These statements make me so sad.

Ignore the story and you still have a battle.

Both have the same linearity level. Both stories are bad, and both have similar ambient music.

Wut?

Sratch that, I think I remember now, she was either 19-20 in the first game. She was 17 when she was in the federation. 

I have to be honest I have not finished Other M yet, but so far Fusion is way better. You forgot controls, and Other M has super weak controls. I like fusions story better also (to be fair story isn't the number one reason I play these games), Not just the content of it, but the way it is told. the search for upgrades (health and rockets) feels way better in Fusion, honestly it's the part of Other M I like the least so far. I haven't given up on other M yet, but it's not looking too hot, still seems better than most gamers give it credit for though.

This kind of post is always funny.

I have not played other M. But alas, you did nothing to waver my opinion into thinking its a bad game. Or did you think adding "period" would make all the difference?

Right, I remember the two hours plus of cutscenes filled with Samus's horribly monotonous inner dialogue in Fusion. Thanks for reminding me.

lolwut. I haven't played Other M, but you can't be serious when you say Fusion's story is bad. It's pretty interesting, and the ending leaves huge possibilities for the sequel.

Metroid as a whole has a great setting/backstory, and so far, they've used it pretty well (haven't played the Prime trilogy either). I just hope they don't waste it on the next game.

From the Metroids I have played (Super, Prime Trilogy, Fusion and Other M) story is not good or outstanding.
