Metroid, a classic 2D game of fun shooting and jumping around in a big red/orange suit. Most of us will remember playing this game at some point in their childhood. Those who don't probably played Pokemon or Mario (they're all good). Well, a new Metroid game has arrived. Announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009, Other M will delve deeper into Samus' (main character) story. Although already released, this article is designed to be an incentive for you to buy the game. Hence "preview". "Preview" also means "I haven't played this game yet."INFO:
Other M is produced by Nintendo, created by Team-M a combined group of Nintendo, Team Ninja and D-Rockets. It is a return to the main series, not Prime and is released on Wii.
Release dates:
North America, August 31, 2010
Japan September 2, 2010
Australia September 2, 2010
Europe September 3, 2010
Story:
The story revolves (as usual) around Samus Aran, a bounty hunter in a big suit. The game is chronologically placed between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. The story is fairly complex unlike most other Nintendo games.
Gameplay:
Other M is the first Metroid game to feature first person sniping. While you can't move when in this sniping mode, you have increased accuracy, a neat crosshair to aim with, lock targets and see enemies in cool 1st person view. The sniping mode is also used for exploring to discover hidden items. Other M is also the first game in the entire series to feature a melee combat system that require some timing (like combos). You can use the Sense Move to dodge enemy attacks, Counter attack to counter attack, Lethal Strike and Overblast (for finishing moves) and Concentration Tecnique for regenerating health.
Special Features:
If the right goals are matched, players can unlock a special two hour film that contains every cut scene in the game and some clips of gameplay by the developers. FUN!
