Now I know what everyone's been going on and on about. This is one of the most finely tuned and wonderfully crafted gaming experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing. In an era when the word "pacing" didn't really apply to video games, Super Metroid somehow achieved a level of pacing on par with Uncharted 2. And managed to do that in a game that hinged on backtracking through environments you've already seen.
You are constantly finding new items, bosses, upgrades and hidden alcoves. Seriously, I never went more than 10 minutes without a major discovery or victory. And the time in between discoveries was just as exciting with moody music and fantastic level design.
Oh man. What a great game. Review coming in the next couple days or so...
