eighthphaseAnd then I got invited to a Brawl party, so that was cool. I actually didn't think I'd be able to make it, since I had no ride and no way of letting mum know where I'd be, but she got home about five minutes after I got the invite, which I then promptly forgot about since she had my copy of Other M. ♥ And then I remembered to ask, so I went to the party.
It was pretty fun; I basically always got third or fourth place, except for that one time when I somehow managed to stay on the stage when everyone else fell off during a shift. I also basically always played as Samus, though I tried Zero Suit Samus a few times and I played as Olimar for one round.
Before everyone else got there, though, I was able to play about half an hour of Other M. I didn't get very far (obviously), but I did enjoy what I got to play. The controls work really well and I like the voice acting. The area of the Bottle Ship I was in was really dark, though; it was hard to see. (I probably could have upped the brightness, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the Wii and its controller, so...) So I got lost for a few minutes. I fought a boss fight, too! Well, probably it was a miniboss, but still. That fight was... an experience. "Oh hey, that looks like I should shoot missiles at it." Cutscene. "Uh... okay, well... oh hey, I got in a shot!" Cutscene. "It's not doing anything because you keep interrupting me when I'm trying to shoot at it!!" Cutscene. And then regular fighting. I liked how the marines had a part in the fight, but I didn't really care for waiting around for them to do their thing, so that I could do my thing.
That's about as far as I got; I think I killed the boss but we turned off the Wii during the ensuing cutscene, since everyone else chose that moment to arrive. I wish I'd had more time... hell, I wish I could, you know, play the whole game. I mean, it pairs together two of my favourite things: Metroid and plot. What's not to like?
