Metroid Fusion (GBA)

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.
