The new issue of Famitsu magazine in Japan has the first review, and by and large it's pretty complimentary -- Nintendo and Tecmo's collaborative effort got three 9's and one 8 for a total of 35 points.</p> <p>The sheer variety of moves available to Samus in Other M received adulation from nearly every one of Famitsu's reviewers. &quot;The Sense Move lets you move quickly and easily dodge attacks, which make the controls feel really good,&quot; one said. &quot;You occasionally lose track of where you're going next, but that in itself is very Metroid-like. Switching to first-person by holding the remote vertically also works surprisingly well.&quot; &quot;There's a wide variety of moves available, but Sense Move is by far the best,&quot; another added. &quot;It allows even casual gamers to enjoy the battles well enough.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;It's impressive how many moves are at your disposal, especially considering the lack of buttons,&quot; a third editor wrote. &quot;Switching to first-person instantly takes some getting used to, but you can use it in both exploration and combat and it gives the game a very fun Metroid-like vibe.&quot;</p> <p>The writers also had praise for Other M's exploring and fighting aspects. &quot;Every map has tons of stuff to interact with, and some of the puzzles can be hard to solve,&quot; one said, &quot;but the feeling you get when working them out is something else. The bosses work the same way; they all require some sort of trick to defeat.&quot;</p> <p>The chief complaints the reviewers had with the new Metroid all had to do with the difficulty. &quot;The game's tough, making you wish for a difficulty selector at times,&quot; one writer said, &quot;but the high-tempo action and dramatic story are enough to keep you enthralled.&quot; Another brought up &quot;the way minion-level enemies respawn&quot; as &quot;debatably annoying.&quot;</p> <p>Other M officially comes out August 31 in the States. &quot;</p> <p><a href="http://www.1up.com/news/famitsu-rates-metroid" rel="nofollow">http://www.1up.com/news/famitsu-rates-metroid</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=1263#post-12172 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:40:56 +0000 Ireland Michael 12172@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>One of the title's I'm most looking forward to this year.</p> <p>Day one. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=1263#post-12171 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:36:44 +0000 mington 12171@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>AWESOME.com<br /> <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/past-is-metroid-other/703246" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametrailers.com/video/past-is-metroid-other/703246</a> </p>
