Metroid: Other M
Alex C:
It's OK. The boss battles are good and I've always like Metroid's overall look so it's definitely rental worthy. I'm not really a big fan of having to point the wiimote and shift perspectives in the middle of an action game but they did about as good a job with the mechanic as you can ask for. Still, perspective shifts plus the enemy's tendency to get off screen even in 3rd person mode can be pretty annoying at times-- there were times where my deadliest enemy was the damned camera angle. Thankfully, it's not anywhere near as clunky as the angles and first person archery in Ninja Gaiden. That would have been a disaster given that missiles fill a considerably bigger role in Metroid than archery ever did in Ninja Gaiden. The game is also very easy relative to Ninja Gaiden and has a pretty forgiving checkpoint system so the pedigree shouldn't scare anyone off.

what i've heard so far is "pretty okay game, totally shitty metroid"

Just let me make a damn Metroid game come on Nintendo, I've had a Metroid 5 written up in my brain for ages.

That about sums it up. Although how anyone could tolerate the cutscenes is beyond me.
Alex C:
Yeah, I -hated- the dialog and the way it was delivered. I'm a li'l annoyed that people perceive that as strictly a fanboy-ish kinda thing though. Honestly guys, I don't even like the Metroid series very much in general. It's good but there's quite a few franchises I like better. The bigger problem for me is that I really, really, really hate the sorta cut scenes guys like Hideki Kamiya (DMC, Bayonetta) and Team Ninja seem to specialize in. I don't even really like Resident Evil or the Metal Gear games. Shit, I dunno, maybe I just hate Japan.
