Can we please just let this die? Some people out there (like me) enjoyed the game and while it did have it's flaws, it's very frustrating for fans of the series as a whole to see all of the negative hype it's accrued based on a few overly emotional cutscenes. It makes me fear for the future of Metroid; don't be surprised if we don't see a new game till 2016 or later now.
@Mully: I, too, wish that this pointless debate would just die off, but clearly people just can't agree to disagree. Some loved this game and some hated it, let's just leave it at that. I'm sure the next game in the series will most likely play it safe, since that's what always happens after Nintendo releases an experimental game, only to have the "fans" toss it back in their faces...
@pixelman: Other M is the latest game in the series to be released, but it isn't the latest in the timeline, that would be Metroid Fusion...
"Don't make enemies, they'll stab your heart; don't make friends, they'll stab your back. Including me, including you, all men are trash. Don't love; don't be loved. Have nothing to do with other; live in isolation."
@Gamesake: I guess I can live with that. It would've been nice if the game emphasized that (hell I don't even think it mentioned it), but oh well. It's not like the game was well-made or anything. :3
@Straw: Oh right, for some reason I had it in my head that Fusion was right before Other M, but it's the other way around. D'oh. Still, all of the other games in the series precede it chronologically... Which are a lot.
@kkslider: Yeah, I'm hoping Nintendo will forget Other M and future Metroid games will be after Fusion. :3
I salute anyone who has managed to get through this entire game without going insane from boredom...
I mean I really am trying to get into this game. I've never had the chance to play a metroid game before this one I'm at the Snow place and was just wondering, does the story become more i don't now, interesting?
Sorry bonesy91 the story is flat and boring the whole way through. And I'm sorry this was your first Metroid experience, it's the worst title to represent the series. You would've been much better off with the NES original. Or with my recommendation of Super Metroid, which I believe to be the best in the series. Both are available on VC. For me the 3D aspect completely ruins the original gameplay and feeling of exploration that the series was known for. If you want to try out a title for the first time, your most likely better off with the originals.

Sorry, but I will blame modernisations in the gaming world for destroying gameplay. Immersion no longer feels like an achievement, it's just more immersive. And as for nostalgia, it's one of the biggest reasons why games even get additional entries into their series.

Please don't describe things anymore.
If you can word it better, then more power to you buddy. I'm going to keep describing how I feel, to the best of my abilities. Sorry about your luck, it's too bad and so sad.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is not a Metroid game, it's just some first person shooter. I agree that Other M is a million times better. But what can I do, I love all Metroid games - it's just that Super Metroid and Other M are so brilliant compared to the rest.
The only reason I gave Metroid Prime Trilogy a 10/10 is because it's three 9/10 games combined. Other M solely on its own is a 10/10, just like Super Metroid.

The cutscenes are only part of what's eating at people. Other M was very short, super linear (discourages exploration), and others have voiced hating lethal strike and not being able to fire missiles in third person. On top of that it also has a game ending glitch (that's a problem).

Metroid Prime isn't a FPS it's a first person platformer. You jump as much as you shoot, and you don't even have to aim--sounds like old Metroid to me.

Metroid Prime is the most flawless transition to 3D I've ever seen in a video game, and that's a huge accomplishment considering how much of a masterpiece Super Metroid was. More than anything else, Other M is a button-mashing shoot 'em up that happens to take place in the Metroid universe.
