Metroid Other M (PC) and System Requirements

THE OTHER M is an old-school platform shooter, (features fast-paced combat) only equipped with the new innovations that enhance rather (extremely high quality Cut scenes) than hinder the true character of the game. Samus Aran can now move in 3D (you can switch between third-p. and first-person perspectives), yet this is and feels like a classic platform game. There is some puzzle-solving and expect to spend quite some time in the form of a morphing ball, (the boss fights are tough but far from unfair) zipping through pipes, bypassing obstacles, unlocking security doors and finding powerups; and the Fps perspective is still available to deliver devastating missile shots (learn about Samus Aran's past with voice-acted cut-scenes). Nevertheless, this is an pure action-shooter game that is greatly enjoyable.

Visually this must be the best game I ever played on PC, (good story) with nice and distinct environments than never get boring and never interfere with the gameplay. And, following the tradition of the classic Metroid games, (tucks into a morph ball) the THE OTHER M experience is enhanced by good orchestral music. Nothing epic, but it sure fits the mood of the scene it accompanies.

THE OTHER M is a tad story-heavier than (tons of fun to play) I would have liked and the cinematic sequences are unskipable(?) whereas, annoyingly, the story at times throws Samus in the midst of her enemies with minimal firepower and often without her Varia suit.
