They kind of killed/rewrote the character of Samus Aran.
Within the first hour of the game, they pretty much took the basic premise of the character (physically strong/imposing, silent, action speaks louder than words, mentally and emotionally rock solid, etc.) and turned her into a petulant, vulnerable little girl.
While its understandable that she wasn't a born ass-kicker from infancy, she still had a strong genetic advantage (Chozo DNA!) from childhood that was used as a story telling device to make her a bit more believable as a one-woman army.
Plus, she just doesn't work that well as a "team player" character, which is presumably why she left the police in the first place. It doesn't work that well in Other M where she's reduced from being a completely independent solo-operator to the good soldier that obeys orders well.
Control-wise, I think they maybe should have put in multiple options (nunchuck/remote). It's almost like they didn't because they wanted fixed camera angles, which works for a side/top scroller like the original games, but... Other M isn't a scroller.
But whatever; I still want to see where the rest of the game goes, even if it isn't quite the game I had hoped it would be.
