| METROID'S RED-HEADED STEPCHILD |

 n Scurge: Hive, players adopt the role of female space bounty hunter Samus Ar... I mean Jenosa Arma, along with her prototype battle suit that has the ability to integrate new weapons into its design. As it happens, Scurge desperately tries to be Metroid, but with an isometric view. While I can’t condone the blatant copy of concept, the game itself ends up being a lot of fun, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. A huge world with lots of enemy types, power-ups galore, and intense action is complemented by some stylized, cartoony graphics and toe-tapping old-school music. The only big frustration is the eight directional shooting, which never seems to nail your target the way you’d like. I’ll take 2D over this isometric stuff any day, but Scurge gave me lots of reasons to forget my preference.
