DESCRIPTION
Developed by the team responsible for Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion for Game Boy Advance continues the side-scrolling mix of action and exploration first introduced in 1987 on the 8-bit NES. As Samus Aran, a female soldier encased entirely in gadget-equipped armor, players must journey to a mysterious planet to investigate an abandoned research lab populated by hostile alien species. Samus' redesigned suit of armor can fire missiles, perform speed dashes, and morph into a ball so she can drop bombs to reveal new areas.
Samus can also learn new moves, many of which are hidden or acquired after defeating bosses, including the ability to climb walls, grab ledges, and move hand-over-hand by gripping the ceiling. In a departure from previous games in the series, Metroid Fusion has enemies inhabited by parasitic power-ups. Shooting an alien releases a flying power-up that can be caught for extra health or additional missiles. If a power-up evades capture, it will seek to reunite with the fallen host and bring it back to life. Or, it may go off in search of another life form to inhabit. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“This game was something of a departure from the traditional Metroid formula. Instead of a nearly story-less isolation with very little clue of where to go, this game had a story, and you were quite literally shepherded from place to place. Doors you weren't supposed to go in were locked. You were allowed to go exploring near the end of the game, and some of the items were extremely well hidden, but it didn't help with the fact that the exploration was mostly taken from the game. However, it is still a very fun game, and it continues the story well.”

Bring Ridley back from the dead. Very neat, and from what I've been reading there is a time line in the Metroid Universe. I wonder when this game comes in the timeline... Prime is before SNES...? Fusion is after? It must be, Ridley is dead after all.”

“This is a must have GBA game. Not as good as Super Metroid, but damn good in its own way.”
