Metroid: Other M (WII)

“It was very nice seeing the Metroid series take a stab at being more storyline driven... Even if it meant making Samus look more like a woman more than a badass. I must admit I kept playing because I wanted to see her entire history told to me...”

“It was very nice seeing the Metroid series take a stab at being more storyline driven... Even if it meant making Samus look more like a woman more than a badass. I must admit I kept playing because I wanted to see her entire history told to me through her perspective instead of me just imagining it as I went.

Great game, great graphics, good gameplay. It felt like a true sequel to the SNES metroid which is what it was supposed to be. If you own a Wii and you have any memories of Metroid I recommend hopping on this one.”

“I had fun, but it could have been so much better. The writing was generally terrible, and they got the tone all wrong. I like that they tried to add more story, but they needed to hire some real sci-fi talent to put it together. Samus needed to be less subservient and melodramatic. The previous Metrioids all made her pretty icy, confident, and efficient. In this game, I swear she was like Sailor Moon or something; it was pretty bad. The control scheme was a terrible idea.
