I've got it, and I'm having a great time with it. It has some fun boss fights and it's not too difficult. My game clock says 3:55, (I think I'm about halfway in now) and I've only died once. So I was wondering, is Fusion easier than the previous installments, or were the first three games a bit overrated on the difficulty scale?
edit: One tip Tom forgot to mention: as with Golden Sun, please use headphones when playing this game. The music is just *so* much better that way.

The Afterburner kit doesn't wash out the colours too badly...put it this way, it's a HELL of a lot better than trying desperately to find an overhead light source so you can actually see the games (currently the only place I get a good picture without the afterburner kit is in my kitchen under a big fat strip light..)
And the Afterburner kit doesn't really sap the batteries that much noticeably..until they do an official kit this is as good as it gets... Peej |

Blerk, if you reconsider, you might find this an interesting offer.
They sell GBA's with Afterburner pre-installed for £84.99, or if you already have one, you can send them your GBA and they'll install it for you for £15 plus the price of the light. They also have a dimmer chip so you can get whatever light intensity you want. I'd say go for it! I don't really believe those 'new GBA' rumours anyway. ;) edit: spelink and lousy html

I haven't played too much Metroid Fusion, BUT I LOVE IT. I would give have given it a 10/10, actually. I made a new rule for myself-- don't buy new games until you've beaten the ones you've got. I'm currently working on Golden Sun for GBA, which if you've played it then you know it is one sweet ass RPG. One of my favorite RPG's of all time, even.

The Afterburner kit is functional, but no substitute for a good light source and tilting. My main gripe is that the colours lack any intensity and end up looking kind of weak. the kit also would've benefited with lots of anti reflective film, because the GBA really needs this stuff on the main screen protector. I ripped mine off to have a peep of the LCD with anti reflective film applied and any glaring lights get significantly muted to a discreet dark red-ish colour. It made the colours look freakin' amazing.

"don't buy new games until you've beaten the ones you've got"
I need to take this philosophy on. At the moment I'm whoring myself out to Halo, GTA VC, the impossible Stuntman, Medal of Honour...then Splinter Cell will be out on friday. DOH! I need a week off to catch up! I really seriously need some quality gaming time over the christmas break. Shame I'm not going to get it though! Peej |

[trowel] - 26-Nov-2002
this time next week I'll be on a beach in Thailand with Metroid Prime. Doesn't get much better... [Westy] - 26-Nov-2002 Where will you plug the Gamecube in if you're on the beach? Theres some quite shiny LCD screens and battery kits for the cube, and lets face it, as a portable system goes, a cube aint a million miles off the size of the original atari lynx ;) |

anyone else think this is just an easier, more linear and CO directed, version of the SNES games that seems too similar to Castlevania Advance - or whatever it was called (that I didn't buy) for me to buy?
