underground base never gets old, and the combat is very cool. Graphics, what can i say? It's an arcade game that looks better than most retail games. simple as that. The story is dumb but you're going to have a lot of fun playing it.

good stuff. I got about an hour in last night. I'm pretty good about whoring an area till I get everything (if possible at that point). Loving it so far. Can't wait to play more. The woman works tonight, so maybe I'll finish it.

It has a lot more in common with Metroid than Castlevania imo. There's no weapon management or armor. You do level, but there's no specs or anything associated with it. It's very much like Super Metroid (which isn't a bad thing at all) where you explore and find a power up to get you to an area you couldn't before.
LOVE IT. -
My roommate beat it on casual in three hours, said its the best XBL title he has ever played.
-
i agree 100%. This game is the biggest love letter nintendo has ever gotten for metroid.

yeah, if you consider yourself a gamer, and you like awesome games... You're cheating yourself by not playing this. It really is homage to Super Metroid.
