I have quick question. I am playing Metroid Other M and I have just made it to sector 3, the lava section of the game. I have played about 7 hours, Why is it said that this game is 10 to 11 hours? Am I ridiculously slow or something? I just wanted to know.

Took me 11 hours for 100%. So either you're slow, or you're more close to the end than you thought.

Took me about 10 hours for 100%. But thats only because of the cutscenes taking a bit of length.

I have a good amount of time on that game but I havent beaten it yet. Im stuck on the last boss, The Mother Brain... anybody else find that boss unbearably hard to beat after the first 50 tries? lol.

Off the top of my head I believe that it took me around 15 or so hours to beat it. I always take my time while playing games that I really like, so dont feel bad for not completing the game in the time others have said you should.

6.5 hours on my first play through. I don't remember what percent of items I got but I have not had the urge to go back and get 100%.

i got stuck shortly after the two worms (nearish the start of the game, maybe about 3-5 hours in). after u fight those two worms from the ceiling, a little while later i get to a long warehouse style room with projectors to turn on or off, with a door down the far end, but its up really hig hand i couldnt figure out how to get there. never bothered with a walk through, instead just playing otehr stuff on otehr consoles in the mean time.

Did everyone determine the hours by their save file? I am up to the part where adam goes into sector zero, and my file says I have play for 9 hours, but the actual playtime from the Wii itself says I have played for much longer.

yea, my save file says 13 hours...but nintendo channel says 15...

i think nintendo channel counts all time that the game is playing... even if you pause it to go to the bathroom.

Even excluding time doing mandatory bodily things like drinking and going to bathroom, I still played more hours than what the game's counter says.

Could be due to the number of times you died and had to backtrack because of it. The game may not pick the duration due to deaths in between saves.

you misunderstood me... i said the nintendo channel COUNTS EVERYTHING..even bathroom time. BUT the game counter stops when you pause and stuff.

I understood it, and I am saying I have been playing more than what it says. I doubt that the game has spent five hours or more on pause. I beat the final boss and don't get why they gave you the power bombs at the end other than to get the items inside certain areas you couldn't get to before.

well, got past that spot i was stuck on. didnt notice the fuzzy wall i could bomb through. NOW i am stuck just after the ice beam because my morph ball won't work anymore!!!! if i press A to use morph ball all samus does is stand there motionless until i switch to first person mode and wiggle around a bit. I have restarted the console but its still like this. anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

My recommendation is to enjoy the game, don't worry about the length as long as you enjoy it. Certainly Other M is not too large but you can do a second round in a harder difficulty. I think you're at a good pace too

Reviewers to me always over exaggerate the time required to play a game. Other M took me about 16 hours to complete and 18 to get 100%. It's not a super long game compared to other Metroid games but I'm thorough and if you want there is a lot to explore in the game.

That's about three hours short of the ending, so I think you're okay.

My first play through took 10 hours with 71%. Second play through took 14 hours to get 100%. Taking the time to fully explore is half the fun of the game.

I finished 100% in just less than 17 hours by the game's clock. I know technically played more minus bathroom breaks and eating.

Can't really remember how long it took me to 100%...I think like 12 hours. It is a short game. Shame on you Nintendo.
