Unfortunately, the story is cheezy and boring. That said, it is a fun game but it is nothing like any previous metroid game except for a few key expections: the style and design are spot on-metroid, you CAN NOT skip cinematics!!! and you absolutely must be perfectly still when firing certain weapons and using certain abilities because they require you to point the remote at the screen to view and "lock-on"(required for missile-fire) This may all sound annoying but it's the basis of the game and so easy my 5-year old is pretty proficient yet it presents serious challenges for my experience level as well, which is why we're playing it together : ) Now most of the game you will be running around in 3rd person mode in a 3d, top down view world which uses unique camera perspectives to switch you between relative 2D and fully 3D environments- your primary weapon has auto-aim otherwise you'd have to enter first-person mode for every enemy encounter.(can't move) so you spend alot of time running and gunning down hallways but never once will you shoot a door to open it : ( you can dodge almost every enemy attack by quick-tapping the d-pad at the precise moment of enemy attack (not very precise, susceptible to button-mashing.) Overall the game is well worth it, a solid title. This game is based on the Ninja Gaiden engine and was developed by the same people.
