This here is the reason I haven't posted in this topic before.

But now I have to wonder, how is it this thread hasn't been devoted entirely to Metroid Other M?
Rarely have I ever seen such a huge amount of fail in a sequel to one of Nintendo's core franchises. I've seen most people complain about the story and characterization to the point where I'm starting to suspect these aspects may have been designed to be bitched about in order to draw attention away from the horrid gameplay.
This thing takes the mandatory linearity of Fusion and complements it with the worst controls I've experienced in a 3D game since MegamanX7. It doesn't feel at all like a Metroid game, and I'd only consider it passable if it was a third party game made by a small emergent developer.
