    Relm Metroid games.

    I've been playing Metroid games a lot lately. Much to my disappointment, I've found that both my Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission carts have dead save batteries. I guess I'd better take up speed-running.

    What do you think of the Metroid series?

    I think Metroid games are incredibly boring

    No animals were harmed during the making of this opinion.

    They're alright. I've only played Super Metroid and got about 2 hours in before calling it a day. One of the few game series where I can respect the quality of the titles but can't seem to get into them. Same with Castlevania.

    I enjoy the 2D ones, but don't feel the series lends itself particularly well to the 3D realm. I have yet to beat any of the Prime games or Hunters, but Super Metroid and Zero Mission make me a happy camper.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Super Metroid is one of my favorite games of all time. I don't know how many times I've beaten it. But since I suck at rushing through games, I've never seen the best ending.

    It's a fun series, but not one I can play a lot of without getting incredibly bored.

    I never seemed to like them even though everyone around me obsessed. I was hardcore enough to beat the original NES metroid when I was 8 or 9, and maybe a few times afterward, but I didn't even really enjoy it then. I just had nothing else to play at the time.

    I have enjoyed every metroid game I have ever played, which would be all of them. Hunters was the most disappointing however.

    Super Metroid is one of the greatest games of all time. It's all been downhill since then, really.

    I've played Zero Mission and Fusion on the GBA. I could never beat the original or Super Metroid. Should go back and try to play them...someday.

    It pains me to admit it, but this is pretty much true.

    I disagree. In my opinion, this is how the series progressed in terms of hills.



    -------------------Super Metroid-
    ------------------/-------------\--------------Metroid Prime--MP2--Metroid Zero Mission
    ---------Metroid 2---------------\-------------/----------------------------------------\
    --------/------------------------Metroid Fusion------------------------------------------Metroid Prime 3
    Metroid

    In case that's hard to read, pretend that the -s don't exist and there's only the /s and the \s.

    Yeah, Zero Mission was a definite improvement over Fusion. I guess I just meant to say that, while the series might continue to have ups and downs, no installment released since 1994 has come at all close to the beauty and perfection of Super Metroid.
