my biggest problem with the game was that it always tells you where to go, similar to fusion. And second the combat. first playthough i kinda liked it. it was cool fast and especially the sensemove made you feel like samus. Agile and acrobatic.

Second playthrough i was kinda "ey this game sort of reminds me of God of War and ninja gaiden and all those other button mashers."

The shooting in the Prime games are not a whole lot better though, but atleast there is something else besides shooting and general button mashyness.

I loved the Scan visor in Metroid Prime, scanning animals, plants, enemies and reading up on them.

Other M wasnt all bad, but it was far from great

Thing is Prime always told you where to go as well, the only thing Other M and Fusion do above that is hand you the map (and the map was still available in Prime as well, but you had to get it yourself)

You can turn that off on the options screen.

I fail to see how that effects anything

You fail to see that the word "always" implies you cannot turn it off, when that factually is incorrect? Furthermore, the Prime games don't have just one path for every destination (although admittedly the third game did that the most).
