After all of the internet bitching regarding Samus's voice in Metroid:  Other M, I became puzzled.  In general, her voice acting is really not that bad.  Does her narration sound flat?  Yes it does, but it's a matter-of-fact tone that one might adopt while recalling past events.  Listen to her actual dialogue with other characters, and the tone and emotion is there, and it's rather well done.  In general, if there's anything wrong with Samus's dialogue, it's the fault of a script with an over-dependence on narration (i.e.:  telling, rather than showing), and some at-times clunky writing; elements over which the voice actors have no direct control.
