I thought gameinformer was the mag that always gave good scores to hyped games? 

lawl.

People are finding it hard to grasp Samus is actually a HUMAN with EMOTIONS.

The woman fights and defeats Mother Brain between Metroid and Super Metroid. The game starts off showing the end of Super Metroid where the baby metroid dies and Samus proceeds to fight and defeat Mother brain.

The woman fights and defeats Ridley between Metroid and Super Metroid.

The woman is an elite Bounty Hunter and saves the galaxy numerous times between Metroid and Super Metroid.

 

Metroid Other M takes place Super Metroid, evident by the opening cinematic.

Samus is scared and whines like a baby when confronted by Ridley in Other M? Shouldn't it be more like "Oh crap, you again?"

 

Sorry, but that is lame. Samus is a badass, plain and simple, not a cry baby who needs permission from her former superior in order to use her cool items.

She should have stayed a silent protagonist. Not every storyline needs to involve people whining and showing all sorts of emotions never seen in the character's previous 15 years.

Not to mention she looks like a kid.

 

This game isn't getting hammered in reviews because the game is bad, it is because they completely destroy who Samus has been since I was a child.
