@ AOK: You could backtrack in fusion? When? Once you´ve reached a dataroom the doors were closed. In OM all doors were opened in the end, but in fusion you couldn´t even collect missiles, even if you find out how to get them... Message | Report |

@darkgemini Um, no, Fusion was not this linear. In fact, Other M is the only game in the series that has doors LOCK BEHIND YOU just to prevent you from backtracking (which leads to a gamebreaking glitch, I might add). Face it: the only reason Other M is considered a Metroid game is because of the title; it plays like a Metroid game just as much as Link's Crossbow Training plays as a real Zelda game.

fusion was even more linear :) Metroid 2 wasn´t that unlinear, the way you killed the metroids defined the way you have to go.. SM & M 1 weren´t linear, yes, but OM belongs to the classic canon, its no prime game, most people forget about this, and metroid isn´t only prime!

I've read that someone thought that this game was in the same boat as WiiMusic in terms of not being a system seller. That argument is two-fold. Yes, it DIDN'T sell Wii systems, but I'd argue that unlike WiiMusic, which seemed to me like a cheap, lame ripoff, OTHER M is actually quite good. It attempts to shake up the METROID franchise by introducing some new elements to it, and while the mixture is a bit rough at times, it's nonetheless undeserving of the backlash. Message | Report |

As a Metroid fan (both the original Metroid, and the incredible Prime saga), i think this game aint worth a buck. The only reason this game was "succesful" (note that Metroid was never that big in Japan anyway) is because of the incredible ads released in Japan appealing to the old school gamer, those ads probably got many people attention (as they got mine) and a lot of sells as a result Message | Report |

@ AOK: YOu said it yourself: FUSION! Pulling out the game saying she had no character? Lol. She was even more "weak" there. And it doesn´t metter that it was later in timelime, what a logic. It was developed earlier, thats the point :rolleyes: And even in the prime games she wasn´t that bad ass, you maybe wish to see in her.... Message | Report |

@darkgemini The graphics are a huge step down from the Prime games. Prime had organic, detailed environments, but Other M was just corridor after corridor after huge, empty room. And to make this perfectly clear, Samus never had any character; whatever you believed her to be was simply you projecting your thoughts onto the character. And before you pull out Fusion to defend your point, that was later in the Metroid timeline; nothing excuses this poor portrayal of a character. Message | Report |

I just sold this off after half way through. This is not a good game. I'm only glad I didn't pay full price for it. The controls are awful. samus is made to be really weak character, and the visuals compared to prime are real bad. To prove I am not just a hater, kong country(which I am playing now) is fantastic with great visuals. I can only hope that metroid fans don't get suckered in to the stuff you peopel are saying here.

I didn't see any direct quote from Reggie about it being US sales. Kotaku could've easily stated "US" themselves. I'm not saying they did, but until we hear a direct quote, I'm not trusting Kotaku. They have a bad habbit of putting words of ideas in peoples minds by adding their POVs often =/ Also, even if we get a direct quote, without official numbers, we don't know how loosely or unloosely Reggie could've used "getting close" to half a million.

Currently waiting to see the numbers on Dread, and came to see how this fared in the end, not only is as Roar_Of_War said it years ago, as I also saw this in the bargain bin, but this nearly 1.4 millions show that Nintendo overshipped this when they thought they were reinventing the wheel with Metroid(instead they killed it for a decade) since I remember it being stale at 800k for years.

Making a metroid game where you ping pong back and forth between 1st person shooter and semi-3d platformer is an interesting concept. Unfortunately, its kind of disorienting to do so and takes a bit to get used to it. If they would have just left as 2.5d platformer with neat tricks... would have been better. Take all of Klonoa's tips and tricks on manipulating back/foreground and use it for Samus. Message | Report |
