Fusion is second only to Super in my mind. Yeah I hated the 'go here Samus lol' aspect of it, but there were obstacles. Often he just told me to go someplace and there would be a problem along the way, I'd have to sidetrack and improvise. Not on the level of Super maybe, but it was enough. And just about everything else to do with the games atmosphere and setting was great. Nightmare before Other M ruined him was amazing, the security robot was amazing, the station being dark and spooky, going into the underbelly of the station and fighting that spider thing...
I can't praise Fusion enough, really. The only problems I had with it, Other M took and magnified by a zillion.
And no one gets to tell me that Samus didn't have character until Fusion. It's almost mind-boggling how much story was in Super Metroid and it's a pet peeve of mine when people say 'lol no story'. You're morons if you honestly think that. How much was told without saying anything at all? Ridley stealing the Metroid, the Tourian statue, the wrecked ship and the story of its downfall, Maridia and Draygon, the final sequence with Mother Brain and the baby Metroid until Other M ruined it... there was so much story. But you guys saying this tend to like Other M so I'm not shocked at all that you missed it.
