Dang, that sucks, was expecting length closer to the original's and not like Fusion's walk in the park :\

If you go for a speed run or only play for the sake of "progress" your first time through, sure it might be that short. But half of the fun is exploring and trying to go places you're not "supposed" to go. Like I said, I'm 2 hrs in and only beat Kraid so far. There's much more here than the original Metroid to be sure.

I spent like 10 minutes with this this morning and was blown away. Gorgeous. NEED.

Well, whatever the length of it, quality over quantity is what's important I guess, and Metroid games always deliver in spades from that respect. :nod:

And :lol: Penny Arcade pulling out another one of their occasional gems for this:

The guy's line is funny, MB's isn't.

The game is way too short.

It's also $25-$30. Live with it. :)

Snap. He told you y'un. I traded in games for it yesterday, but I'm a big metroid fan so I can deal with it.

So is this shorter than the original Metroid, or what?

It is much larger than the original Metroid. The "guidance" and auto map removes much aimless wandering, and that may make it seem shorter. However, as I said you are free to ignore the guidance and go where ever the hell you want. The path to get where it's telling you to go is also usually hidden.
