The Other M

As a long time Metroid fan, I was excited to hear about a new Metroid game, especially one that breaks from the recent Prime template of first person perspective. I don't have a Wii, but this game may be the reason to finally get one, or wait a year and get a used one and this game at over half off. That would rule.

At any rate, it'll be interesting to see how the game develops. It's described as an "action brawler" whatever that means. Sounds like it'll use good-old fashioned controls, and not the gimicky Wii wand.

Or whatever it's called.

I was skeptical about Metroid Prime, especially when I learned it would be first-person. I enjoyed that game and its sequel, though - but perhaps not as much as if they'd done something along the lines of Shadow Complex. The trailer for The Other M looks awesome, with a mixture of 2D and 3D gameplay. Hopefully the right mixture. I never played God of War, but I did play Devil May Cry, and that kind of action is just what the Metroid universe needs.
