ANYhow... I have good news from Gamespot!
The game is definitely not as linear as Fusion, and the so-called "Hand-holding" bits simply involves the Chozo statues pointing out where you need to go on the map. Now I'd rather they didn't do that, but it's not nearly as bad as it was in Fusion. So that's a huge relief. Also, there are three difficulty settings which greatly adds to the replay value of the game.
And 16 days left!!
