[Hard Mode, 100% Upgrades] Remember I mentioned that there were 2 things that bothered me in this remake, yeah... THIS is one of them. I'm sorry, for all you Zero Suit fans, but I'm NOT a fan of this Samus, in fact it looks more like something that should be in the ill-fated Starcraft Ghost Project. This segment alone is a major reason why I enjoy Armored Samus more than Zero-Suit Samus; but, she proved popular enough to appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Personally, it would've been better to add another Metroid, NON-Samus character rather than Zero-Suit Samus. It feels like adding Sheik as a new Legend of Zelda char, it comes off as lazy and uninventive for seeing the potential an entire franchise has spanned for so long (DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE STAR FOX CHARS...). Really Ridley SHOULD'VE been in the roster, I felt he had more potential than Zero-Suit Samus and size really shouldn't have been an issue with him seeing as how both Bowser and Ganondorf are suppose to be p! retty big themselves, but are shrunken down considerably. Anyways, sorry for going off on a tangent... This still feels way too out of place for a Metroid game, and I felt it didn't do a whole lot for me. Obviously it derives influence from stealth games like Metal Gear, but really it ushers itself like a completely different game. Perhaps that was the intent (which in honesty, I do acknowledge the logistics to change the game flow a bit), but I really enjoyed the adventuring that classic Samus endured
