I didn't think gameplay wise Other M was that bad at all. It was a cool game, it just had horribly cheesy CGI cut scenes (though pretty) and got crapped on because it wasn't the Metroid game that Metroid purists wanted.

I wouldn't mind a Platinum take on that concept, but maybe use a different bounty hunter than Samus so it's a spin-off.

Other M had other faults that deterred from the enjoyment of the game too.  

  • Auto-aim
  • first-person missiles
  • pixel hunt scenes
  • easy to master combat once you learned how to dodge
  • unimaginative art style
  • and boring music.  

The production values were really good with most things though, including the CGI cut scenes.  But the game had other shortcomings besides the story presentation or characterization of Samus.

Not to mention D-Pad movement, invisible walls galore, a shitty health system, sequences where you were locked into walking, an awkward non-adjustable camera...

I still can't believe how shite that game turned out.
