¿Recuerdan que no hace poco publique un post que no podía continuar con el Metroid Other M? Pues lo solucione, y ya termine el juego hasta las 3 de la mañana.

Other M no es para nada un mal juego, solo es el Metroid que se queda más corto con respecto a los demás juegos de la franquicia ( no incluyo a los de Gameboy y 3Ds) y con las expectativas que tenia la gente fanática de ... read more

What a severely underrated game! Those criticizing several categories of Other M like the script and voice acting are illegitimate. I saw absolutely nothing significantly wrong with this game. It's a wild ride from start to finish. There are some minor pacing problems when it comes to upgrading to the next item and some backtracking for expansions, but it's still a fantastic game with insanely sat... read more

Description: Metroid: Other M is an action-adventure video game for the Wii developed by "Project M", a team which consists of staff members from Nintendo, Team Ninja, and D-Rockets. A part of the Metroid series, it features gameplay in both first- and third-person perspectives, and is the first installment of the franchise to feature melee attacks which could only be executed when an enemy's health was reduced to a certain degree. Impressed with the 2004 action game Ninja Gaiden, series co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto approached Team Ninja to develop Other M, while D-Rockets was brought in to handle the in-game cutscenes. The deve Metroid: Other M is an action-adventure video game for the Wii developed by "Project M", a team which consists of staff members from Nintendo, Team Ninja, and D-Rockets. A part of the Metroid series, it features gameplay in both first- and third-person perspectives, and is the first installment of the franchise to feature melee attacks which could only be executed when an enemy's health was reduced to a certain degree.

Impressed with the 2004 action game Ninja Gaiden, series co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto approached Team Ninja to develop Other M, while D-Rockets was brought in to handle the in-game cutscenes. The development team employed a simple control scheme to make the game more intuitive and attractive, and gave significant focus on plot and characterization, with extensive usage of cinematics and voice acting.

Chronologically, Other M takes place next-to-last in the Metroid universe. The events of the game take place between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. The story follows bounty hunter Samus Aran, who investigates a derelict space station along with a Galactic Federation platoon, which includes her former commanding officer, Adam Malkovich.
Other M has met with polarizing reviews. Though it received an aggregate score of 79% on both GameRankings and Metacritic, with much praise to its gameplay, graphics and overall atmosphere, significant criticism was raised towards its plot, dialogue, and cutscene length, with Samus' characterization in the game considered a negative deviation from the series' norm. Other M received an Editors' Choice Award and the award for "Coolest Atmosphere" of 2010 from IGN, was nominated for Best Wii Game of the 2010 by GameTrailers and picked by Wired as one of the best games of the year, but was also chosen as one of the worst games of the year by Entertainment Weekly and Attack of the Show!, and as the third "Biggest Disappointment of 2010" by Game Informer. It was the third best-selling video game in Japan during its week of release, and it was the ninth best-selling game in North America during September 2010. The long-term sales numbers were considered disappointing by Nintendo, however, as the game sold a half a million copies in North America by November 2010. ... (more)

Other M no es para nada un mal juego, solo es el Metroid que se queda más corto con respecto a los demás juegos de la franquicia ( no incluyo a los de Gameboy y 3Ds) y con las expectativas que tenia la gente fanática de la saga, incluyéndome ( no me di cuenta que la Internet se quejo bastante de esta entrega en su tiempo, dandome cuenta de eso esta semana).

Lo que más peca Other M esta sencillamente en la historia y narrativa del juego, con una Samus que se comporta como una persona que indaga mucho en sus pensamientos y preocupaciones de adolescente con problemas paternales, cosa que ha muchos fans no l” read more
