Is Metroid Other M any good?

[theRepublic]

For £10, go ahead and buy the game. That is pretty cheap for a Nintendo game. I think that Metroid Other M is a pretty good game, it is just not a good Metroid game. It is unlike any other game in the series, so it is not really a good introduction.

Like others have said, getting Super Metroid from the Virtual Console would be the best introduction to the series. After that, start with Metroid Prime. If you have a Gamecube controller you can just pick up the Gamecube version. It should be cheaper and easier to find than Metroid Prime Trilogy.
