I played Metroid, Metroid II, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2. I guess my favorite is Metroid Prime, it was a fresh game experience with good story and gameplay. I liked Super Metroid a lot, too. Sadly, I sold it when I was younger :( I never finished Metroid 1 and Metroid Fusion, though.
The lack of direction is what led me away from Metroid 1. I felt a lot more like I was being led in Super Metroid, which is why I was able to beat it. Then again, I also beat the game without mandatory items by mistake. Maybe I was just confused. >_>Quote:

I don't crave linearity but a game where you wander aimlessly just gives me no satisfaction. I'm sure that didn't answer your question. Eh....Quote:

There's a point where exploration turns into aimless wandering for me because I don't know where to go or what to do next so I lose interest. I'm pretty sure I'd have to use a guide to avoid that. As for Metroid Prime, it gave me a better sense that I knew where I was going throughout, but then it turned into a god awful fetch quest in the end so I took it back to the rental store and swore to never bother with the series again.
Well now, I guess I WAS confused. :p
Oh, I think they're great fun! I've never played past the first couple of levels on any of them, but I can't think of a single game in the series that I dislike. Also Samus ftw.
Samus is a total badass.
I own Metroid Prime and it's the only Metroid game I've played. I really like Metroid Prime a lot, and so far playing it has been entertaining. I'd really like to get into the rest of the series - I've been looking for Metroid Prime 2 for ages, but haven't been able to find it, and if I ever get a Wii I'll download the older games available.
I'm sure I could expound for hours about how much I love the metroid series. It's my favorite video game franchise of all time.
Instead I'll just give the ones I've played, ranked...
1. Super Metroid
2. Metroid Prime
3. Metroid Fusion
4. Metroid
5. Metroid Prime 2
6. Metroid 2: Return of Samus
7. Metroid Zero Mission
even towards the bottom of those list, they're still great games. Zero Mission was kind of a let-down (I got hyped up for a remake of 1 and it was not at all like what I expected). I've yet to play much of Metroid Prime 3 because all I've seen of my friends playing it and people talking about it makes me think I wouldn't like it that much. Seems too deviant from the spirit of Metroid games.
I really really want a new 2D entry to the series, by the way.
