Nostalgia wants me to rate this game an 8 and the quality of the games that came after it in the series try to convince me to rate it even higher but I won't be tempted. The original Metroid deserves no higher than a 6. It had so many more positives than negatives but the negatives are pretty strong. This game paved the way for the beautiful thing the series became but If we're being completely honest, the original is a 6 at best and that's just facts. The map is horribly redundant and extremely difficult would be a massive understatement. I have to wonder if anyone actually ever beat this game without using the JUSTIN BAILEY code, and even with the code I still have to wonder if anyone really beat it. I surmise this game led to many broken controllers.
