Metroid Other M

• Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran returns to her side-scrolling roots for an all new adventure in “Metroid: Other M.” The storyline takes place directly after 1994’s “Super Metroid” and before the “Metroid Fusion” games. The campaign delves deeper into Samus’ personal history. Samus, along with a Galactic Federation platoon led by Adam, must explore an abandoned ship. On the way, Samus experiences flashbacks to past missions with Adam revealing new facets about her background. While still action-packed, “Metroid: Other M” concentrates on the story. If you’ve ever wondered about the history of Samus Aran, this Nintendo title answers all your questions.The makers of the Ninja Gaiden series bring fast-paced combat, a cinematic presentation, and distinctive controls to the game. This Nintendo title is primarily played while holding the Wii Remote horizontally. Samus mainly blasts aliens to pieces with her blaster, though now she cis able to get up close and personal with foes. For the first time in these games, melee moves are now part of her repertoire. When an enemy is low on health, she dispatches them with a flurry of punches and kicks. You find plenty of familiar weapons as you explore, including the Ice Beam and the Varia Suit. In addition to the weapons, there are some of the NES franchise’s classic enemies. In this game, the evil dragon Ridley returns for one last battle with Samus.This Metroid Prime Nintendo title takes place on a starship, yet it still offers a variety of environments. This ship was home to a number of experiments, each conducted in their own individual ecosystem. You travel across forests, through lava-filled environments, and into ice-covered caves. Each room holds a number of secrets. By thoroughly exploring the environment, Samus finds extra energy and weapons. The number of hidden secrets doubles the content found in the game. While the game takes 10 hours to complete, if you’re looking for every secret, it takes roughly 20 hours. “Metroid: Other M” goes back to the series roots by introducing a third-person view, letting you see all of Samus. However, the game still uses the first-person perspective for certain actions. For example, the game uses a first-person view for scanning environments or shooting specific targets. Switch between views instantly by pointing the Wii Remote directly at the screen.Nintendo’s goal when creating “Metroid: Other M”was to create the first truly cinematic Metroid experience. Series co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto approached Team Ninja to handle both the story and gameplay duties. Developer D-Rockets was placed on cut scene duty. By relegating different teams to work on separate aspects of the video game, each category is equally strong. This Metroid Prime title has a rating of T from the ESRB. The rating stems from the use of animated blood and violence. As a Wii game, Other M is compatible with the Wii U system as well. The Wii controls give you plenty of opportunity for active gameplay, keeping this adventure game engaging and exhilarating for hours.
