Wow, Long and beautiful. At one part is about Sexism. True but I see it everyday so its nothing new.

I like turtles.

Yeah, I read that a while back - pretty soon after release - and thought it brought up some good points.

I'm almost certain this has been posted here before, but yeah, it's a great read on how exactly this game fails.

Sadly, as a supporter of the game, even I have to agree that it brings up a lot of good points. I will admit that it has changed my viewpoint on the matter a little, after seeing all of the evidence here and after hearing these things so many times over the last few months all over the internet and from some of you as well.

Still think the game has some merits though, and that the story isn't as bad as it could have been in the end.

I like turtles.

I still think there's good gameplay hidden beneath all the junk. They came surprisingly close to making Sakamoto's silly little insistence on Wiimote-only work.

Woah! Harsh much... I like Other M but I love the fact that Anthony slides off one of those weird things with his ice thing. He stays alive (The reason why is because my name is Anthony)

there's just no reason to play that game.

there are way better 2d platformers, way better 3d platformers, way better shooters, way better sci-fi games, way better nintendo games, way better team ninja games, and way better metroid games. total waste of time.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

The best thing about Other M is how much ark hates it.

i remember having fun with some of the gameplay when i played it but there was just so much bullshit clouding it up that it's not worth ever touching again.

I like turtles.

I totally should've rented it. Or at least waited another week or so after it came out to buy it for less than half its full price.

Well, I almost have completed my 100% run and I'm finding it pretty amusing myself.

heh looks like other m replaced mp2 as ark's most hated metroid game.

replaying the game once in a while is fun for me. doing it at the end of the year was fun because i ended on time (before the year ended)
