Pretty self explanatory. Which one do you think is better and Why?

Metroid: Other M is a great game, but I prefer Prime because his lonely atmosphere, bigger levels and superb music.

Metroid Prime. Environments are much more open, gaining powerups is more rewarding, greater length (any of them), art direction.
Nonetheless, Other M is sitll a great game. Just missing some of the classic Metroid exploration.

Prime hands down. Other M had its moments, but there were only two of them; the rest of that game consisted of suck. Prime on the other hand blew me away the first time I played it, and every time after that.

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!

Which one do I think is better? Well undoubtedly Metroid Prime. One of the greatest games of all time. Perfect 10. I would say that Other M is more fun, though.

I prefer Other M. It has more action, in my opinion. Not to mention the story and cut-scenes are done extremely well.

Prime > Other M, but then again, Prime is an absolute masterpiece and made me fall in love with Metroid, and they're both really good, so...

Prime by a landslide. Other M was easily the worst Metroid game IMO. It looked like Metroid, but didn't feel like it.

Prime>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Other M. I agree with ReddLionz, except for that I think Other M isn't quite worthy of the title great, but instead good. Also, I thought Prime had a way better story than Other M. Reading the exploits of the Pirates(anyone remember the one about them attempting to duplicate the morph ball?) through logs allowed for much more information, and the demise of the Chozo was interesting too. Other M's story was ok, but was basically Fusion retold by the voice of Samus Robot Aran.

Hard to say. I really enjoyed Prime, but I'm not crazy about the Wii controls. Other M was great, but I felt like it was lacking something. I'm going to try to track down a cheap copy of Prime for the GCN and see how that compares.

yes. do. PRime 1 is about $2 at Gamestop now, which is an absolute steal

if you're talking about prime alone, i'd take other m. but if you're talking about the whole metroid trilogy, it wins. it wins against pretty much anything.

Prime 3 is the best

I could never force myself to play more than 1 hour of Prime.
Metroid Other M on the other hand is really action-packed and it's hard for me to stop playing it.

Just to clarify, I was referring to Prime 1 in MPT. I actually almost hate Prime 3. Prime 1 had an amazing atmosphere and sense of loneliness, whereas Prime 3 seemed like it was trying too hard with the story. Also I couldn't stand most of its environments.

But I like Prime too.
Did't think it was possble to make a bad Metroid game, but Ninja Team did it

For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

I'll second that. I loved the original Prime, but the 2 sequels seemed forced.
Anywho, Metroid Prime is IMO the next best Metroid game to Super Metroid. Other M was a great game, though not as awesome as Prime or Super Metroid.
