From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
Metroid: Other M
Set between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, Other M follows Samus Aran on a rescue mission to a derelict ship in deep space where she encounters her former commanding officer and a whole host of old and new trouble.
Metroid Fusion 3D
Considering how Other M picks up directly after the events of Super Metroid, it’s easy to assume that it was a true 3D interpretation of that seminal classic. However, the minutes-long opening cinemat… Read more
Review: Metroid: Other M
From a distance, Metroid: Other M appears to be the series’ return to its side-scrolling adventure roots. And after the success of Shadow Complex, the traditional Metroid game seemed like an idea wort… Read more
Big shoes to fill.
In my last review, I disliked that Limbo didn't have more exposition. In the case of Metroid: Other M, it has too much. And it's not even because of the precedent set by the Prime trilogy. (Well, that… Read more
Samus is both detective and futuristic ninja.
*This reads like a post-mortem, rather than a traditional review. I went into this Metroid with no expectations. I'm always happy to accept that any game series has to evolve and change to keep fresh,… Read more
solid game
I thoroughly enjoyed this title. Many of the other reviews on this and other sites appear to capture what I experienced: solid gameplay set back by a so-so plot. Controls are responsive and intuitive.… Read more
Samus shedding her bathing suit wouldn't save this game
Last September, I was bombarded with tweets about Metroid: Other M being sexist. Each time I saw one of those 140-character messages, I rolled my eyes thinking that Americans were once again expecting… Read more
Taking a blender to the last two decades of Metroid
(spoiler free) Over 15 years ago, Super Metroid released on the Super Nintendo to critical acclaim. This sequel to its NES and GB predecessors was beautiful, and its 2D action played perfectly down to… Read more
Any Objections, Adam?
I've been an on-again off-again fan of the Metroid series, which really means I like most of the games in the series that I've played, but it's not really a franchise that keeps me yearning for the ne… Read more

Nintendo takes a chance and it mostly pays off.
When Retro Studios rebooted the Metroid franchise with their Prime Series it was revelutionary. After three Prime releases Nintendo decided to allow a set of fresh eyes in Team Ninja work on the franc… Read more
Good Game
I enjoyed this game. It plays like a metroid game should play. The only problem I have with it is the way Samus talks. She has this monotone and winey voice that you don't expect from an epic bounty h… Read more

M is for Metroid?
Overview Metroid: Other M has been one of the more divisive games to have come out in 2010. The game has been called brilliant by some and sexist by others. Other M takes place immediately after Super… Read more
It certainly is "Other".
Let me just start off by saying I love Metroid. Metroid, Super Metroid, the three Prime games, the GBA games, are all super in my book. Other M, however, is really not one of those games at all and wh… Read more
Metroid: Other M is a disappointment by any measure
I was an excited 6 year old when Metroid II: The Return of Samus was released for the Game Boy. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since. It's been literally years since I've bought a Wii game, b… Read more
Tough one.
Metroid Other M is Team Ninja's take on the Metroid franchise and it's an interesting mix of styles. Interesting, yes, but with some fundamental flaws. The worst of these is the characterisation of Sa… Read more
M for Mysogyny.
I’d like to take a second to prove something. Remember how great Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox was? Remember the plot to Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox? No? Point proven. I feel like Team Ninja has had this prob… Read more
A solid yet flawed Metroid game
I'm a big Metroid fan, I love the feel of loneliness the games give, the backtracking for hidden items, puzzles and exploration. The problem is that Metroid Other M lacks somewhat in exactly does area… Read more
Metroid Fan Service, for better or for worse

Very fun, despite minor flaws.
Before I get too far into this, I'll just get out of the way right now that I've only recently gotten into the Franchise thanks to Metroid Prime Trilogy coming out for the Wii, and as far as the mytho… Read more
Sweeeet, but when did Samus get so sappy?
For those of us who wanted a return to the way Metroid used to be, back in the golden days of Super Metroid, I think we've almost got it. I find it to be a good blend of styles, somewhere between a si… Read more
Near perfect
What a game, Metroid: Other M, is near perfect. The reason i say near perfect is because there are some flaws holding back what could otherwise have been a perfect game. I'm gonna avoid any kind of sp… Read more
