I think Nintendo made us expect much more than what the final product actually gave us. They aimed too much for the story and too less for the actual gameplay and what's even more sad is the fact that the game doesn't have much of an replay value in my opinion.
After all the hours spent on the Metroid Prime games I expected the story to be about 40 to 50 hours long. With that expectation... I finished the game without even knowing how close to the end I was at the spiral tower thingy. :/
I know most fans hate this game with a passion that fulls a thousand suns, but I really think people (not just fans of the Metroid series, but game fans in general) were ready to bash on this game before it even came out.
@gamefreaksal Yeah, I think that scene with Ridley was just supposed to display her shock at seeing Ridley alive and in organic form again. But the scene was overdone and made it look bad. Samus' voice actor didn't help the situation either.
@Tark204 They should have stuck with Jennifer Hale as Samus' VA (from the Prime trilogy). She has a more alto voice, which lends itself to badasses better. Hale is also a more accomplished actress who's always been good with emotions.
Anyone that gives Other M a bad review are clearly not true fans of the Metroid series, shame on you badies, you're just jealous that you didn't think of it!
why do we incessantly pitch and bitch about who's a "true fan"? there's no such thing, only 'fans' and self-righteous illiterate bastards. you make yourselves look worse than the argument you defend.
Everyone needs to stop bitching over this game. I have played it and its amazing. I enjoyed Samus being more of a person than just a robot. She could speak in Fusion you know? This game does it well with her background and charcter development. And perhaps she got scared shitless when she saw Ridely becauseshe thought he was dead. Before she probably had thisrage inside after seeing her parents killed by him and the space pirates.
@gamefreaksal Hey this is like the 10th time Ridely come back and she never freaked out before that's what people hate and plus he came back as not a robot in Super Metriod even though he was one in the ended of the 3rd Prime game
@sonamyfan666 if you watch the metroid and me video nintendo did, samus never apparantly killed ridely till super metroid. My theory is she had a lot of hate towards ridely since she saw her parents killed by him. After he died she let her guard down and that is why she freaked out cause she thought he was dead.
@gamefreaksal Na I think she did kill him cause why else would he need the cybernetics that he got in Zero Mission and had for the first Prime game and once again he was normal in Prime 3 at the begin and Metal later then normal again in Super Metriod
@LokiV Even more so then Hunters and Return of Samus, I played Metroid Other M and I personaly enjoyed more then all of the Metroid Prime games except the first one which is quite possibly best game in the entire series even more so then Super Metroid.
I think this game is really awesome (talking about gameplay), but I if they wanted to develop the character of Samus in this game, they should have pay attention to the way she was in all previous metroid games (like the prime series and Fusion).
So after playing all those great Metroid Games, we get this. This thing. This Ninja Gaiden meets sci-fi. Oh, and with a main character that is annoying as hell.
@Rokomorro0A Actually I played Spirt Tracks and I found that game to be serveraly lacking as a Zelda game and I personaly enjoyed Metroid Other M way more then both Phantom Hour Glass and Spirit Tracks.
did he just said other m technicall side cant match the artistic side?dude are you kidding me? just look at anything in this game especially water effects and fire and stuff like that this is in the top 5 of the best looking wii games in the technicall side and the art style is incredible as well
The auto aim and invinci-dodge stystem meant that you were easily able to dodge clumsy bosses with dodges in quick succesion, or got clustered by ten smaller enemies, that you couldn't spray to death with charge beam.
Speaking of which, the charge beam is overly emphasised in this game. There is no point in using a missle, when a charge beam that you can fill instantly with a dodge will do the trick.
I liked this game save for one thing: The 3D view.
Whoever overlooked not being able to walk around whilst in the 3D view should have been slapped, because it ruins an otherwise lovely prequel to Metroid Fusion.
"makes as much sense as collecting random weapons like in other games"? Samus' suit is made by the Chozo... In Prime you find weapons and upgrades left by the Chozo. It's not like you're finding random weapons in the middle of nowhere, there IS some explanation how you get more weapons. In Other M Samus has everything already but won't use them until some asshole gives her permission? BULLSHIT. And: I'm all for a little more action but this isn't Ninja Gaiden ffs. Also, cutscenes + Metroid = bad
I still haven't finished this game, they destroyed her character completely with her being sort of a weak willed subordinate, who speaks out her mind way too much.
samus now looks more emotion about baby...I DID NOT KNOW SHE HAVE A BABBY the game looks perfect but u dont thow on us a emotion stuff i did like samus as serious girl whats wrong with that? but anyway im ot sayin samus sux now or anything its still a great hero
samus faces ridley for the over 9000th time has a post traumatic attack hmmmmm..
also whats with that gay authorizations of Samus's abilities. i can see her super destructive attacks but gravity suit, heat shield? how would those possibly be dangerous.
@Ruldolphmaker Its because she's a hired bounty hunter not a vilantage like Batman, the only way adam would have let her in the bottle ship is if she did everything he told her to do, and about the Post Traumatic Attack, although she's face Ridley four times in the past, Ridley has been responsible for a number of traties in her life such as stealing the closet thing she's ever had to a son and horribly murding her parents in front of her.
@Vader3123 that's not the issue here - the issue is that the "personality" they attributed to her went completely against the idea of the strong female warrior they had characterised her with in previous games. if you don't know about it, look up the show extra credits on penny arcade. they did an excellent episode about how simply making a silent protagonist speak does not equal "giving them a personality" as much as it just makes them a facilitator for an exposition dump.
@Vader3123 It's because they totally ruined the image she had made for herself over the years not cause of the personality you see some in Metriod Fusion were she dose not like what the Galactic Federation is doing and intends to put a stop to it but she did not break down when she saw Riddle or easily give into the views of the computer on her ship.
Im not denying that other m is an awesome game, but even after i beat the hella long campaign it just doesnt have the same feel as a regular metroid game.
I don't see the problem with giving Samus a more emotional look. It shows that under that metallic shell that we've come to love, there's a real human being.
I like what they did with Samus, they took a bad ass independent bounty hunter and turned her into an overly emotional needy dumb bitch. Team Ninja, who got their names on the map for Breast Giggle Physics, were definitely the right people to have flesh out the character.
Much better than Xplay's review. Xplay doesn't know sh!t. I enjoyed Other M, and I understood Samus's backstory and why she was. and the story's "holes" aren't holes. They're simply untold parts left for another day. Zelda does it too, but nobody complains about that. Other M was great and is a worthy addition to Metroid.
I liked it quite a bit more than games like Zero Mission and even Prime 2 and 3... It's taken it's place as my third favorite, and I feel that it just is hated for the wrong reasons... a game is bad because the GAME is bad, as in, controls, atmosphere and over all GAME FUCKING PLAY! Gameplay over weighs Samus's bad voice acting, and it over weighs a really unappealing story! I'd give the game a 9 out of 10... I just hope that Nintendo does another game like it... but maybe without Team Ninja...
Dammit, why we can't just shoot metroids and space pirates, explore every nook and cranny in a freaking lost planet, and escape in less than 5 minutes from said planet.
NO they have to hamfist stupid dialogue, cheesy cutscenes and daddy issues and cut bosses, levels, powerups and secrets, really if i wanted to see that there are a lot of movies out there, so sakamoto please retire or continue doing warioware, since that's the only place where your nonsense has place, don't mess with samus again.
exactly my friend, retro studios work is to be admired and if you look at the deleted content of the trilogy you can see how much content they had to cut, while sakamoto can do whatever he wishes without tight deadlines, now let's just hope that they make a metroid sidescroller like super metroid for the 3ds and a prime 4 for wii u, i really want to know what's behind the misterious ship that follows samus at the end of prime 3, sylux?
Retro Studios have crafted three shooter masterpieces that I feel are criminally overlooked. Like where was Corruption when the Best Shooter awards were being handed out?
@hyperbassi Okay I admit Metroid Other M is a terrible metroid game but its far from being a piece of shit, infact its one of the best action games on the wii of 2010. It may be a disgrace as a Metroid game but its still a good game in its own right.
this game looks fun as hell, metroid is good and all but i have never been a fan of games that are just Where the fuck do i go kind of game and that is what metroid is. This games looks more like action game and i like that.
I didnt liek this at all... I thought Metroid was about exploring vast environments on your own and collecting items and etc, not a ninja gaiden combat game... Not a metroid game, wish Retro would take spot on it again. Retro did very well.
The game itself is pretty good, the controls are great and the storyline is good too, difficulty doesn't spike stupidly and the enemies are well-designed; The main problem with this game is the way it portrays Samus.
Since the revelation that Samus is a sexy, blond woman, everyone has liked her because she's no damisel in distress, shes been portrayed as a loner and a berseker, a lady that isn't afraid of blowing up a planet.
But this game just made her a crybaby with a huge Electra complex.
The giving a thumb down and the scene where she defied Adam seemed very palusible since she's always been a rebel and, although cold, she cared for others like the baby and the corrupted hunters, but as the story progressed she became just more and more involved with a guy that she addressed in Fusion to as a random gruff CO. she once served under, to the point of it being a ridiculously fabricated teenage crush.
The lady definitely would have had some objections regarding this portrayal.
I like that the developers kept in mind the mental baggage Samus had been carrying throughout the series and tried to give us a glimpse of her feelings on the baby's death, since the other games made her seem a bit too heartless about it, but Team Ninja forgot Samus' serious and composed personality, her hatred for Ridley (And the fact that she had just fought another reborn version of him in Zebes) and the fact that she doesn't hesitate to kill something as dangerous as a Metroid.
@kztar621 No backstory is better than a bad backstory, no character depth is better than shitty character depth, just sayin.
A character who you know nothing about can be far more bad ass than a character who turns out to be an emo attention whore, a mommy's boy, or a dumb chick with daddy issues
@kztar621 I did hate how she reacted to ridley, but ridley does seem about 3x stronger and alot more menacing in this game. but finally someone has some sense and doesn't just bash the game. other than that, I thought it was a great game even though it would have been better as a full length movie.
@kztar621 I appreciated the direction Team Ninja went with the gameplay elements very much! However, the story was an abomination and completely disgraced the legacy of my favorite video game heroine. Giving Samus maternal feelings for a Metroid was nothing short of sacrilegious, and her bratty behavior and unreasonable compliance with Adam's will was slanderous. She nearly got herself killed several times because Adam didn't give her PERMISSION to defend herself? This is not Samus Aran at all.
@MatthewESims She is the greatest female in video gaming as far as I'm concerned, and I was disturbed at the perversion to her character in this game. Although it is unfortunately considered canon, and thus locked into its history forever, I do not count this. This could not have been perpetrated by any true fan of the Metroid series. Although I do hope they continue to develop the gameplay mechanics; I believe they can take the series to a new level, a la Prime.
Yeah dude! But did you hear about them saying Prime isn't cannon anymore and stuff? I think thats just a rumor but it still unnerving. Some of the best games in the series are not cannon, but the worst one is!? lol I don't know how Sakamoto can fix this other than retconning.
Cause its true. No true Metroid fan would find this abomination good to Samus' character.
@MatthewESims The Japanese have weird character choices.
Keep in mind that Japan is still one of the few countries with a male-dominated mindset. So much so that a considerable minority of their porn has chauvinistic tastes, with men tying down women. Not to judge, but there, women have less power than they do in the States. Feminism isn't as strong in Japan as it is here, so knocking Samus down a couple pegs after years of fan worship of her as a powerful female was expected.
Its sad, but true. They need to get with the program. But as you said, we all should have expected this to happen to Samus. Retro Studios (the one that made the Prime games) is an American company, so they probably didn't think as much on the fact that shes a girl as the Japanese did.
@MatthewESims Prior to playing Other M, my characterization of Samus was a psychopathic, xenophobic, alcoholic bitch who wakes up 2 AM in the morning all tired and groggy and shit, like she drank one too many beers last night and is having a hangover, with an insatiable urge to kill aliens. Then again, that came from me playing Metroid Prime at 3 in the morning.
I think Shes way to calm to be a psycho or xenophobe. Most of us thought she was just the strong silent type. And a bit of the no bullshit personality. Gets the job done, but didn't brag cause she never had to. (We all know what just happened). After Other M ruined that, its a sad end to the series.
@MatthewESims do you honstly belive that Metroid Other M killed the whole franchise just because Samus is now a human being instead of a emotions less killing machie, you haters are crazy, Metroid Other M Is both a decent Metroid game and a great game in its own right.
@kztar621 I know! I would've had her attacking Ridley with a vengeance, nearly killing the beast, Adam ordering her to spare the beast so he can interrogate it, but Samus having lost her family to this monster, she would want to send him back to the hell he belongs, and the player gets to choose whether or not Samus would spare Ridley. I love this game, but there were many missed chances-the Bottle ship should've crashed onto the Federation Capital, creating an amazing doomsday scenario.
@corneliab The games recevied mostly positve and mixed reception not universly negitive reviews. If this wasn't a Metroid game it wouldn't be receving half the amount of hate its getting and if they decided to drop this game from the canon I garentee you it will be looked upon 10 or 5 years form now as a highly underrated game.
2. The whole "if it weren't a Metroid game people would like it more" defense is beyond fucking stupid, since the game is completely entrenched in the Metroid series from both a story and gameplay perspective.
3. Whatever happened to your "masterpiece" bullshit? People will always tout games that they think deserved better as "underrated", but there's no fucking way this game will ever be considered a masterpiece. At least, not by anyone sane.
@corneliab masterpeace no but its still a good game and a decent Metroid game and it will be looked upon five years from now as one of the most underrated games of 2010.
@MrMetroid1998 You are such a fanboy that it's starting to get sad. Just accept the fact that most people (especially longtime metroid fans) don't like this game. They don't share your opinion.
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER I admit Samus Aran's potrail is unacceptable (espically in the scene with Ridley) and the authorization to use abilitys is stupid and I think Metroid Other M should be removed from the canon because its not the Samus we grew up with, but Metroid Other M is still a very good game in its own right, I played it myself and had a lot of fun with the bosses fights, exploration and enemys, Metroid Other M may be a terrible Metroid game but it is far from being a bad game period.
This game may be a let down by Metroid standards but its nowhere near as bad as they say infact its one of the most fun, enjoyable and interesting games on the wii.
i liked other m but the final boss was a bit too easy i know why the cut scenes lasted long. because of metroid other m the movie go to theater mode a hit play all you'll see.
@nintendude4199 Team Ninja were the guys who made Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Vollyball, you know, the softcore porn game for teenage boys too pussy ass to look up real porn. Sufficed to say their view of women is very nuanced and spot on, Samus is a needy dumb bitch with daddy issues now, Team Ninja rocks.
@Laughingblades she did have a character Samus has on a regular basis fucked the space pirates shit up, she storms heavily guarded compounds solo with ease and has working knowledge of explosives and firepower does that sound like a needy, dumb, male approval seeking woman she had an implied character a strong independent person
@nintendude4199 well can u blame her? her entire space colony including her parents on 2kl was slautered by ridley when she was 3. this kinda gives her the right to have few issues
@nintendude4199 she has daddy issueas because they killed her father and mother and then in zebes they killed gray that was like a father to her who the fuck would not have issues if everyone that you love get killed in the most awful ways :/
I'm not saying that she shouldnt have issues, I'm saying that they gave her the wrong issues. Instead of making her a whiny bitch desperate for male approval make her, say, have nagging self-doubt about her lifes choices and the moral implications of being a bounty hunter and the right to genocide an entire species (the metriods for for those who dont know the entire storyline) and have that emotional baggage play out. not just blah blah blah baby metroid blah blah blah ridley
@nintendude4199 Exactly. I'm afraid this game was a series killer. The IGN and Gamespot reviews are awfully lenient compared to the average reactions to the game. They never even mentioned pixel hunts.
@exactspace I highly doubt this game is a series killer, but it is going to be a LONG time before we hear of another Metroid game. Almost ironically this game would be much better if Samus never spoke and if Nintendo stuck to the losing her powers cliche instead of "authorization". If I were an optimist I would hope Nintendo learned from this mistake and develop Samus in a respectable manner or better yet keep her silent, but then again since when has nintendo learned from their mistakes
@nintendude4199 I heard there makeing a Metroid game for the Wii-u and seriously as dissapointing as Metroid Other M was I seriously doubt it lessened the chances of us seeing a new Metroid game anytime soon.
And "Baby" issues too! Metroid Other M spells out MOM. And the distress sgnal was "Babys Cry" wtf were the writers thinking? And BOTTLE SHIP!? >___> A fucking Baby Bottle? Whats with all these motherly things all of a sudden.
I also think her loyalty to Adam was way out of place. This game is an insult to Samus AND Metroid as a whole. Now the Halo fans have something over us XP
@nintendude4199 Boba Fett had daddy issues-down to the point of acting like his dad and emulating him. If the character that started the space bounty hunter fad had daddy issues, why can't Samus? Prior to this, she was like a female Master Chief-an empty shell that people use to pretend they're the badass.
But I believe it would have been better if Bioware wrote the story and added story elements. That way we can characterize Samus the way we want.
@KidzThezeDayz94 The story is awesome! Seriously, it's the best Metroid game ever! You sound like you just watched xplay's review of this. Haha! But it's really awesome, it takes to like 10 hours if you get all the items, then you can play it over at hard mode. I can't find any wrong, except I want it to be longer! But I want every good game I play to be longer lol.. I bought it when it costed like 80$.. (it costs way more here in Sweden), and I didn't regret it!
@richieboyland2 Indeed I would've used that model and voice and had bioware write the story and have branching rpg-style paths.
Paragon would be Samus obeying Adam and using only the weapons he asks, in exchange he gives advice about aliens that Samus never met before and how to kill the more advanced metroids.
Renegade would have Samus telling him to fuck off, keeping all her weapons, and Adam not giving a shit whether she lives or dies.
I always thought that the greatest heroes were those that do great things while remaining human in contrast of those who do great things by blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher. This game has both.
Other M is a strong departure from previous Metroid games, with fantastic combat and exciting bosses that make this a mediocre entry in the otherwise great series.
@Tiniuc Departure? Only from Prime, IGN puts it great, it mixes stuff form the ORIGINAL Metroid and the newer ones. I.e. Side scrolling. It's not mediocre. It also was meant to fill people in on story as well as be a game.
I WOULD LOVE a sequel to this game! I loved the voice acting and the new game style. Its still one of my favorite metroid games to date. If they do make a 3rd person metroid shooter, I at least want the voice acting! I would be happy. :)
that little whit fury thing was the result of a moogle and a chacabo's one knight stand no i did not come up with that but damn i thought it was funny
If Nintendo wants a story-filled Metroid game, they should have collaborated with Square instead of Team Ninja. I mainly say that because I want to have a Metroid game with a soundtrack done by both Kenji Yamamoto and Yoko Shimomura, though.
@aeminence Half-Life 2 is an AMAZING game, year means nothing, it still has great graphics. Halo 2? Lol! Go get a life, graphics and gameplay are where it's at, not just graphics like you XBox people love.
I think Nintendo made us expect much more than what the final product actually gave us. They aimed too much for the story and too less for the actual gameplay and what's even more sad is the fact that the game doesn't have much of an replay value in my opinion.
After all the hours spent on the Metroid Prime games I expected the story to be about 40 to 50 hours long. With that expectation... I finished the game without even knowing how close to the end I was at the spiral tower thingy. :/

Speaking of which, the charge beam is overly emphasised in this game. There is no point in using a missle, when a charge beam that you can fill instantly with a dodge will do the trick.

@Ruldolphmaker Its because she's a hired bounty hunter not a vilantage like Batman, the only way adam would have let her in the bottle ship is if she did everything he told her to do, and about the Post Traumatic Attack, although she's face Ridley four times in the past, Ridley has been responsible for a number of traties in her life such as stealing the closet thing she's ever had to a son and horribly murding her parents in front of her.

Vader3123 8 months ago 18
@Vader3123 that's not the issue here - the issue is that the "personality" they attributed to her went completely against the idea of the strong female warrior they had characterised her with in previous games. if you don't know about it, look up the show extra credits on penny arcade. they did an excellent episode about how simply making a silent protagonist speak does not equal "giving them a personality" as much as it just makes them a facilitator for an exposition dump.

Much better than Xplay's review. Xplay doesn't know sh!t. I enjoyed Other M, and I understood Samus's backstory and why she was. and the story's "holes" aren't holes. They're simply untold parts left for another day. Zelda does it too, but nobody complains about that. Other M was great and is a worthy addition to Metroid.

I liked it quite a bit more than games like Zero Mission and even Prime 2 and 3... It's taken it's place as my third favorite, and I feel that it just is hated for the wrong reasons... a game is bad because the GAME is bad, as in, controls, atmosphere and over all GAME FUCKING PLAY! Gameplay over weighs Samus's bad voice acting, and it over weighs a really unappealing story! I'd give the game a 9 out of 10... I just hope that Nintendo does another game like it... but maybe without Team Ninja...

CyclopticPoggy 9 months ago
The game itself is pretty good, the controls are great and the storyline is good too, difficulty doesn't spike stupidly and the enemies are well-designed; The main problem with this game is the way it portrays Samus.
Since the revelation that Samus is a sexy, blond woman, everyone has liked her because she's no damisel in distress, shes been portrayed as a loner and a berseker, a lady that isn't afraid of blowing up a planet.
But this game just made her a crybaby with a huge Electra complex.
kztar621 10 months ago
The giving a thumb down and the scene where she defied Adam seemed very palusible since she's always been a rebel and, although cold, she cared for others like the baby and the corrupted hunters, but as the story progressed she became just more and more involved with a guy that she addressed in Fusion to as a random gruff CO. she once served under, to the point of it being a ridiculously fabricated teenage crush.
The lady definitely would have had some objections regarding this portrayal.
kztar621 10 months ago
I like that the developers kept in mind the mental baggage Samus had been carrying throughout the series and tried to give us a glimpse of her feelings on the baby's death, since the other games made her seem a bit too heartless about it, but Team Ninja forgot Samus' serious and composed personality, her hatred for Ridley (And the fact that she had just fought another reborn version of him in Zebes) and the fact that she doesn't hesitate to kill something as dangerous as a Metroid.

@kztar621 I appreciated the direction Team Ninja went with the gameplay elements very much! However, the story was an abomination and completely disgraced the legacy of my favorite video game heroine. Giving Samus maternal feelings for a Metroid was nothing short of sacrilegious, and her bratty behavior and unreasonable compliance with Adam's will was slanderous. She nearly got herself killed several times because Adam didn't give her PERMISSION to defend herself? This is not Samus Aran at all.

@MatthewESims She is the greatest female in video gaming as far as I'm concerned, and I was disturbed at the perversion to her character in this game. Although it is unfortunately considered canon, and thus locked into its history forever, I do not count this. This could not have been perpetrated by any true fan of the Metroid series. Although I do hope they continue to develop the gameplay mechanics; I believe they can take the series to a new level, a la Prime.

Yeah dude! But did you hear about them saying Prime isn't cannon anymore and stuff? I think thats just a rumor but it still unnerving. Some of the best games in the series are not cannon, but the worst one is!? lol I don't know how Sakamoto can fix this other than retconning.
Cause its true. No true Metroid fan would find this abomination good to Samus' character.

@MatthewESims The Japanese have weird character choices.
Keep in mind that Japan is still one of the few countries with a male-dominated mindset. So much so that a considerable minority of their porn has chauvinistic tastes, with men tying down women. Not to judge, but there, women have less power than they do in the States. Feminism isn't as strong in Japan as it is here, so knocking Samus down a couple pegs after years of fan worship of her as a powerful female was expected.

Its sad, but true. They need to get with the program. But as you said, we all should have expected this to happen to Samus. Retro Studios (the one that made the Prime games) is an American company, so they probably didn't think as much on the fact that shes a girl as the Japanese did.
MatthewESims 6 months ago
@MatthewESims Prior to playing Other M, my characterization of Samus was a psychopathic, xenophobic, alcoholic bitch who wakes up 2 AM in the morning all tired and groggy and shit, like she drank one too many beers last night and is having a hangover, with an insatiable urge to kill aliens. Then again, that came from me playing Metroid Prime at 3 in the morning.

I think Shes way to calm to be a psycho or xenophobe. Most of us thought she was just the strong silent type. And a bit of the no bullshit personality.

I love this game, but there were many missed chances-the Bottle ship should've crashed onto the Federation Capital, creating an amazing doomsday scenario.

Almost ironically this game would be much better if Samus never spoke and if Nintendo stuck to the losing her powers cliche instead of "authorization". If I were an optimist I would hope Nintendo learned from this mistake and develop Samus in a respectable manner or better yet keep her silent, but then again since when has nintendo learned from their mistakes

But I believe it would have been better if Bioware wrote the story and added story elements. That way we can characterize Samus the way we want.
