This sounds downright horrible. I haven't actually read anything about Other M's story before this, so this view on it caught me completely off guard.

This thread is incredibly interesting. I'm not sure whether it made me more interested in buying other M - to see if the story really is this bad - or if it made me lose all interest in ever playing it.

Go to youtube and watch Metroid Other M:  The Movie.  You'll see that the whole thing has been blown waaaaaaaaaay out of proportion.  The story isn't Spielberg or anything but it's pretty enjoyable.  People are scrutinizing this game like no other I've ever seen.

Enjoyability and a deeply problematic message aren't mutually exclusive, though.

Do you remember the big moment of victory in Revenge of the Nerds?
