Been playing Metroid other M for a few weeks now. I know that it had gotten some mixed reviews when it was released but I thought it was a great game. The third person and first person perspectives worked pretty well to me.
The cutscenes and story are what really set it apart from previous Metroid and  really other Nintendo games in general. Samus actually spoke and had a voice, which was cool to hear. The game takes place right after Super Metroid (waaaaaaaaay back on the SNES).
Gameplay is excellent too, it was a nice change from the Prime series (which were amazing games) and their first person view. Awesome game, my only real complaint was that it weren’t longer. However there is an epilogue after finishing it, so that extends gameplay a bit.
