Talk about your lump of coal.

@sophistifunk: Really that bad?

It wasn't great, but I wouldn't call it a lump of coal

Too much story for a Metroid game, and the gameplay is average at best

Still worth way more that 4.99, though

The gameplay wasn't that bad, but the story was an insult to Samus throughout the whole game, but for $5 totally worth a shot.

@1298ty: I agree. Fine gameplay, horrible story.

I'd advise anyone that actually likes the character of Samus to stay away. It's just shameful, and possibly more scarring then the gameplay is worth.

fun game, just ignore the storyline...totally agree with everyone else on that. Getting one to throw in my old man's stocking, certainly more than 5$ in value here.

I actually liked the gameplay of this game. Very nostalgic to my highschool days playing Super Metroid.

I liked this game a lot. Definately worth well more than $5.

great game, the story picked up on the only metroid story to date more engaging than "oh thats what i gotta kill? ...meh ok..." I paid full price for this and don't regret it one bit.

I've been waiting for this to go under 20.00, so this is fantastic. I'm a fan of the whole Metroid series and love the GBA and Super Metroid formats the best. Here's to hoping this will be as great as I anticipate.

So is this comparable to Super Metroid or not? Because that's my favorite Metroid game.

@stark: No it's not. It takes place right after Super Metroid storyline-wise, but the controls are something between 2D and 3D. Like...you run 2D in a 3D area most of the time. The controls aren't that fine tuned because it uses the Wiimote only. I've noticed my shots 'seeking' to compensate for this. And you have to go into first person mode(a la Metroid Prime) to fire missles, but you can't move in that mode other then looking and firing.

Shinesparking is a lot of fun though, if memory serves...

@silentlegend: I agree. The graphics and "Let's dig deeper into Samus herself" storyline were good. I didn't finish it, but I'd put it into the "maybe I'll replay this one day" pile. The only bad thing was the voice acting. So, so terrible.

Dead!

I found the storyline to be somewhat demeaning of Samus (e.g. Your former boss forbids you to use some weapons, and Samus obeys even when they would be useful). It made me feel like I was playing a scared girl, instead of a badass bounty hunter.

The gameplay itself was "OK", but not particularly similar to any of the other Metroids I've played. Definitely didn't get a Super Metroid vibe.

All that notwithstanding, $5 is a good price to give it a try for. Personal preferences differ. I'm sure this game has people that love it (somewhere).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
