i don't think so. samus' pauses after saying "nani?" actually make sense in the japanese version. in english it just sounds like the acting center of her brain got frozen by the blast.

Well, as a game i gotta agree that this wasn't as good as most of the previous outings. The enviroments just weren't interesting enough, and outside the finely polished Samus, the graphics were kind of bland. Some textures were downright horrible.
The thing that bugged me the most, however, was the music. It's either unmemorable or nonexistent, thanks to the fact that Kenji Yamamoto wasn't behind the score this time. This is a major minus for me, since Metroid games have always had awesome soundtracks.
Many people seem to have complained about voice acting, but i found it to be mostly pretty standard, and definitely better than in Prime 3. Why didn't any one complain about that? Also, i liked the way Samus sounded (since that's how i personally always thought she would sound/act.). All in all, i find this title to be worthy of the name "Metroid", but just barely.

I enjoyed the game a lot. Been playing Metroid games since the NES and I thought there was way too much negativity about this game.

Gah, a tor file! And if Other M was a movie it would lose the Oscar to M. Night Shymalan.

Yes, the writing sucked, but Fusion isn't written any better. It's the same drab, melodramatic exposition you find in Other M. There's just less of it in Fusion. It actually bothered me a bit more in Fusion, because at least in Other M it was seamlessly integrated into the gameplay. With Fusion it completely halted the pace of the game.

I won't defend the writing in either game, and I won't defend the voice acting. It's certainly not the worst writing you'll see, nor was it even the worst voice acting of 2010 (Heavy Rain wins that award) but we've come to expect perfection from Metroid, and the fact that Other M wasn't perfect caused people to act out a little more than they otherwise would have.

I just posted an article on my blog on why I disliked the game. I think I discussed at least a couple of areas that haven't been widely covered yet. Some of them have, but I included them for the sake of completion. Anyway, I'd welcome feedback either here or on the blog's comments section. :3

Super Metroid is pure excellence.

So glad Other M delivered when the other Metroid's that came out in the meantime 1995~2009 (Fusion, Prime, Zero Mission) were slightly disappointing.

I'm happy Prime came to an end. Hope the series keeps advancing in Super Metroid's and Other M's footsteps.

I recently noticed the game being shelved for a bargain price of 29 Euros (20 Euros cheaper, as i bought it for 49 Euros) :p

Underrated gem.

With kind regards,

Eh, I liked the game a lot. The gameplay wasn't exactly up to par with the rest of the series, but I thought the story was well-written, the cinematography was alright, and the voice acting was good. Nothing that blew me away, really, but it was still a really good game.

Yes nothing like a poorly written story where Samus is turned into the whiny hero we never dreamed of seeing, followed by weak voice acting, clunky first person and third person action, dull setting, poor weapon upgrades, and Not-so-satisfying boss fights. Did I mention 100%ing this game is as easy as singing the alphabet?

ok, unnecessary debates aside, there is no universe in which Other M is "well-written".

Playing through Fusion again (which is basically the same game at times) makes this obvious. Samus doesn't go that extra step into obsession with Adam, the difficulty surviving until you get the Varia suit in an area is because of the surprising intelligence of the enemy rather than the stupidity of the hero and CO and they don't take 10 minutes to say what should take 2.

I really like the game, too. The gameplay is excellent. (The original poster of that locked thread didn't give it enough of a try, since you barely get to do anything by the third cutscene). The story, while poorly written, is still very interesting with good voice acting, and Samus's character is actually pretty consistent with her actions in Metroid 2 and Super Metroid, and especially consistent with Metroid Fusion. She's never been a cold, emotionless killer, and she came off more realistic than whiny. [Adam in Metroid Fusion is still just a computer, not the real person who was her closest friend (if not more).] Yes, waiting for the defensive upgrades made no sense story-wise, but do you really want to walk through the whole game with them active?
