After hearing about Samus having all her weapons yet not being alowed to use them I thought it might have been a cool addition to the story if she actually did use them and that led to more conflict between her and Adam. It would also support her being independant/more rebel-like. And I'm also excited to see the cut scenes. I like the idea of them being cinamatic.

Of course Miyamoto doesnt like the idea of Other M. It disagrees almost completely with his methdo of making games. It differs to how Nintendo makes games. Why do you think Sakamoto had to go to Team Ninja to make the game? The idea sounded to alien to most Nintendo's devs. But that does not mean this game was a bad idea, if it was it would have been stopped completely.

Not to mention it has Miyamoto's worst nightmare. The main character, who is supposed to be mute, speaks and she totally doesn't sound anything like people imagined she would.

I think he should've just listed to people complaint we're not out to get him lol. the controls seem to be the only complaint in previews and review. maybe he'll list to people next time w/3ds Metroid and any word of prime 4.I agree the games far from back but it seems to have mist the mark w/ lots of reviewers. I will pick this up later for the club Nintendo points and I pickup prime trilogy and the fist game is an 8 right now but I only did 3 percent of the game lol.

the average score really isn't between 6 and 8 anyway, it's between 8 and 9: http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/960554-metroid-other-m/index.... (up another percentage point today? somebody's going places)

So the scores for this game seem to be hovering between 6 and 8, which is fine as far as I'm concerned, as I wouldn't give any other classic style Metroid a higher score than that. Seems about right. :)

I'll pick it up. I don't expect it to replace any of the individual Prime games as my favorite Metroid experience, though.

I consider Super Metroid to be one of the greatest games of all time--if not the greatest. But as for the other classic Metroid games...yeah. About 6-8.

Whoops, my mistake. What I had meant to say was that the reviews I personally have read were hovering between a 6-8. You're right to point out that the average score is actually higher. I stand corrected.

But yeah, an 8+/10 is a darned good score. I know we'd all like to see out favorite franchises score perfect 11s every time, but I think an 8/10 is more than enough reason to expect that you'll enjoy the game, if it appealed to you at all.

Just cancelled my pre-order yesterday, thinking that this game maybe a Big disappointment to me.
and to think I was getting ready for it by playing Super Metroid on VC.

And you Think a Metroid game with Ninja Gaiden gameplay would be cool, if Team Ninja didn't help them self from bring in a little DOA action in to Samus.

Nintendo should have know better then letting there little Bounty Hunter Girl to a Team that like to make Bouncy Volly Ball games

@JumpMad I don't understand the mentality of canceling your preorder, to be honest. It's not getting universally bad reviews--in fact the majority of the reviews have been in the 8-9 range. That's universal acclaim!

to be honest, Kid_A, i don't understand the mentality of preordering when there's going to be an abundance of copies of a game out everywhere, unless you're that hung up on the bonuses. A niche game, sure, because chances are you'll walk into GameStop and they'll just stare at you like you're a moron for asking about (insert game here), but something as big as Other M you'll be able to get everywhere (and probably a bit cheaper at Wal-Mart to boot if you're not into ordering things from the internet). it's not like canceling a pre-order means you'll never be able to buy the game ever, lol; he could very well change his mind once it's out and the general public has had their say about things. :3

of course, Aviator -- non-reviewers, average joes, whatever you'd like to call normal people who won't be getting the game until at least tomorrow :3 I know i'd usually believe my friends before a review on the internet any day.

Yeah, Thanks Dragon! Couldn't say it better myself.
Its not like I'm calling it a bad game, it just I don't have the time and money to really want to get it.
I just got a little discourage to get it now, but I'll put it on hold to get it later, and plus the bonuse didn't Look so cool when i saw what it was.
Its really the only time I pre-order a game, is when it has some type of cool prize like The Coin in SMG1. "you know, more for your buck"
But since I'm not going to get it now, i don't see a point in wasting money.

@JumpMad
The reason I preordered it is because it does come with a cool prize--an art booklet. That's something that might not be enticing to everyone though so I see your reasoning.

In other news, I can not beat Ridley in Super Metroid. I think the problem is I only have 6 energy tanks (and two reserve tanks). I tried leaving to go find more, but the way back is blocked by this room that's completely filled with lava. Is there something I'm missing here?
