Those who dis Samus' character in this game is clearly missing the point. She had a very rough past, and I'm sure that anyone (Even me) can relate to her. Obviously, you guys just don't understand what it's like to be young with a past that is heck in our world today. What's past isn't a memory, it's prologue. I just want you guys to listen, and find a way to relate to Samus.
Anyone that gives Other M a bad review are clearly not true fans of the Metroid series, shame on all of you badies who say it was not a good game. Lets see you make better!
honestly the worst thing about this game seams to be consintraion made, especially add folks like kwing: Space hunter L Kwing is trapped, out of ammo and his sheild are running low. all he must do to recharge them is to Consintrate but that Damn penny is so SHINY
@link70181 prime and that because the game companyhas skills ok dude just because you love the oldmetroid doesnt mean anything that is diffrent from it sucks so you should get your facts right and yes it is a fact that prime and cod are totally diffrent games
@link70181 i dont like fps i dont play games like that because they re not my kind of games but prime is a awesome game even though i dont play it and that is how you know your a gammer when you can see a good game not because you like it but because it actually is you can compare prime to cll of duty even if it is a fps they are 2 diffrent games and im prettysure everyone that is a metroid player will agree now this is coming from the person who enjoys old school metroid but i still stick up 4
when i saw the mother brain in the trailers i was fricken siked. i was liked oh shit a remake of super metroid fuck yeah! i hope they keep everything the same!. but that dissapointed me that this was not the case. but none the less the game was amazing. i have to wait for adam to authorize weapons and abilities. so what. it wouldnt have been a challenge if i could use everything. nothing at all bugged me about the gameplay. only thing was the long grouling cutscenes of here past.
@ilikeoranges285 that is where your wrong 3 games cant be the longest game because the word game is singuler and metroid trilogy implys it as more then one game soooooo how can three difrent games in one cd be the longest single game im sorry dude but your theroy has flaws i mean come on its just common sense
also im hoping that the formula of other m is in the next metroid game it is simlpy awesome see kwing tells it like it is also it mostly has positive reviews
i love this game so much!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish nintendo would keep this formula for the metroid games although i would prefer the nunchuck and dodging with a bottun and moving the analog stick to the direction i want to dodge to but the level design in this game works great with the d-pad but if they would use the nunchuck they would have more freedom in the level design also i think concetentrating should be removed and enemeis should drop health and missles overall a fantastic game
I loved this game. It's definitely different from other Metroid games, but if I wanted to play the same game over again, I'd replay Super Metroid. Which I do. A lot.
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!? Longest play through? what are you thinking man, ive played all metroid games, ALL. and this is one of the shortest. Man, the items where easy to find too. Among the limited soundtrack, the poor replay factor, and the exclusion of any reward for hard mode, AND the two glitches from the door to the credits, much of the game needed a bit of revising. Over all, enjoyed it, until Ninja Hype up a Tourian battle, that never made its appearance, then I dreaded till the end.
@mkocja5a i used to hate the idea oF other m and sinse i dont own a wii i coUldNt try it for my self. Not dure any more: i think ill watch a few lets plaYs of it before i make a descision.
It makes a lot of sense that the doors don't open by shooting, the facility you are in is a scientist facility, and the scientists won't want to have to carry a gun around to open doors!
The cut scene with Ridley did bug me when I refer back to Samus' encounters with the space pirate in the Prime series. Then there's the glitch and everything you mentioned.
Overall, it's an amazing game and a great entry to the series. Hopefully sometime in the future, Team Ninja and Nintendo will team up again for another Metroid game that fixes the errors of this one and is even more mind blowing. With the Wii U on the horizon, this series in HD graphics would be awesome.
hi kwing how are you? hope you doing well. i have never played a metroid game before and i want to buy one so i watched a lot of reviews for this game and for metroid prime trilogy so i was hoping you could tell me which game should i buy in your opinion? btw i love you videos and reviews they are really really good :)
how can u say this is the longest metroid game ever? thats crazy talk, prime 1 an 2 were easily more longer an allot more satisfying!! i like other m but the control scheme is wat drives me crazy! they shud have a alternate mode so you can use the nunchuck or use a classic controller,its frustrating,an the music aswell it wasnt bad but its just that all the other metroid games had some of the most catchy melodies ever! hell i listen to sum of em even now,but it only has music for theAction parts
That complain about that doors won't open if you shoot them was pointless. I know it's original element in Metroid series, but doors still open after all by running towards it.
"I hate how the doors don't open when you shoot them!"
You seriously think that's worse than Samus freaking out when she saw Ridley? I mean, come on, this was after super metroid wasn't it? that means she at LEAST fought ridley twice. I'm pretty sure the prime games already happened at this point as well, which would mean she's fought him countless times
1. The game supposed to slow down immediately after entering first person to let you gather your bearings in the first person perspective instead of taking damage immediately.
2. The more save points are due to the fact that enemies do not drop health. Left 4 Dead anyone? I do agree however that instead of many save stations, enemies should drop health.
I'm actually getting this tomorrow along with The Mercenaries 3D. I've only played Prime 3. Other M was being bashed all over the Internet, so I figured it was bad. But now I've been reading good stuff about it, so i think people overreacted to stuff they are not used to. I heard a lot of complaints about Samus "crying like a little girl." Well, most badass characters start out with something like that. In fact, it shows that she's human.
People will always find reasons to bitch. "WE WANT A SUPER METROID REMAKE" , well , this is about as close to a super metroid remake as youre gonna get without making it totally 2D. They even continued the Super metroid story arc , instead of making Prime 4. Samus may be the most badass bounty hunter we all know , but she is also human , her parents were KILLED by Ridley. Even the most emotionless person will have feelings that were long covered up when reunited with the cause of pain.
thank you for this i loved this game and hated that so many people say this sucked, and when she cried when Ridley came back from the dead was bull because he killed her parents and she thought he was dead so they can STFU
thank you for this i loved this game and hated that so many people say this sucked, and when she cried when Ridley came back from the dead was bull becuse he killed her parents and she thought he was dead so they can STFU
"You know this game is in full 3D when you can walk up to the front of the screen and Samus gets bigger, and when you run away she gets smaller--that shows that this is a great game."
@Marklmon1 i know a guy who is firm to his claim that he doesn't like this, or any metroid game. But he'll admit that he's never played a single metroid game, ever. Naturally, he's an xbox 360 fanboy.
so no. most haters didn't give this game a chance.
The thing that pissed me off must about other m was the morons that said it turned samus into a sex symbol when she was almust naked in the first metroid game
just one point near the end is not right you said most metroid games can be beaten in an hour or two "Yes" but only the gb games the prime saga is by far bigger then other m. even if you count the secret areas its not a large game.
@Yggdrasill299792 yeah i was a little confused when this guy said this is bigger than any other metroid game. i could beat this game in two afternoons without even trying too hard. one if i really had nothing else to do that day. i absolutely love this game, but it's certainly not a long game
I think everyone loses on Samus' personality here. Sure there was a manga about Ridley (which not MANY people knows about so don't pull that crap out of nowhere), but you would think that she would not be surprised by Ridley's appearance. The guy appeared in many titles and even if prime did not exist in the timeline (which it does) that is not a good enough excuse to not be experience enough to not fight back.
Its hard to believe the amount of idiots how hate this game because of its potrail of Samus I mean shes been through Hell and back and shes only human afterall. I've seen batman react the same way in simliar situations.
so your calling me and other hardcore metroid fans idiots, thanks loser. You really think this game was all that good. Ive played the prime games, read the manga, played some GBA titles. my point is this game sucks according to all professional reviewers and fans
this game sucks for several reasons, few unlockables, a forced run through the lava zone while not being allowed to wear varia suit, the inconsistent character dev. all ur weapons are on u yet ur forbidden to use them
Metroid Standards are what defines being a decent game in the series. its the game people have been waiting for since the original Super Metroid and Fusion, since the mangas introduction of Adam, since the first time people believed what Samus was like other than letting her subtle actions speak for her.
It FAILED metroid Standards and i guess ill get over it if a future metroid game fixes this crap in story and gameplay and developed by someone OTHER than Team Ninja.
though admittedly its a decent game in terms of its build, the reason why I said i wouldnt want to see another entry by team ninja is because i feel it should be shared among developers. Team Ninja and Retro studios have outdone themselves with this series. As good as the Primes were, i dont need to see games similar to their predecessors even if the end result was loveable.
It was very short seemingly linear, and ive played it once, maybe ill dust off my copy and play again
@MrMetroid1998 Well actually she isn't only human, she's part chozo ;)
Besides, Samus has fought Ridley countless times, and I haven't once seen her freak out like she did in Other M. So why did she decide to freak out now? That just bullshit.
tl;dnr: Batman's a pussy anyways, samus is a fucking boss
@MrMetroid1998 I love the game, but it's portrayal of Samus really hurts.
B this time she's already fought Ridley at least 5 times, Mother Brain twice (Thrice if you count the Aurora Unit 313), the Metroid Prime and it's Samus form thrice, the entire Ing horde and the Emperor Ing's 3 forms., she had already destroyed an entire planet and taken down the Zebesian and Homeworldian Space Pirates and yet she acts like some whiny preteen with an out-of-nowhere crush on "some gruff CO.".
@MrMetroid1998 Not that the entire character is messed, she handled the Madeline/Melissa and Platoon 7 issues very well, but her childish crush and extreme care for Adam are totally uncalled for, she herself referred to him as only "some gruff CO. she served under sometime" in Fusion. And crying like a bitch while confronted by Ridley, that had already come back 4 other times and by even crazier means, is stupid.
That said, I LOVED THE GAME, it's just weird to have such a whiny Samus.
@kztar621 When Samus met Ridley at the first time, she was a little girl at that time. Seriously, how you cannot expect seeing Samus crying like a baby at that time? Ridley killed her parents. That leaves trauma to Samus and seeing Ridley again reminded Samus for that horrible day when her parents were killed and Ridley almost killed her. That's why Samus was so scared. Samus is a human like we are. Fear is a natural thing to everyone, even for tough bounty hunter like Samus.
And I hate the fact that this game is porpousefully forgeting EVERYTHING that happened in the Prime series. I mean, I know it doesn't have that much to do, but having Samus so surprised after knowing that the Federation was creating MB after she had already faced the Aurora Units in Norion's Solar System and Phazee is completely retarded. She already knew the Federation was producing bio-mechanic super computers based on the Chozo design of Mother Brain, for Pete's sake!
The story might have worked if they didn't put it where they did. The manga had the same reaction to Ridley, but that took place during Metroid 1, so it actually made sense. Also, the game's more linear than Fusion, and Fusion is about how linear you can make a Metroid game without being ridiculous. Additionally, you already had everything, you just couldn't use it because of the other people, which made me dislike everyone rather than care about them.
I completely agree with you and this review. Finally; one that seems informative for a change instead of the same s*** I keep hearing every single time. This was a great game. The fast pace action. The in depth story. The secret finding. Every little bit of it felt like a Metroid game except for the new game play which was great. People really need to learn to step out of their gaming comfort zone and keep an open mind when playing games.
You said that I would have many playthrougs, but I beat thes game 1 time. Then tried beating it a second time, but lost intrest and played metroid prime. Then I unlocked hard mode and played it for an hour then sold it at gamestop for 11 dollars.
Actually, after you beat the game once, you can press the minus button to skip cutscenes. But yeah, the doors should be "shootable" and the enemy deaths should reward you with health and missiles. It doesn't bother me that much, but it's still kind of annoying. Plus, I find the abundance of Save Stations to be annoying. Maybe I don't want to save. Maybe I want to blitze through the game without saving, but since the doors often won't open until after saving, I'm out of luck for that one.
@StarKiller561 Thanks for telling people that. I figured that one out too. Yet; people who hate the game I'm sure would choose to ignore that and still make the argument of unskippable cut scenes. Trust me I tried it. People get too emotional to actually listen. :(
Its best I remove my first two comments here and leave the third one that was some pretty harsh and funny critism I did here.
sorry man but adam was really jaring in this game, the gameplay is not bad but its waaaayyyy to straight forward for me.
Speed Booster, Spinespark are still awesome to see :), some of the action is ok but I've found some wierd glitches which are a joke to see HAHAHA Anthony was awesome to see everytime.
Also no offense man but this game is easy to 100%.
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah, I agree with some of the things you say. I still love this game tho, and they are planning on a sequel to this game, or really a sequel to Fusion. Something like that, and I'd love to see that. I like that it was kinda straight forward!
I dont agree with that it's easy, or maybe a little.. Try to collect everything, without any guide etc and then the difficulti level will be taken up a notch. And try on hard mode, that's hard!
I've beaten it on hard mode I didn't know what the perks were for hard mode untill I figured out I couldn't pick up any energy tanks and missile tanks now for real man that was tough, the hardest part of the game was fighting on that lift with 9 space pirates and one super space pirate that you can only kill by hitting his mouth flashes red oh and the queen metroid since Metroid 2 she is still tough to beat.
by the time I've beaten other M I had over 80%, 11 more items to find.
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah, hard mode is tough! Love this game tho. I think I'd almost 90% when I was done, I'm a real collector, so I really wanted everything :)
Same here but I go for 100% completion for most games except for gta I mostly get to 70% or 80% lol.
Honestly I did like the rest of the game (forget most of the bad shit I said) but adam is a pain in the ass, when you get all your moves like in all metroid games I go ape shit running around and jumping everywhere finding items every 20 seconds.
if Team N makes a sequal I hope they don't use that permission to use item BS again.
btw I loved useing the hover jump glitch in other M
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah! I dont like Adam to much, but it's kind of a ritual to not have all your stuff at the beginning :) In the Prime games you have to find your weapons, but in this you got them all, but not being able to use them at the beginning! Yeah, I loved to dodge lol
that was the thing that bothered me so much in other M your only allowed to use items when your told to even during battle when samus can get her ass kicked XD.
I like loseing all my powers at the start or in a prologe it feels rewarding to players in collecting items.
In every save room you can hover while jumping, press jump and point at the screen at the same time if you do it right you should be in FPS mode in mid air for 2 seconds, I just did that for lol its not that useful.
Metroid Other M may be a major low point for the Metroid series but it is still an overall great game sure Samus Arans potrail (espically in the scene with Ridley) is big minus and needing authroization to use abilitys instead of gaining them is stupid, the ending is depressing and needing to be in first person to shoot missles is stupid, but other then that I found Metroid Other M to be an overall great game, and enjoyed playing it . The Graphics, gameplay and challenge is wonderfull.
1). The doors in this game are automatic. It takes more time to shoot, then walk in, so why not just walk in and have them open up automatically? There are some doors you do have to shoot with missiles, though.
2). Destroying enemies and them giving health or missiles will make this game a little more "too easy", especially with the Concentration feature.
3). Why complain about save stations? The only save stations you HAVE to save on are the ones where the doors won't open unless you do so.
this game is awesome i litterall felt bad when *SPOILER NAME* died when shot to death it seriously has a great story and gameplay coming from the guy who has played multiple tales games
I don't get how every reviewer says the grafix are good. The grafix suck even for wii standards. Metroid Prime Corruption was far better technicaly and design wise. My wife was looking me playing it and thought I was playing this on the game cube. She asked me why was I playing such and old game.
Kwing, you're one of the few good pro reviewers. But, whats the big deal about doors not opening when you shoot them? I know that was in the old games, but y'know. No offense. ;) Still, great review.
i have a good question.SINCE WHEN DOES SAMUS FOLLOW ORDERS????????????????????. In fusion she was following orders but she said that she doesn't like taking orders, she is like a puppet in this game
bounty huntes and mercs follow some kind of code or order giving to them on the mission, whether its to capture person if the person needs to be dead or alive etc. in super metroid she was on orders from the galactic federation to exterminate the remaining metroid aswell as take down the space pirates once and for all, and she got rewarded for tht, but it doesnt mean she has to like it, she even disobeyed an order in the game. but u do wht u gotta do to get paid
@marcdaniel0321 I agree! G4's review WAS horrible! It was so bad that it really got me pissed and I just simply said "F them! I'm never watching their show ever again! They are very unfair when it comes to game reviews! It seems like they give Mario and Halo all the phrase in the world, while Sonic and some other good games get a freakin boot to the head!!!"
@DrunkGoomba1645 Its a shame. Sonic is my favorite video game character, so I hate the way they and IGN dog him. Come to think of it, there review was as bad as IGN's review for Sonic Unleashed. All they did was rant and bash the game without even making a good agreement. They're bias and they're losers
i agree why must people nit pick about other m i mean other m is an awesome game so thanks luke for giving us the true review on metroid other god bless and yes happy gaming
Im fed up of people moaning Samus is actually a woman with feelings. Anyone who is hardened and "cold" has a reason to be, if she was meant to be a pure robot, she would actually have been justa robot, not a woman in a suit.
i think it has to do with because Samus has less feminist approach to the game. Nintendo and team Ninja made her a more human character, instead of a Super Human attitude. People assume having emotions makes on weak, so they didn't like this game and just picked the same stuff to complain about and passed it on to the other reviewers. However; IGN did a great review of this game when it released. But I didn't check out other reviews, until after this was done.
this is y i subscribed to u and ur other channels kwing, ever since i subbed on my foxuzamaki account(which is suspended) i always found u a unbiased reviewer who loves nintendo and supports the wii and who actually KNOW HOW TO REVIEW A GAME especially metroid other m, now i would have also liked if u talked about the music however, it doesnt have all the memorable music from past metroid games but the new and old music it does have is simply gorgeous coming fro ma music buff like me.
GZ doesn't let me go in detail for my reviews really. So I had to cut stuff out. Also since I am partner now on my YT channel, Ive had to cut back on work out side my channel, since I do a vid mon-fri now. I felt the music was ok in this game, I used the only songs I liked for this review. Thanks for watching the review and understanding how and why I review games =)
The team who developed Super Metroid needs to develop a new Metroid game for a console (not handheld) preferably for the Wii.

I think everyone loses on Samus' personality here. Sure there was a manga about Ridley (which not MANY people knows about so don't pull that crap out of nowhere), but you would think that she would not be surprised by Ridley's appearance. The guy appeared in many titles and even if prime did not exist in the timeline (which it does) that is not a good enough excuse to not be experience enough to not fight back.

@MrMetroid1998
so your calling me and other hardcore metroid fans idiots, thanks loser. You really think this game was all that good. Ive played the prime games, read the manga, played some GBA titles. my point is this game sucks according to all professional reviewers and fans
this game sucks for several reasons, few unlockables, a forced run through the lava zone while not being allowed to wear varia suit, the inconsistent character dev. all ur weapons are on u yet ur forbidden to use them

@TheDevilBreaker Look I played Metroid Other M and though it was dissapointing by Metroid Standards I still found it to be a decent game.
MrMetroid1998 7 months ago
@MrMetroid1998
Metroid Standards are what defines being a decent game in the series. its the game people have been waiting for since the original Super Metroid and Fusion, since the mangas introduction of Adam, since the first time people believed what Samus was like other than letting her subtle actions speak for her.
It FAILED metroid Standards and i guess ill get over it if a future metroid game fixes this crap in story and gameplay and developed by someone OTHER than Team Ninja.
TheDevilBreaker 7 months ago
@MrMetroid1998
though admittedly its a decent game in terms of its build, the reason why I said i wouldnt want to see another entry by team ninja is because i feel it should be shared among developers. Team Ninja and Retro studios have outdone themselves with this series. As good as the Primes were, i dont need to see games similar to their predecessors even if the end result was loveable.
It was very short seemingly linear, and ive played it once, maybe ill dust off my copy and play again

@MrMetroid1998 I love the game, but it's portrayal of Samus really hurts.
B this time she's already fought Ridley at least 5 times, Mother Brain twice (Thrice if you count the Aurora Unit 313), the Metroid Prime and it's Samus form thrice, the entire Ing horde and the Emperor Ing's 3 forms., she had already destroyed an entire planet and taken down the Zebesian and Homeworldian Space Pirates and yet she acts like some whiny preteen with an out-of-nowhere crush on "some gruff CO.".
kztar621 7 months ago
@MrMetroid1998 Not that the entire character is messed, she handled the Madeline/Melissa and Platoon 7 issues very well, but her childish crush and extreme care for Adam are totally uncalled for, she herself referred to him as only "some gruff CO. she served under sometime" in Fusion. And crying like a bitch while confronted by Ridley, that had already come back 4 other times and by even crazier means, is stupid.
That said, I LOVED THE GAME, it's just weird to have such a whiny Samus.
kztar621 7 months ago
@kztar621 When Samus met Ridley at the first time, she was a little girl at that time. Seriously, how you cannot expect seeing Samus crying like a baby at that time? Ridley killed her parents. That leaves trauma to Samus and seeing Ridley again reminded Samus for that horrible day when her parents were killed and Ridley almost killed her. That's why Samus was so scared. Samus is a human like we are. Fear is a natural thing to everyone, even for tough bounty hunter like Samus.
Kazamachampion 7 months ago
And I hate the fact that this game is porpousefully forgeting EVERYTHING that happened in the Prime series. I mean, I know it doesn't have that much to do, but having Samus so surprised after knowing that the Federation was creating MB after she had already faced the Aurora Units in Norion's Solar System and Phazee is completely retarded. She already knew the Federation was producing bio-mechanic super computers based on the Chozo design of Mother Brain, for Pete's sake!
kztar621 7 months ago
The story might have worked if they didn't put it where they did. The manga had the same reaction to Ridley, but that took place during Metroid 1, so it actually made sense. Also, the game's more linear than Fusion, and Fusion is about how linear you can make a Metroid game without being ridiculous. Additionally, you already had everything, you just couldn't use it because of the other people, which made me dislike everyone rather than care about them.

I completely agree with you and this review. Finally; one that seems informative for a change instead of the same s*** I keep hearing every single time. This was a great game. The fast pace action. The in depth story. The secret finding. Every little bit of it felt like a Metroid game except for the new game play which was great. People really need to learn to step out of their gaming comfort zone and keep an open mind when playing games.

Actually, after you beat the game once, you can press the minus button to skip cutscenes. But yeah, the doors should be "shootable" and the enemy deaths should reward you with health and missiles. It doesn't bother me that much, but it's still kind of annoying. Plus, I find the abundance of Save Stations to be annoying. Maybe I don't want to save. Maybe I want to blitze through the game without saving, but since the doors often won't open until after saving, I'm out of luck for that one.

@StarKiller561 Thanks for telling people that. I figured that one out too. Yet; people who hate the game I'm sure would choose to ignore that and still make the argument of unskippable cut scenes. Trust me I tried it. People get too emotional to actually listen. :(

Its best I remove my first two comments here and leave the third one that was some pretty harsh and funny critism I did here.
sorry man but adam was really jaring in this game, the gameplay is not bad but its waaaayyyy to straight forward for me.
Speed Booster, Spinespark are still awesome to see :), some of the action is ok but I've found some wierd glitches which are a joke to see HAHAHA Anthony was awesome to see everytime.
Also no offense man but this game is easy to 100%.
xRocketzFighterx 1 year ago
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah, I agree with some of the things you say. I still love this game tho, and they are planning on a sequel to this game, or really a sequel to Fusion. Something like that, and I'd love to see that. I like that it was kinda straight forward!
I dont agree with that it's easy, or maybe a little.. Try to collect everything, without any guide etc and then the difficulti level will be taken up a notch. And try on hard mode, that's hard!

I've beaten it on hard mode I didn't know what the perks were for hard mode untill I figured out I couldn't pick up any energy tanks and missile tanks now for real man that was tough, the hardest part of the game was fighting on that lift with 9 space pirates and one super space pirate that you can only kill by hitting his mouth flashes red oh and the queen metroid since Metroid 2 she is still tough to beat.
by the time I've beaten other M I had over 80%, 11 more items to find.
xRocketzFighterx 1 year ago
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah, hard mode is tough! Love this game tho. I think I'd almost 90% when I was done, I'm a real collector, so I really wanted everything :)

@o0Smexy0o
Same here but I go for 100% completion for most games except for gta I mostly get to 70% or 80% lol.
Honestly I did like the rest of the game (forget most of the bad shit I said) but adam is a pain in the ass, when you get all your moves like in all metroid games I go ape shit running around and jumping everywhere finding items every 20 seconds.
if Team N makes a sequal I hope they don't use that permission to use item BS again.
btw I loved useing the hover jump glitch in other M
xRocketzFighterx 1 year ago
@xRocketzFighterx Yeah! I dont like Adam to much, but it's kind of a ritual to not have all your stuff at the beginning :) In the Prime games you have to find your weapons, but in this you got them all, but not being able to use them at the beginning! Yeah, I loved to dodge lol
o0Smexy0o 1 year ago
@o0Smexy0o
that was the thing that bothered me so much in other M your only allowed to use items when your told to even during battle when samus can get her ass kicked XD.
I like loseing all my powers at the start or in a prologe it feels rewarding to players in collecting items.
In every save room you can hover while jumping, press jump and point at the screen at the same time if you do it right you should be in FPS mode in mid air for 2 seconds, I just did that for lol its not that useful.

Metroid Other M may be a major low point for the Metroid series but it is still an overall great game sure Samus Arans potrail (espically in the scene with Ridley) is big minus and needing authroization to use abilitys instead of gaining them is stupid, the ending is depressing and needing to be in first person to shoot missles is stupid, but other then that I found Metroid Other M to be an overall great game, and enjoyed playing it . The Graphics, gameplay and challenge is wonderfull.

1). The doors in this game are automatic. It takes more time to shoot, then walk in, so why not just walk in and have them open up automatically? There are some doors you do have to shoot with missiles, though.
2). Destroying enemies and them giving health or missiles will make this game a little more "too easy", especially with the Concentration feature.
3). Why complain about save stations? The only save stations you HAVE to save on are the ones where the doors won't open unless you do so.

bounty huntes and mercs follow some kind of code or order giving to them on the mission, whether its to capture person if the person needs to be dead or alive etc. in super metroid she was on orders from the galactic federation to exterminate the remaining metroid aswell as take down the space pirates once and for all, and she got rewarded for tht, but it doesnt mean she has to like it, she even disobeyed an order in the game. but u do wht u gotta do to get paid

@BrolyFan23
i think it has to do with because Samus has less feminist approach to the game. Nintendo and team Ninja made her a more human character, instead of a Super Human attitude. People assume having emotions makes on weak, so they didn't like this game and just picked the same stuff to complain about and passed it on to the other reviewers. However; IGN did a great review of this game when it released. But I didn't check out other reviews, until after this was done.
