  I like the 1st person missiles. You have to pick your times to use it. It's part of the challenge.

  It's a great game, and the only one that I beat to the end on my Wii, probably, because motion control was very nice, and gameplay was fantastic as I remember. Also, graphics in this game were definitely better than in other titles what I had played on the Wii.

  Other M does not deserve the hate that it gets, sure it has some flaws but nothing that ruins the game for me.  It looks amazing for a Wii game, has some excellent sound design, and some of the best boss fights in the series.  Overall it was a heck of lot of fun to play with that classic action/platforming gameplay that I love about the 2D games. Also, the clever use of the Wiimote makes it so easy to pick up and play without being overly cumbersome.

  I have the same opinion about adding more than one control options to the player. Adding a stick and the ability to move in first person view (or at least dodge) would have been a better experience. <br>I agree with all your other comments too. <br> <br>Other M is being treated like Sonic Unleashed. After so many years people started to replay this game and saying was good, and here I&apos;m, liking these games before the launch day, watching trailers and being hyped about. <br> <br>Thank you for this video.

  I played on Dolphin and set it up so that I could easily go in and out of 1st person jsut by pressing R2 on my dualshock.<br><br>This made it one of my favorite metroids, only behind Fusion,

  Samus sounds a lot less lifeless in the Japanese version, which can be played with English subtitles. &nbsp;The game case is a whole lot cooler too.

  After 3D Metroid games where you can&apos;t see the protagonist, Other M was wonderful. Acually it&apos;s one of my favorite Metroid games, regardless.

  Honestly Other M was surprisingly fun after years of being told it sucked. The localization is clearly bad (The Deleter lmao) and the voice direction completely falls flat in English, but most of it makes sense. The issue I have with it, is that some of the biggest things people dislike are the result of what at the time was already covered in Japanese only manga. Like Samus&apos;s PTSD of Ridley being something the manga had shown, but the west (where metroid is more popular) never had this manga and to be honest the required story for a game should be found inside the game. That aside I think the story is good as a whole despite the flaws, the game also looks fantastic on the Wii (thank Team Ninja) while playing extremely well as a third person game.<br><br>If the game was designed with the nunchuk the game would have fantastic controls and the self-heal could be removed since you wouldn&apos;t take so many hits that are caused by the terrible control scheme.
