I haven't played Other M but from what I've seen and read it would be below Prime 3 there. The mistake of Prime 3, Fusion and Other M is to introduce a story line/voice acting; the mistake of Prime 3, Hunters and Other M is to make the game a linear FPS rather than the more open exploration of Prime and Metroid I.

Interestingly I'd rate the music composition in the same order. I believe there's significant correlation between game quality and music quality.

You really do owe it to yourself to play Other M, because it's nothing like that.  First of all, sidescrollers aren't FPS games, you only go to the first-person once in a while.  But more than that, you have to do a TON of exploring to find where you need to go next.  The solutions to many puzzles completely boggled my mind, especially near the end.  Fantastic game, and even with the voice acting and faster-paced action, it is absolutely a Metroid title in every sense.

 

OT:

Well, Other M is the only one that's kept me hooked long enough to totally complete, so:

1. Other M

2. Prime 3

3. Prime

4. Prime Hunters

5. Fusion

6. Prime 2



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Other M was great, but saying that it was the only one that kept you hooked boggles my mind! I played the prime games alot more than other M
