Metroid: Other M

[Mzo]

Looked ugly, bad controls, dumbed down fights that could've been so much cooler... I was so excited for a Team Ninja Metroid, too =[

i'm not playing Metroid for story... so it definitely had a bad one that made me hate the game more... but 3D control with D-Pad = fail.

The control worked fine. I didn't have one issue with them, specially since it didn't work as your typical 3D control style game and worked on grids. The only thing I could give you was that using your missiles was a pain in the ass, because you had to switch to first person mode. Outside of that I don't see how anyone who actually spent any time with the game could complain about the controls. Once you get them down you're dodging enemy attacks left and right and unleashing instant charged shots, it becomes a lot of fun, and a much more nimble Samus Aran than previous games.

I don't like that it was on grids and how it played. I kept finding myself not quite lined up the way I wanted to. I put a few hours in and just didn't like it. I let a few friends borrow it without telling them anything and they all said the same thing.

Love him or hate him, Team Ninja doesn't seem to be doing too well without Mr. Itagaki. This, along with Ninja Gaiden 3 were critical and commercial disappointments.

On balance, THQ is trying to dump Itagaki's current project as well.

yeah $5 at BB I stocked up on them

As soon as the words "Team Ninja" were uttered, I knew it was going to suck.

mzo you told me this was worth 7 dollars and i believed you. This game is god awful. This is Final Fantasy XIII: The Other Baby: Y Metroid No Crawl

"I gave my commander a THUMBS DOWN because i was MAD, just like a baby, the baby that was no longer with me that made a distressing baby sound like a baby, hence the name "baby"."
Then you run down corridors where you look for a hole that should be obvious but somehow isn't for several minutes, occasionally exploring dead ends with no reward, executing the "jump on the head while charged" attack exactly the way it told you in the same tutorial, exactly the way it reminds you every fucking time you're supposed to use, only it works 1 out of 3 times, and sometimes it works when you're not even charged.

i'm almost happy because it's been so long since i've played a game this terrible. on the one hand, i'm fascinated to see if this piece of shit can really get any worse, and on the other, i'm too old for this choc'bo.

[Mzo]

Yeah, but you know I'm pretty lenient on games and always try to find the good in them (at the right price). Plus there's something wrong with some people's brains where they actually think Other M is not total shit, so maybe you'd end up being one of those. I didn't know!

People on GAF argue that it's the BEST Metroid game.

Try to wrap your head around that.
