Metroid Fusion is the fourth (fifth in North America) video game in the Metroid series, and it is the first game to appear on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance portable video game system.
Metroid Fusion represented somewhat of a departure for the series, as it scrapped the nonlinear adventure formula from earlier games and introduced a non-playable computer character to direct the player where to go and what to do there.
It is stated in a timeline in the Metroid Fusion Instruction Manual that the Metroids were actually created by the Chozo to halt the spread of the X-Parasites and that the name "Metroid" is Chozo speak for 'Ultimate Warrior'.

 Metroid Fusion - GameCritics.com
Fusion and Prime are siblings: games that were released together as the two heirs of the Metroid legacy.
The big sister is the GameCube's Metroid Prime, a 3D juggernaut that had been in development since the era of the Nintendo 64, and was consequently one of the most rabidly anticipated games ever.
Metroid Fusion is able to stand on its own as a worthy sequel to the previous games in the series and is a solid addition to any GBA collection, thereby proving its legitimacy outside of the influence of Metroid Prime.

 TeleFragged -Metroid Fusion (GBA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Fusion has much more of a classic Super Metroid feel to it, since it is a side-scroller like the older games.
Metroid Fusion is 100% new, though, with just enough of the classic gameplay combined with a real plot, a cinematic style, new tactics, huge bosses, and several new abilities to use.
Fusion also is plenty bright enough to see on the GBA screen, which is sometimes an issue with the less kid-oriented games.

To keep her alive, Samus undergoes an incredible amount of surgery and is subsequently bound to her new 'Fusion Suit.' Instead of being examined by an intense medical research team, which would be a far more logical course of action, Samus is sent to investigate an abandoned space station where many unusual things have occurred.
Metroid Fusion is very similar to Super Metroid in many respects, it has intense action, numerous weapon upgrades and great boss fights but there is one major difference between the two.
Metroid Fusion is a very linear, directed mission based game whereas Super Metroid is very non-linear and exploratory.

And by defeating these area bosses and absorbing the parasite from within, they'll recover one of the many abilities that Samus lost, from her trademark morphball to enhanced special techniques that are based off of her classic moves.

One thing that sets Metroid Fusion apart from its predecessors is a clearly stated and well-developed storyline, including, for the first time, occasional monologues by Samus herself.

Now that metroids are apparently extinct, the X have rapidly multiplied, and they suddenly pose a grave danger to the universe, much like the metroids once did.
While Metroid Fusion essentially features the open-ended design of its predecessors--Samus gains numerous new abilities over the course of the game, enabling her to access numerous previously unreachable areas--there's so much urgency to the storyline that you'll likely find yourself constantly following the CO's orders without taking the time to explore.
