I'll start this by saying that this game gets SO MUCH love from those who loves it, yet SO MUCH hate from those who hates it. I've heard rumors that one of the main reasons to this is... well... that the main character, Samus was given big breasts and a big rear... -_- Well I dunno if it's true, but that's the reason I added that "sex" marking. Of course I like the game, but there are better "Metroid" games. The game also teaches out one small, yet good message: usually we see male heroes in movies and games, while the females usually does nothing. This is not the case for any Metroid game. Women can be, though you probably don't see it often, just as good as men, if not better. The violence is getting tough. You shoot/ bomb enemies, which ends in a quick splat effect, green or purple. The blood colours the floor and walls sometimes, but it disappears almost instantly. That is not much to worry about, but theres some REALLY CREEPY cutscenes, where you see things such as dead humans with big green injuries or dead half eaten monsters. Oh, and samus only kills the bad guys, and never even hurt another human.
