Product Details:

For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female protagonists in video games, and one of the most enigmatic. Having traded her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus finally tells her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her failings, her flaws and ultimately her motivation. Metroid: Other M is an unprecedented collaboration that blends the slick, action-packed production of the world-renowned Team Ninja development team with the game design talents of the creators of the original Metroid. Metroid: Other M is a dramatic new direction for a legendary franchise and a bold new blend between cinematics, storytelling and the best in interactive entertainment.

Metroid: Other M takes the best elements of 1st-person and 3rd-person gaming to create a seamless blend between gameplay, story-telling and dynamic cinematography, that feels like a movie the player can control.Players hold the Wii Remote controller sideways while navigating and battling in 3rd-person. However, at any moment, players can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments in 1st-person perspective.
Metroid fans know more about Samus' suits and weapons than they do about what drives her. That's about to change. The story begins immediately following the events of Super Metroid, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. With voice acting and a rich story, players learn the engaging backstory of Samus as she weaves through an action-packed adventure aboard the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned space facility. As she hurtles into this new adventure, Samus will encounter her first mentor and Commanding Officer of the Galactic Federation, Adam Malkovich.
The development of Metroid: Other M is an exciting collaboration between Nintendo's Yoshio Sakamoto and Team Ninja. Sakamoto was the director of Super Metroid in 1994. Team Ninja is the renowned action developer of Ninja Gaiden. Metroid: Other M pairs Sakamoto's expert level design and exploratory focus of the classic Metroid series with Team Ninja's signature stylish, no-holds-barred action.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

This Metroid game is different from the others in the plot, playing style, and over all feel of the game.
In the plot you explore the back story of Samus, and figure out why/how she is the way she is, which breaks her from the mold of just being a silent butt-kicking bounty hunter roaming across space. Personally I thought it was nice to finally see that Samus is in fact human.
The playing style is incredibly simple. While you might be a little perplexed at first, it's incredibly easy to get the hang of things. The simple Wii-mote only control design made the game playable for even the beginners. Plus, when you know how to pull of her "finishing moves", they look pretty amazing to watch.
The overall feel of the game is nice the first run through. Everything starts to make sense as Samus narrates what's happening throughout the game. It's overall feel is one of a sort of dark mystery. After you've beaten the game, there isn't much else to do aside from play though again on hard, but the game is pretty easy. It lacks the hidden caches like in the Metroid Prime series, and there aren't many hidden places to discover.
Overall, the game is a great one-and-done kind of game. It's worth it's price, in my opinion, and it is incredibly different from the other Metroid games. You shouldn't knock it until you try it. It was an interesting, easy, well-designed game to play.

This game is perfect for: kid gamers

this game was a disgrace to the metroid series. The story is complete dung, the restrictions with the items are stupid, the controls are awkward, there are so few items, the focus thing was dumb, and overall beating the actual game was too dang easy. I got 100% on my first run through and I still can't get 100% on super metroid (best metroid game by the way buy for the snes of vc). There are nowhere near enough secrets or places to explore which was in fact the main pull for the metroid series when it started and also I miss sequence breaking and lack of excessive dialogue and this game really makes you miss those simple things. The big thing about samus is that she is mysterious and keeps to herself instead of narrating everything that happens to her. Even talking about this mess of a metroid game makes me want to play super metroid and beat the bosses in reverse order and I will do that. This game's bad, play the old ones and the prime series

this game was good i liked that it brought back memories from all of the metroid games. I like the moves that you could do like when you jump up on them and shoot them really good. I thought it was a good game but i think my favorite metroid game was probably metroid fusion it was a really good game.

Great metroid game

Posted 3/16/12

It was a great game. Loved the storyline and how Ridley was envolved so well. Too many cutscenes but they told the story out really well. The final boss was easy but fighting the little metroids was really hard

My friends have all told me "This game sucks!" "It's the worst Metroid game ever!" etc. Well I purchased this game brand new for like $10 (at other stores it's like $30-$50) and I was amazed at what the cheap little game had in store for me. Samus finally can talk, the game has a whole crew of good sounding voice actors, the platforming elements of the game is great, and the storyline of the game kept me wanting to play it until the end. The only bad things about this game is the unneeded missle/scan control mecanism, some fights were a little hard for me to get past, and the fact that the final boss fight (main story wise) was WAY TOO EASY! So if you are a hardcore Metroid fan get this game, but if you can't get past the fact that Samus can now talk or any other prejudices against this game, then at least try it before you blow a console up.

Awesome storyline, loved the gameplay and godd graphica and sound. Overall this was a great game, but it was a little short. I'm pretty sure in the beginning they mentioned a sector 4 and 5 but why didn't Samus go there? P.S. The boss fights were epic.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

This is the best Metroid yet. Almost everything was absolutely perfect. The cinematic scenes were gorgeous. I almost cried when (spoilers) Adam died. The ability to mix first and third person was genius. I found three problems though. When you want to fire a missile, (which can only be done in first person.) you have to either find high ground, or run away for a second or two to make sure that you don't get hit by an enemy. Also, enemies won't drop missile or health. When you run low on missiles, you do something call concentration. Basically, you hold the Wii remote upwards and hold down A. The same goes for your health, but that will only work when you have a tiny but of life left. Another thing, The fight with Ridley was so darn fun, I wish I could've done it again, but alas, you cannot. To anyone who's beaten Metroid Fusion, this game explains why Ridley looks like a statue. Other than that, the game is perfect. Tecmo Koei pulled off the exploration perfectly. There's a ton of Items just begging to be found. Once you have 100% items Hard mode is unlocked. If you want a real challenge then beat Hard mode. It is team ninja that made this after all. Anyone who thinks this sucks has no Idea what they're talking about. Buy it.

This game is way too underrated. (1) A main complaint against this game is the fact that it is cinematic, VS the prime games where you would piece together the story through scans, and entries in your log book. The voice acting is rather good, and the role of Samus was cast well. She may sound like she's just reading off of her piece of paper, but how do you think you would sound with barely any human contact for a few years. (2) The controls are another main complaint, sure an analog stick would have been nice, and using the D-Pad to move in 3D space may be inconvenient, but the controls are in no way broken. Due to the lack of an analog stick you might think that dodging would be hard but by pressing 2 at the right time you'll perform a cinematic dodge and sometime perform a counterattack. Overall I believe this is a worthy successor to the Metroid name.

I have had a good time playing this game, but like some other reviewers said, the cinematic parts are way too long and you can't skip through them which is a little ridiculous. My favorite part about the game is how you play in 3rd person but you can switch to 1st when needed! Overall I think this game is pretty fun, but after I beat it, I will trade it in.
