My complaint about the opening cutscene isn't that it skipped the majority of the fight. It's that it cut out before we got to see Samus in full blown Mama Bear mode. A charged shot? That is not the Hyper Beam I remember.
I was trying the game on someone else's console, so no, I didn't play the tutorial. I grasped the basics of the controls readily enough, and still did not enjoy it. It didn't feel like a sidescroller to me, it felt like an awkward third-person shooter-platformer on a plane with some jumping involved. Not the same thing.
Long story short, I did not enjoy Other M, and I'd rather just play the Prime series if I have a hankering for 3D Metroid. Sorry to disappoint, but different people get to have different tastes.
