GR hasn't a clue of what he speaks of. The voice acting is either better or on par with any Squaresoft/Enix, Capcom, Konami, Bethesda, Rockstar, Bungie, Id or BioWare game and the story is pretty spectacular if Japanese. Melissa was a stroke of genius but hey maybe I'm just enjoying the sci-fi of, yunno, the sci-fi game. Other than the Silent Hill games I've never wanted to play just to uncover the plot until now with Other M. The writing itself is often clunky as with any any heavily engineered script. It's not the words being spoken, its the meaning of why theyre being spoken. I can't believe the stupidity of people complaining: someone took Metroid and did something completely new and everyone wants what they JUST played in Metroid Prime only... Again. This isn't Mario or Zelda where you just make an excuse to set the reason to showcase new gameplay, its an ongoing saga that was set since Return of Samus.
I saw people complaining about her reaction to Ridley in other M. Does anyone realize that Ridley EXPLODED? DIED, EXISTED NO MORE, WAS A PILE OF THINGS, etc in Super Metroid? The fact that he exists again is a huge shock to Samus who JUST dealt with the idea that she has KILLED what led the attack on K12 murdering her parents. The general Ridley of the Zebesians was RESURRECTED so yeah, id be filling my pants too. Later on in Prime she finds a cyborg Ridley, which she already fought a version of in her zero mission. This is the only time she fought actual Ridley since Super Metroid. Not a genetic manipulation, not mechanical, actual pissed off super intelligent Ridley who hates Aran's guts. That scene was incredibly well written and gets the blood pumping before the battle.
The whole thing is talking about creation, life and death and human connections to our creations. Parenting, the thing that Samus lacks and takes pity upon anything that also lacks it. Even a Metroid. It's fucking brilliant.
