This mode allows for important hints to be uncovered as well as firing missiles. While most of the action takes place in a third-person view, Samus can enter first-person mode when the Wii remote is pointed at the screen. There's a healthy amount of exploration and satisfying discovery in each world-the foundation to any Metroid game. In terms of actual gameplay, those familiar with Metroid's early platforming years will feel immediately at home, with recognizable enemies, weapons, and sound bytes. Though we wish we had the option to do so, it is interesting to finally hear our main character speak for the first time-in another milestone for the franchise, Other M is the first game to feature a full voice over cast. That said, these movies are pretty long and, more upsettingly, impossible to skip. Cut scenes are beautifully animated and rendered with tons of background information about Samus' early years.
The narrative aspect in Other M is unlike any we've ever seen in a Metroid game. If you're at all interested in the mythos that surrounds the female lead, you're in luck. Other M follows Samus and the events that take place after Super Metroid. After just a few minutes with the game, it's abundantly clear how heavily Metroid influenced games like the Xbox Live Arcade game Shadow Complex. Other M shares a lot of its core with 2D side-scrolling NES and SNES titles while being able to still keep things fresh. We were anxious to get our hands on the latest tale in the Metroid saga, mostly because of the radically different direction developer Team Ninja decided to take the franchise. Read through for our take on Samus' latest adventure in space.
There's a lot of differences this time around-some we liked, some we could do without. With Metroid: Other M, we're seeing a franchise reboot, a brand new imagining of Metroid that combines 2D and 3D gameplay. The Metroid Prime trilogy that stretched across two consoles is regarded as one of the best in Nintendo's history.
