I gave Metroid Prime a chance and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a really great game.
I gave Metroid: Other M a chance and was disappointed to find that it was incredibly mediocre and poor continuation of an amazing franchise.
Look, I wanted Other M to be a great game, I wanted to love it. After three Prime games, it was clear that they'd gotten to the point where they'd done everything within that framework that could really be done. It was starting to get stale and a change of pace was needed. Other M was that change of pace and I was quite excited for it when it was initially announced and when media started being released.
The finished product didn't match the hype, unfortunately. Other M isn't the worse game ever made, I've played far, far worse. It's mostly just really disappointing, because too much of the game is just mediocre.
