Famitsu gave Metroid: Other M three 9's and one eight leaving it with a score of 35/40 which rounds to a score of 9.

Edit: I was not sure that you added the Famitsu review score.

Looks like this may be the first non-metadarling Metroid in a while.

Gonna play the game a week early in London.

GameSpot has the first 20 minutes of gameplay.

*refuses to click*

I have to say I can't argue with that!

Hmm, this clip isn't working for me, gonna check it out on the site itself!

GoNintendo (the site's review) has given the game  7.2/10.

Looks like some big Nintendo fans are the ones who are criticizing the game the most. As one of those pretty big Nintendo fans, I'm starting to get worried. Especially since I was never really won over by the game in the first place...

EDIT!

And IGN has given the game an 8.5/10

Damn, I read the IGN review. Sounds good to me except the item "upgrading" mechanic they used for this game. Why Sakamoto decided to do it in that way?

pre-ordered the game from amazon, in order to get $20 dollar credit. In the meantime i'm downloading the game, couldn't wait for the game to be shipped since i lov metroid. About to finish my download will post impressions later.
