    Excellent game, held off from this game due to the mixed reviews, however after now playing prime 3 and corruption I can say that Other M is the better of the two and remains very much faithful to the original gameplay of Metroid whilst introducing a new modern style, gameplay and story elements which feel grown up and mature compared to many other Wii and Nintendo titles.

I believe that many people could not look past the character advancements and changes to Samus from previous games, however the game is intentionally an evolution and coming of age tale of Samus which in fact very much makes sense from a series perspective and is absolutely necessary to understand more about the character. I personally believe that metroid prime tainted the series style, however, looking at the two now in comparison, the controls and gameplay of Other M have aged far better than the cluttered and invasive controls of the nunchuk and wiimote setup of corruption. I am very happy with this game and as somebody who played the original metroid upon release I can say that the series has progressed in a positive way reimagining those corridors and alien invested ships and planets in a way which would be expected on a modern day console and is perhaps one of the best looking games on the Wii. The gameplay elements are fun and with a very decent level of challenge, and the controls work very smoothly and compliment the gameplay rather than hinder your enjoyment. Excellent game overall and would recommend picking up a Wii again for games of this quality.… Expand

    Holy s**t this game is bad. The narrative and writing are utter trash, Samus Aran gets demoted from a badass, independent bounty hunter to an over-sensitive, baby-crazy, immature girl with daddy issues that's afraid of using powers she already has and that could greatly help her and her mission if they don't get arbitrarily authorized by some dude she doesn't even work for anymore; theHoly s**t this game is bad.

    I have sometimes seen the cope from people that while this isn't a good Metroid game, it's supposedly still a fun 3D Action game. To which I say: Are you out of your mind? Have you ever even played another 3D Action game in your life? Even Ratchet on the f**king PS2 blows this out of the water by a country mile.    … Expand

The game doesn't understand "show, don't tell". Instead, the game feels the need to overexplain things through Samus' inner monologue. Furthermore, the character of Samus in this game does not match at all with her character from the other games. This character could have maybe worked better as an origin story, but this game is supposed to take place close to the end of the timeline.

    On the other hand, the gameplay is at least not that bad. The game is incredibly linear, even when compared to more linear Metroid games, the camera is locked, and the controls are extremely clunky and were probably made by the same people who made the n64 controller. Despite that, there were moments when I thought the game was entertaining, particularly with some boss fights, although I would rather have the gameplay of any other mainline Metroid/Metroid prime game. Furthermore, the game didn't have any major bugs, and the visuals of the prerendered cutscenes looked good.    … Expand

    I played this game when it was released and I remember enjoying it I was around 16 I think. The controls were good when I got used to them and despite many people disliking the story I did enjoy it at the time. I still have this game and will probably play it again soon.

    The story sucks, Samus' character isn't even right, gameplay is fine though. It's not awful, but does have a lot of issues with it (cringe cutscenes, meh voice direction, graphics aren't that great, etc) but not the worst game ever, although I still wouldn't say it is good either

    Atrocious dialog, bad combat and inherits the worst aspects of Fusion.
    And on top of that it doesn't even matter if you play it, because it just rehashes old plot and characters, literally there is no point on playing it.

    My very first Metroid, and I think that it's a fine game. I like the 3D environment, platforming, challenging gameplay, and focus on the story. I also like how Samus has personality, and talks, which makes her a decent character, instead of a boring silent protagonist.

    Controlling SAmus in Other M is like trying to jugle and jerk off at the same time, just don't work..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually was hoping to enjoy this game more than other fans do, as I'm admittedly fairly easily entertained. I'd always heard that the story was bad, but that the gameplay was actually pretty good. Once I got to play it for myself, I'd find out that that was a total lie. The story was indeed pretty bad, but the controls were some of the worst controls I've ever had the displeasure of using in a videogame. I could forgive the subpar gameplay, though, if the story was good. Unfortunately, it's just sort of a rehash of Fusion that takes place directly before Fusion, making Samus retroactively look like a bit of an idiot in Fusion when she's surprised by the same things that happened in this game. It also feels weird now knowing that Adam only died immediately before Fusion, making things much more awkward when she turns right around and names her ship's AI "Adam", only for it to turn out to actually BE Adam. Technically speaking, the visuals of Other M are very impressive for the Wii, but the actual aesthetics and designs of characters leave something to be desired. The music was very lackluster, as well. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone, let alone another Metroid fan.… Expand

    finally a Metroid game where they explain the story with cinematics, so it is much easier to understand the story and that apart it makes it more interesting from the point of view. Its gameplay can divide the community but for someone who likes three dimensions it will be a great experience to play.

    Metroid other M is a metroid that has greatly divided fans and will continue to divide over time. However, does a game that doesn't give the fans what they expect make it a bad game ? For me the answer is obviously no.

However, does a game that doesn't give the fans what they expect make it a bad game ? For me the answer is obviously no.

    Other M is part of Nintendo's attempt to renew the license, to bring a whole new dimension to it, whether in terms of narration or gameplay, after the success of Metroid Prime. It is therefore extremely confusing to take in hand this game after having played the primes because this last one takes back much more codes of the 2D opuses. It is more linear, less rotor and offers a much more nervous and dynamic gameplay. We are facing a metroid oriented as an action game.

    In my eyes, this attempt is a success : Samus is handled very well, the gameplay works perfectly : the fights have never been so fluid where the previous opuses (whether 2D or Prime) offered confrontations that were sometimes too soft. The level design is not outdone, it is certainly less labyrinthine but the station on which the events of the game take place offers a very interesting maze to go through tinged with a sinister atmosphere proper to this saga. The bosses are not the most outstanding of the series but Other M offers memorable confrontations with some unexpected surprises.

    As far as the story is concerned, the developers chose to focus on Samus' story. For me this is not a betrayal of the character, because in this game we play a traumatized Samus following the events of Super Metroid and I think it's a very good choice because we explore facets that were unexploited even though we knew about their existence since Metroid fusion. Unfortunately, some parts of the game are a bit painful, with Samus talking too much sometimes and the plot taking too long to set up some interesting issues. The story itself is not too bad, a bit cliché from time to time but overall it is quite good.

    On the other hand, apart from Adam and Anthony, the rest of the characters are as uninteresting as possible and absolutely not developed, it's a pity because their deaths have no impact on the player or on the story, but I must say that the traitor who eliminates the traces of the team as we go along participates in the oppressive atmosphere of the game which is quite successful.

    On the technical level, the game is one of the most beautiful of the Wii, there was a very good job done especially during the cinematics, we regret the colors too dull on the whole game. As far as the OST is concerned, it's a bit of a black spot, I must say, very few striking themes (I'll say globally the one of Ridley, of the end boss, the two musics of the title screen and finally the one of the epilogue), we are far from the rest of the series on this point.

    In conclusion: an unloved game but nevertheless an excellent action/adventure game and a very good Metroid despite everything. The ninja team brought a new breath to the series with a more agile Samus than ever, the gameplay is very good, the level design is also successful, in short we only regret a scenario and characters poorly mastered, which will however have allowed to flesh out the lore and history of Samus. No, Metroid other M is not a bad game, no it is not the shame of the series and I hope that one day, the fans of this mythical saga still skeptical will give it a second chance.    … Expand

I think it's actually pretty cool to try an innovative control system by having the player switch between sideways mode and pointer mode. Even if the idea didn't end up being so good, I like experimentation for the sake of experimentation. And the story starts out great by recreating the classic ending of Super Metroid in glorious 3D. Indeed, throughout the game Team Ninja pays homage to other Metroid games so it's clear Other M was made by true fans. The real problem with the game is the horrendous mistreatment of Samus's character. They took the most badass independent woman in the universe and transformed her into a delicate sobbing flower with "daddy issues." All Metroid games have to come up with some reason Samus doesn't start out with all her powers from the last game, and in this game the reason is that she's not "authorized" to use them. Samus should have given Adam the finger when he demanded that she follow orders. She was there as an independent bounty hunter answering a distress signal and she can do what she wants.… Expand

    Other M is quite the controversial title, and it's very easy to see why. In an attempt to bridge the gap between the classic 2D games and the 3D Prime games, this was Nintendo's result.

In an attempt to bridge the gap between the classic 2D games and the 3D Prime games, this was Nintendo's result. The game brings a very fresh take on how to control and interact in a third-person, locked-camera setup. You trek through the very detailed and diverse ship the game takes place in, and use first-person to get new perspectives, and target specific enemies, all which is achieved by a single WiiMote. You tilt the remote sideways for the main third-person action, and then point the remote to take on a first-person view, much like the Primes. It would be difficult for any other company to make this transition responsive and snappy, but Nintendo have once again hit it out of the park. The transition is near instantaneous, and there is never a time when you unintentionally switch views. Very impressive.

    However, as one could imagine, it's quite tricky controlling Samus in a 3D environment with a d-pad. During my play sessions, I'd often have flashbacks of playing the Crash Bandicoot games. It feels similar to that, however having a true d-pad instead of four segmented directional buttons does help. The game leans heavily into the linear side in order to accommodate its more focused narrative. While some might suspect it detracts from the experience, I suggest that it was necessary in order for them to tell the story they were wanting to tell.

    Samus is the most versatile and flexible she has ever been, with top-notch animation that really sells the impact of her heavy-duty Chozo armor. The spectacle comes to a head when fighting bosses, of which this game absolutely excells at. Each boss makes great use of changing perspectives, Samus new and handy dodge mechanic, and the combination of all of her weapons and gadgets. There is not a single boss fight in this game that feels wasted.

    Music, while most just providing atmosphere, is very effective. It establishes this sense of dread and eeriness, and it sends chills down my spine when in combination with the visuals.

    The story gives an in-depth look at Samus Aran's psyche. What makes such an awesome, powerful, galaxy-saving bounty hunter tick? Throughout the game's narrative, we get glimpses of Samus' past. What she was like even before she was a freelance bounty hunter. I was continually invested in learning more about Samus, in part due to Jessica Erin Martin's performance. She had a tough task voicing Samus' more reserved thoughts while also driving the emotion behind certain scenes. Samus harldy ever speaks to other characters, but when she does, Jessica's range truly shines.

    The story takes some very big risks at the tail-end of the narrative. While I cannot say I thought the risks paid off, I was invested in Samus' character enough to still enjoy it.

    While I do not think absolutely everyone will enjoy this outing in the Metroid series, I can say with confidence that it absolutely exudes that Nintendo polish throughout the entire playtime. If you don't mind venturing down this more experimental path in the Metroid series, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised, as I was.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally got to nearly complete Metroid Other M. In this journey of living to the fullest every Metroid entry Nintendo has released I have arrived to the infamous of the bunch 'Metroid: Other M', and I am here to share my out of the ordinary adventure I had with this videogame. This entry Yoshio Sakamoto gave us ten years ago was made in high hopes with the vision of making a heavily story-driven 'Metroid' game that could be seen as a movie but the end results of a big half of this game didn't quite met Sakamoto's expectations. An anticipated game that achieved bad executions, one of the first complaints was all over the changes to our beloved protagonist Samus. Though her voice actor did a good job, the narrative for this game was what made it feel very off, which made many fans dislike the story just by that part on it's own. This was the first time Samus, the mostly silent protagonist, was given a full fledged voice throughout whole Metroid game. Furthermore, playing this game can be fun and action-packed (a rarely expressed opinion in comparison to the general public) all in a 2.5D perspective for the most part, while also having a very linear story unlike most Metroid games which don't give you objectives and set you off by yourself to explore. This game does contain "Metroidvania" elements but doesn't exactly feel like a proper Metroid game as a whole. In addition, some new combat techniques were introduced and show off satisfying animations (which was further improved in the remake 'Metroid: Samus Returns'). Hatred & jokes towards the game can be seen nearly everywhere in the internet when the game is being the topic, initially coming because of the way the protagonist Samus & her relationship with her ex-commander Adam Malkovich are portrayed. This story also lays out various major plot points which contradict most games before it, for this reason alone, many fans of the franchise disliked such game by how much we are used to having the games with expansive stories that connect together and form a massive timeline. Though there are a few things that can be given deep looks and realize that a portion of the plot points shown can fill in gaps near the end of the "canon" timeline, making it considered to be taking place before the chronologically latest installment 'Metroid: Fusion'. Nonetheless, the game essentially wrote itself out of being canon due to refuting key points shown which ignore most of the events in the past, especially the character development getting controversially retconned every now and then. Thus, this 5-8 hours game can be enjoyed though it's for the better to have low expectations in the story; on the contrary, the gameplay rarely comes close in becoming tedious, meanwhile there are also save points in several nearby spots to help you on the way. And that's not all, the game provides you a quick but challenging post game where you finish off what's left of the story and you are given the freedom to explore and collect your missed items before heading to the main objective, after this you officially finish the game and the results screen show up as most games from the series.

    In conclusion, this game took the formula of Metroid into a different route and brought new ideas to the table that are great in concept but unfortunately not executed as expected.    … Expand

While its not the best metroid, its no terrible either, gameplay is fine, though it has some issues with the camara on 3rd person mode or being required to be in 1st person to shoot missiles, they could've just used the nunchuck for movement, level design is ok, very similar to fusion, the mechanic of regaining your health, for me, is a very welcome adittion, so far the game looks ok, but the problem with the game comes with the story, first, the plot with Samus not using her abilities is the most unmetroidy thing in the plot, the overwhelming amount of dialogue is also something a metroid game would never do, and the huge amount of cinematics did not made me empathise more with Samus, it just made me want to skip the cinematics (which you can't) and go back to playing the game, these are all issues that could have been fixed easily, just remove most cinematics, remove some dialogue and rewrite the whole plot, either way, the plot suffers a lot with the "we wanted to make Samus a more human character" which was not nescesary, bosses are fine, though some like the nest thing are just normal enemies, bosses like Ridley are great, i'd say this game has the 2nd best ridley fight in the series, but minibosses lack a bit of creativity and are rehashed multiple times in the game, and the one that dropped you the seeker missiles was just anoying.
    Overall metroid other m is the worst metroid in the series, (btw federation force is not a metroid) and while it sounds bad, all metroid games are fantastic, and the metroid series has 2 masterpieces in prime and in super metroid, mom is not terrible, fails in trying to tell a better story with cinematics and giving Samus more humanity, but other than that, mom is an ok game    … Expand

    + Certain interesting plot twists

    Experimental by design. It might not always work, but when it does its an experience hard to forget, wearing the Metroid tag with pride with its head held high.

    Team Ninja is not Nintendo. This could be the perfect description for Metroid: Other M, a competent action game that simply lacks the quality and the level of polishing of the "real" Nintendo games.
