"Mr. Obvious" indeed! It was all I could do not to hold up the "you don't say?" face every time she said something.

And I have no problem with including bosses from the classic games, but again, the way they went about it was terrible; they just shoehorned them in for no reason other than that they could. I mean, how were Nightmare and Phantoon significant to the overall plot? This was fanwank at its worst.

And "retarded" is the nice way of putting it; idiotic, sexist and utterly insulting come to mind. If anyone can give me some reasons why they gave every woman in this thing high heels, I'd love to hear them.

Actually, I kinda liked Anthony; regardless of whether or not he had a "thing" for Samus, he was still easily the most likeable character in the game.... Which isn't saying much: The rest of the supporting cast was a bunch of generic soldiers.

Truth be told, there WERE some good plot points in Other M: I liked the idea behind MB, and the concept behind resurrecting Ridley, but they totally botched THOSE, too: they did NOTHING to explore the reason why Ridley retained his devious, sadistic personality (or why he looked like a spiky duck), and - although she was the centrepoint of the entire plot - the story of MB was sidelined/ignored for most of the game in favour of long, asinine flashbacks and rants. Sakamoto had some good ideas, but he seems to have made a point of adding as much bad stuff as possible.
