I watched my roommate play through it. Perhaps the defining Bad moment for me was, after a rather large plot twist was revealed in a cut scene, the camera zooms in on Samus in a dramatic manner, clearly to convey to the player that Samus is just as surprised as we are.
And then we got a voiceover from Samus: "I was surprised by this revelation."
Among other flaws, the entire game is a lesson in how Showing and Telling is possibly worse than just Telling.
Looking forward to it, carpool or not.
