Another Metroid series game. This one came out in 2002 and is no disappointment. Apparently made in conjunction with Super Metroid (SNES) in which Samus eradicates almost all metroids on planet SR388. Here is the story so far...
Samus has returned to SR388 to research a parasite known as "X". These creatures were once prey for the metroids but with the metroids gone they have grown in number. The X are a gelatinous creature capable of infecting and absorbing the skill, knowledge, and form (including offensive and defensive abilities) to later transform into that very creature! While researching the X Samus is infected by one herself. On their way back to HQ the X inside Samus multiplied in her central nervous system causing her to lose consciousness. Her ship drifted into an asteroid belt and jettisoned the escape pod with samus inside before crashing. Once back to HQ they discovered that the "organic components had become so integrated with her system that it could not be removed while she was unconscious" large parts of it were removed surgically. She was given minimal chance of survival. Then, someone found a cure, a vaccine made from the infant metroid from SR388 (see Super Metroid for details) should neutralize the X inside her. The cure was injected without delay and worked tremendously. Samus, however, had changed. her suit was now the fusion suit (seen above) and an explosion rocked the B.S.L. research facility. Samus went to investigate only to find the infected pieces of her power suit stored there were now gone, the X had also invaded the station. Stripped of most of her powers once more she ventured to recover them and discover what happened to the crew and her power suit, and to eradicate the X if necessary. Later however she discovered a startling question. Was she the hunter? or the hunted?
As I said earlier, a great game you can play over and over again! If you don't want to restart then try to find all of the items. Hours of gameplay in an easy-to-understand format with a rather deep story line.

Lego Star Wars II is pretty much the same as LSW, though it has a few minor differences. For one thing, you can (at least if you have the gamecube version) use the characters from LSW in LSWII Free Play mode. Also, LSWII introduces the gold brick, a brick you cannot get during gameplay but you get from getting things such as True Jedi status in either Free Play or Story Mode. These gold bricks are used to build objects outside and inside the cantina. Such as an infinite stud fountain, or a secret level. The more gold studs you have the more you can unlock! LSWII also brings the custom character. You can save up to two different characters to customise and use in Free Play mode. The more characters you buy/unlock the more parts you can use!
