You all make it sound like it's a consensus that Other M was a worse game. I haven't played the full game yet, but I can already say I enjoy the gameplay very much, while I didn't like the Prime parts. 

What Prime parts?  There is nothing in Other M that is like the Prime games.  If you mean the parts where the game forces you into first person to look at some specific part of the environment or makes you go to first person to fire a missile and freezes you in place, then I agree, those parts were not very good.

No, what I wanted to say was that I didn't enjoy the Metroid Prime games. I tried Prime 1 and Corruption, and they're just not for me. I don't like the first person perspective, and the depressing atmosphere, and the scanning and everything. Other M is the kind of Metroid game I'd play.

Maybe it's because Prime 1-3 were made outside of Japan. I found that I prefer Japan made Nintendo games. Not a fan of outsourcing to the US. I haven't tried DKCR yet, though.

That's cool.  Everyone has their preferences.  I like Other M as a game, too.  I just don't like it as a Metroid game.
