Metroid



"DEFEAT THE METROID OF THE PLANET ZEBETH AND DESTROY THE MOTHER BRAIN THE MECHANICAL LIFE VEIN




GALAXY FEDERAL POLICE

Metroid was one of the first games that appeared on the NES, and is an adventure plaforming game with a vey heavy emphasys on exploration. You play the role of Samus Aran, an avid bounty hunter as she explores planet Zebes. She starts out equiped with a somewhat limited suit, but as she explores the strange planet she finds many items that give her enhancements as well as new abilites. Much like in Zelda games, she'll need these abilities to gain access to many areas that are out reach at first.

However unlike most games of its kin, she'll find herself alone throughout her journey. The sound and visuals make this even more notable. Much of its music is actually more of a sound texture that emphasices one aspect from the zone of Zebes she's exploring.

Not unlike Zelda, Mario, Megaman, Metal Gear, and some others. Metroid has managed to generate a large and succsesful franchise. And while the gameplay mechanics may have changed in some installments, there is usually a strong emphasys on exploration.

Metroid's challenge lies in the vast laberinthical structure, rather than survival. Finding the necesary objects as well as applying them efficiently in order to further your exploration can prove to be a daunting task. So if you're up to the challenge then by all means give it a try:
