I am ashamed that I was a cheapskate and tried to wait it out until the price dropped more significantly than 20-30%. This game has proven itself to be well worth full price, and I don't think I'm anywhere near finished.

* Controls are razor sharp. Fighing the controls doesn't exist. If something went wrong, it's your fault.
* Environments are weird and wonderful and disquieting and varied without having to resort to Lovecraftian mythos.
* Powerups start out predictable, but then they get interesting. It's good to see there's room for a metroid game with something else in place of the overly-familiar metroid bits.
* The music is a work of art on its own. Do yourself a favor and get the bundle with the soundtrack.
