BEST WII GAME YET!!!!

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is finally here making the launch of the Wii feel complete. Gamers around the world have been patiently waiting for Retro Studios to release the final installment of the Prime series, and grace their not-yet-fully-tested console. For those of you naysayers out there that thought the Wii was incapable of being cool, you have been proven wrong. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not be wholly original, but the control scheme sets the standard for first person shooters for ALL consoles.

The graphics are the best we've seen on the Wii, the sounds are classic, and the boss battles are everything you'd expect from a Metroid title. If you're tired of creating Miis, you've re-beaten all the Zelda games on the Virtual Console, and want a single player challenge to accompany the fine collection of Wii party titles, Samus and her fellow hunters will not disappoint.

Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption will have you, Samus Aran, team up with fellow bounty hunters to foil the latest dastardly attempt by the Space Pirates against the Galactic Federation. This time a virus has been spread that has attacked Federation technology. The corruption of computer systems and the compromising of key networks has plunged the Federation into chaos. Luckily for us, this means a galaxy-spanning adventure through amazing alien worlds. The environments, creatures, and boss battles are all masterfully created. The title is truly entertaining from beginning to end, and I simply cannot say enough about how fun and creative the boss battles are. Cruising around the worlds is great, but taking on the honchos and besting them while utilizing all your available skills is a thing of beauty. You will have to use all of Samus' powers and abilities in coordinated combination, often in inventive ways. If you use the abilities harmoniously, you should have no problems advancing past the mega foes she'll face.

Best Metroid EVER

Five years ago, the first-person adventure Metroid Prime re-invented Nintendo's famous science-fiction franchise about a space-traveling female bounty hunter. Now, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has re-invented the way the series is played, unarguably for the better. If you were on board Samus Aran's Hunter-Class Gunship for the critically acclaimed first outing and its sequel, you will be ready for the third and final act in the trilogy because, at least from a design standpoint, there haven't been too many major changes. The heroine still explores exotic alien terrain and fights fearsome alien creatures, and the re-traversal backbone that has powered Metroid projects since the NES classic .

I am addicted

The heroine still explores exotic alien terrain and fights fearsome alien creatures, and the re-traversal backbone that has powered Metroid projects since the NES classic that started it all remains completely and thankfully intact. So if you've never liked these titles, Corruption probably isn't going to make you a believer, even with its enhanced graphics and spectacular new controls. If, on the other hand, you'd rather play with Samus than, say, Master Chief, Retro's Wii-overhauled new addition to the Prime family is going to take you on a great, satisfying ride that you won't soon forget. Indeed, as far as we're concerned, the Texas-based studio has made Wii's best game.

Corruption is the evolution of the Prime series and a game that is very highly polished in nearly every respect. It's got better control. Better pacing. Better visuals. Better cinematics. And better bonuses. Yet, even with all of these improvements, it still feels and looks very familiar to its predecessors, which is both a statement of praise and criticism. You will recognize the blueprint and style of a winning formula and at the same time you aren't likely to experience the downpour of surprises that overwhelmed you upon playing the original Prime -- an endeavor that brought Samus into the third dimension without sacrificing the guts of the 2D efforts. There is also no getting around the fact that 2002's Prime featured cutting-edge graphics for its time and Corruption instead boasts cutting-edge graphics on Wii. What Retro has done with Nintendo's underpowered console is nothing short of amazing, of course, but if you dare to compare Prime 3's visuals to games beyond Wii, you'll notice a chasm in technology. The artistry? We'd pit it against anything on the high-definition-ready consoles with confidence.

If you've never played a Metroid Prime game before, we'll give you the footnotes now. You jump into the armored shoes of Samus Aran, a stoic-cool blonde heroine who lets her beams do the talking. As the most trusted bounty hunter in the business, she's regularly contracted by the galactic Federation to do battle with Space Pirates, an evil race of menacing aliens obsessed with life-draining blobs called Metroids and a toxic substance called Phazon. Metroid games always start Samus off devoid of any major abilities and challenge you to upgrade her as you explore atmospheric locales. You'll see places that you cannot enter or reach along the way an

Whether you are a Metroid fan or not, this is a must have. The top of the charts has got to be it's new gameplay. Amazing interaction pulls you into this world. Flip switches, grab levers, push buttons, or just shooting away at Space Pirates puts you in the suit. The graphics have much improved along with a much in depth story line. Unlockables will introduce you to the original ideas of this long awaited game, and it's great music will set the mood. Whether it be miles above the surface of Elysia, or deep into the Phazon mines. You'll find yourself fighting your way through this game. As you become more and more corrupt, your mind begins to indulge in the power.

AWESOME GAME!

MP3 is the best game that I have played on the Wii. Everything about this game is top notch. Graphics, Controls, Story, its all there. The controls for this game are the best of any first-person shooter ever made. It is easily the the best looking Wii game by far. The cut scenes are awesome. You will have to buy this game because nobody in their right mind whould ever trade this game.

My first Metroid PRIME game!

Game Play: I classified this as a first person adventure/shooter in the brief overview. In the game, you are trying to stop the spread of the enemy. There are four main planets in the game where most of the game play will happen. You will travel to the different planets to stop the spread of the enemy. You will find out you sometimes can’t accomplish goals without a proper suit/weapon upgrade, and that upgrade may be on a planet you visited earlier in the game. This is where I consider Metroid Prime 3 to be more of the adventure/exploration type game than a first person shooter type. It forces you to explore the different sections of each planet and get suit/weapon upgrades to complete parts of the game. The game was well paced in the fact of keeping the adventure/shooting going. Many times you will work your way through an area on the map, get a suit/weapon expansion, and then almost immediately find yourself in a situation to use the new expansion in battle.
Graphics: I’ve played many Wii games and I thought the graphics in Metroid Prime 3 were really great and the art style was a great choice. I hope that other developers see what Retro did and take notes. I would like to see more FPS type games on the Wii with Metroid’s type graphics. The Wii may be only slightly upgraded from the GC, but that shouldn’t give developers a reason to not push the hardware. I thought the animations of death scenes of different bosses were done really well.
Level Design: I thought that the levels were pretty well thought out, especially Elysia and Bryyo. Elysia is a sky town (think Cloud City from Star Wars). I thought one of Bryyo’s puzzles was extremely difficult to figure out when trying to get 100% of the items, but it made me think(and appreciate how much effort Retro put into making the game with quality play time).
Sound: The sound in the game was a varied assortment. I really enjoyed how the music changed according to what parts of the planets you were on and I really thought that the music did a great job with setting the correct moods for the game. The voice acting was really good and the sound effects of your ship, weapons, and enemies were all done properly, adding to the game, not taking anything away or being annoying in anyway.
Replay Value: Again, this was my first Metroid Prime game to play. My total game play time for all three difficulties so far has been 55 hours.
Adding to the replay value of the game is the fact that they included two bonus endings.

The overall score of the game is the average of scores from the:
Controls: 9 out of 10
Game Play: 10 out of 10
Graphics: 10 out of 10
Level Design: 9 out of 10
Sound: 10 out of 10
Replay Value: 10 out of 10
Money's Worth: 10 out of 10

This is an amazing game! The graphics are stunning especially for the wii. The controls are the best first person controls I have ever seen. The only thing that I have to dislike about this game was the fact that the last boss was too easy for my taste.
