I'm 3 hours into the game and in Metroid heaven. I love Fusion but man, ZM just blows that game away. It's Super Metroid with the controls and moves of Fusion, and it works wonderfully. I don't like it as much as Super or Prime, but it's every bit as fantastic as I expected it to be. Early on the hintsdo make it pretty easy, but after an hour and a half or so the hints are far less frequent. So while it's not as non-linear as Super, there's still chances to get lost and plenty of freedom to explore. I can't wait to play the game in hard mode. :D
