Did I mention I detest stealth games?
And that I have a special loathing for stealth in a game which doesn’t really need it?
People buying Metroid games are buying them because they expect a lot of running around blowing stuff up. They don’t expect to be buying a hiding simulator.
Seethe.
MOTHER BRAIN DEFEAT0RED!
About two seconds after I sent a spleen venting email to DeKay, I gave it another go and turned that doggone brain into spongey morsels. Immediately following this is a rather tense dash up a vertical arrangment of collapsing platforms. This latter is done against the clock with much booming and shaking and BIG NUMBERS COUNTING DOWN.
Fortunately, all went well and I reached what is effectively the end of the Metroid bit (the second half of the game is based on Super Metroid I think). So, there I was, basking in TEH VICTORY when NO! Pirates! Aaargh! They’ve stolen my power suit(?)! I AM NAKED AND ALONE!
It would seem.
Ho hum. So now I’d better get down to infiltrating that Space Pirate ship and nick back all my hard earned goodies.
There’s been a stylesheet bloodbath!
I’ll fix it guv!
Honest!
NeYaaaaargh!
Mother Brain is a dirty great pulsating GIT. If I’m not being knocked into the lava I’m being flattened by her Gaze Of Death. I suspect I’m not using the screw attack to best advantage.
FAIL. Must Try Harder.
