This is my review of the MP2 box.
Initially the box is a standard affair, black rectangle, opens like a book, has a thingy inside to clip the disc on etc. But the similarities stop [roughly] there. Cast a quick eye across the front of the box and you'll notice something; this box is different, this box is new, this box is the future, this box is EXTREME TO THE MAX!!
Why so amazing? It's holographic! The front features a large picture of Samus looking awesome, with a big faded-into-the-background picture of a Chozo. The background is all shiny, as is the game title and logo. The back holds yet further treats; pictures of two new aliens, some screenshots and even more awesome holographic shinyness. Also while looking at it from any number of different angles, you can witness stunning blanketed rainbows eminating from the silky surface.
In summary then:
Strengths
- Holographic!
- Shiny!
- Awesome 'new box' smell
- Easy to remove wrapping
- Fantastic artwork
- Rainbows!!!!
- Writing on back in English and French (Canadian box)
- SHINY SHINY SHINY!!!
Weaknesses
NONE!
I give this box 10/10.
umm..review of the game like, later or something...whatever.

Looks like it's selling worse than I expected.. Yeh, it's a hardcore gamer's game. And it's only on Cube. But 33?

I was just thinking 'I'll go save now' when I walked into a room with two tanks of energy.
How was I supposed to know it was a boss room? So I got runched in the ass by Dark Samus, although I did get her down to the last half cm of her health bar.

Because you don't have the NTSC version.

my box aint shiny!?
If I die, I just rewind time and start all overagain.
Unfortunately my TR (Time recorder) broke at teh end of one of my games, and thus I couldn't fix it.

like you're good enough to get to the final boss of ANY game without dying, munn.
Here's a tip by the way, never try and completeone of those longer games without saving at all - just for fun - because it's a right bas' when you die on the final boss.
It really is.
It really is.
oh also, did anyone else notice that your health regenerates when you're inside a light crystal's protective orb? Very very very useful this is.
gerrid's tip - save more often.
You shouldn't have been so weak.
Put up a fight next time eh?
