    I found it new and refreshing. Real nice game, but for me it had some quirks.

    Simply pure faggotry.
    Nope, nope, and nope.

    Stale controls, a lot of unnecessary backtracking, and on top of that completely killed the character of Samus altogether.

    Definitely my third favorite Metroid game. Had all of the elements of the classic Metroid titles, controlled greatly, had the perfect amount of traveling, and it's difficulty was perfect. Loved everything about it. Could've done without the first person detective scenes, but overall, great game. Also loved how they gave a character with "no" character a background. A+++

    Samus never had character. At all.

    You also hate Metroid, so all your points come from bias upon hating the franchise.

    Except the controls, but that's a given.

    You are a bloody twit to just assume that I hate Metroid.

    I think that you said something like that before ...
    I think he got it off of there.
    Maybe you just said you hated Samus ... yeah I think that's what you said.

    Bloody twit? Are those insults really necessary?

    To the point however, I just started playing Other M and find myself compelled. Not in a good way though, the writing and dialog is an absolute travesty. I honestly can't believe anyone finds this truly of high quality. At least the game itself seems to be alright, once one gets past the controls. I am nervous this will be one of those rare Nintendo games that is just outright bad though. I suppose I shall see in time.

    I guess that's just what 'appens when you leave somebody who doesn't 'ave a clue what they're doing in charge of the script.

    Who wrote the script? The lead designer's 13 year old?

    Apparently Sakamoto wrote the entire story itself, and didn't let anyone mess with his perfect vision of the series. It's been said that he actually cried during a few of the scenes he was shown, and refused to take criticism during development.

    God forbid he hires a writer to do the job, considering that it's not his job to tell a story.

    Ah, that explains much. Thank you for the explanation. It is a shame when developers become so enamored with their vision that they ignore criticism. Final Fantasy XIII, Duke Nukem Forever, Dai-Katana, and now Other M...

    Honestly, I'm not sure what exactly you hated about the story so much.

    The biggest flaw I saw was that it failed to develop the characters very well. With the exception of Anthony and Adam, hardly anything is revealed about Platoon 07. Hell, more information was given about Madeline Bergman than them. There was a decent amount of insight given to Samus, but I think the story could've revealed much more about her.

    Yet, I thought the story was the only good part about the game. The game itself was so ridiculously easy (with the exception of a few, rare spots.. particularly the Metroid Queen). Also, the length (rather, lack thereof), was stiflingly short. In fact, I'd blame the story's flaws directly on the short length of the game. There was no time to develop anything. If the game was 2-3 times longer, they'd have made a much more compelling story.
