| RolStoppable said: MOM simply marked the breaking point. Nintendo was already going down the wrong road and this game was the last straw. Another thing is that the Wii really needed system sellers at that time, had there be one Malstrom wouldn't have gone on his endless hate tirade against MOM. MOM's control scheme is a mess. The game could have been so much better with a Wiimote/Nunchuk setup and it wouldn't have been a problem in any way. The way it is, MOM is a ridiculously easy game and it's only potential to be challenging is single hits doing insane amounts of damage. Aiming? Automatically, safe for missiles. Dodging? Keep tapping the d-pad. With a W/N setup you could have manual aiming, actual manual dodging while not being a hassle to play. MOM's hard mode is an admission by the developers just how flawed the controls and gameplay are. With the technology of the Wii, a game in the spirit of Super Metroid could have been a marvellous masterpiece. What we got is a game with many missed opportunities. |
Other M is creepy. I watched the story cutscenes on youtube. It freaked the shit out of me. It's disturbing in multiple ways...
