Gameplay is kind fun but too easy, story is awful.

I really enjoyed it. I didn't get most of the complaints I've read about.

i'm playing it right now and damn is it boring.  awful oversimplified combat + crappy level design makes for a very unfun metroid.  skip unless very bored

Maybe he already had the Japanese version.

That's his only excuse.

i did play the japanese version of sin & punishment 2 but i didn't like it... i quit after the water tunnel stage i think...? i guess on-rail shooters aren't my cup of tea

super mario galaxy 2? a lame sequel which recycled so much stuff it would have been an expansion pack if it wasn't a japanese game

now that i think better about it,the last game i enjoyed on the wii was arc rise fantasia which was released in july.....

why are you guys looking at me like that? :cookiem

Horrible. Couldn't even come close to finishing it, it was so bad. First and only Metroid game i've ever sold.

I'm addicted to Sengoku Basara, but that's on the PS3 too.

I really liked it, but it's middle tier Metroid for sure.

Zero Mission > Super > Prime > Prime 3 > Other M > Fusion > Prime 2 > Metroid > II

I don't think it is all that bad, it just doesn't have any redeemable qualities to it.  Actually, you will be a better person for never experiencing the unskippable cutscenes this game has.  Metroid Other M was my Vietnam.

The bad story in Other M didn't bother me at all. It's not like Metroid had a good story or good characters to begin with, so who really cares what they decided to do with it? I just find it odd that people get so up in arms about it.

Because the cutscenes are unskippable and offensively awful? I don't normally care about story in video games either as long as I'm not forced to watch as it unfolds in horror.

That and the entire game just reeks of "meh".

Metroid Other M is a rare flower, like Lords of Shadow.  I expected it to suck.  I expected it to be bad.  But it was worse than I imagined.  I mean, I don't like the Prime games all that much, but I can see the quality in them.  Hunters is just Quake with Metroid skins, but taken as it is, it's pretty good.  But Other M is the first actually lame Metroid game.  Too bad.  The Wii seems to be able to ruin anything if it tries.

Did  you ever get around to Corruption?  It railroads you with an illusion of non-linearity, and there is some lame voicework, but the pacing is good and its still good for a metroid itch. Fantastic art direction in the later worlds too.
