It's your review, your opinion.  I would think it's unprofessional to write a review for some phantom audience that you don't actually agree with.  It's your name on the review, not theirs.  I'd rather see writers take a stand and have an opinion (even if I don't agree with it, like I don't agree with the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow reviews) than read "Well, if you're a fan of X, Y, and Z, you might like this" reviews.

You got me, am a fanboy, but i got a question, would you agree that Other M is a 6 quality game?

In my personal opinion, it's a 7.5 or so.  However, given how weak the storytelling is; how rigidly linear the game's structure is; the insistence upon Wiimote-only controls that can (IMO) be painful during extended play; and the damage that game does to Samus' character, I can totally understand why someone would go lower.  Despite its problems, I fairly enjoyed Other M, but that doesn't make my opinion any more "right" than anyone else's.

Its true that the story is weak, but gameplay wise the game is a blast once you get a hang of the controls, and the game has some pretty good graphics, i would give it a solid 8.5.

I just finished playing the first two levels, and so far the game is very good, a few minor controller hicups specially with the automatic Z targeting, but other than that the controls are very good, graphic wise, for a wii game is very good looking, and it has the goldeneye feeling due to some very good level recreations.

^yes i know but if you dont like a game that does not mean others are not going to enjoy it specially a metroid title, i know other m was not metroids best, but its a damn good game, and to give it a low score just because you dont like its un professional.

What if it was THE SAME GAME? 

Some levels are 2-D and others 3-D.

Didn't Galaxy 2 basically feature that?

yes, but it was not actually 2d, its the games camera system playing tricks.

great discussion about the magazine trends, i recently wrote to an game informer editor called Phil Collar cause his reviews on nintendo games are very bad and very one sided, he gave metroid other m a 6, and the reasons are abismal, i could agree if the games have some flaws but giving a game a 6 because you dont like it , thats just stupid, and then you have another guitar hero and they gave it an 8, magazines have gotten too political for my taste but this crossed the line.

sounds like a nice review, i knew activision would put some effort into it, since this games carries all of the fanbase of the n64 goldeneye.

thats not a bad idea actually, it worked on mario galaxy 2, although it wasnt really 2d, but looked like it.

Did you take some time to adjust the controls to your liking?

You can't adjust how the grenade is thrown.

thats right and the slightest move will trigger it.

It didn't suck; it wasn't anything special, but it was a solid, decent game. That, and the very positive press coming out of E3, as well as the sense of mediocrity surrounding this game and my being tired of Call of Duty, leads me to Conduit 2.

the graphics were ok, but the controls were a mess, did you try throw a granade?, and the story was mediocre at best. its not one of the wii worst game, but far from the best.

i think the wii will catch the ps2 once nintendo lowers the price to 129.99, that will reach mass market masses.

the classic controller is not my favorite, but gets the job done, cause i rather play goldeneye with the CC than motion controls.

The only thing I can think of is that when they cut the price of the Wii from $249 to $199 that might have brought to the point where they were suffering a loss with each unit sold, but I don't know if that's true or not.

It isn't true, the Wii has a really high mark-up so Nintendo makes a lot of profit on it. This is just one example of why Nintendo can't go around buying up game companies, they need to be prepared for possible losses.
