There were some obscenely frustrating parts, but I thought overall it was still worth playing.

I got the game on steam and I loved it from beginning to end. Now the idea of implementing the walljump in Metroid a la mirror's edge is great.  I can't believe I didn't think about that. Still, I don't really hate the Metroid Prime method, the only problem was the game loved pointing out the obvious surfaces, you should really be able to use it in any facing surfaces that are somewhat flat.

Actually, I loved the power so much that I overused it a lot specially in boss battles, and against emperor ing it was pretty amazing, sometimes you collided with the emperor in the right angle which made samus bounce dramatically, almost touching the ceiling, it was pretty epic.

I'm happy to hear someone understood its use.

That's one of the things that bugged me about it, too. How organic can a Metroid game be when it not only seriously limits where you may use a sweet ability, but makes it dead obvious where those few places are? Hopping around open spaces and murdering enemies with it is a start to implementing a satisfying level of freedom, but it could've gone so much further.

Wow, I've got to try that.

I used the Screw Attack in combat all the time in Echoes.  It's invaluable against Emperor Ing, as mantidor said.  Not only does it make you invincible while using it, but if you get lucky and make contact with the boss, he will take a TON of damage.

I also used Screw Attack often against the Rezbit enemies.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.
