 Prime at its best!!! January 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is by far the best of the last 3 Metroid games. Not only the game play is something that you've never experienced before but the details in the game is what I really liked. Complete the logbook and get special rewards, are the things that make it better than its predecessors. It is very dinamic and there is more history involved giving a great ending to the Prime trilogy.
THE GOOD:
- The controllers work pretty good. They are a little hard to get used to, but once you do, everything else would feel awkward.
- There is more history involved! And let's say that Samus is not completely alone for these missions.
- New weapons that are fun to use, interactive controls.
THE BAD: - I hate to say it but there is still the famous "door lag" that previous games had. I really don't know how they have not fixed this problem, most of the time you try to open a door by shooting at it, it takes a couple of seconds for it to open, sometimes you have to move sideways and shoot again to make it work. I'm really tired of it.
ONE LAST THING: This game is easier to complete than its predecessors. I don't know if that is good or bad. Personally I don't like easy games, but previous Metroid games were extremely hard and annoying, so for me it's a plus. However if you like the challenge, you can always try the hard mode. This game has also some side quest that are interesting to complete.

 one word.......FUN!!! January 8, 2008
this is an awesome game. great graphics,great gameplay, aand great enemies! the only problems i have with the game is that the lock on doesent always lock on, and some of the boss fights can get pretty tedious.
overall:
graphics: 4 out of 5
gameplay: 5 out of 5
sound: 4 out of 5
tilt: 4 out of 5
overall: 4 out of 5
definatly better than metroid prime or metroid prime 2:echoes. i highly recommend it for any wii owners!
It's an extraordinary game, December 29, 2007

Despite I own another shooters like Call of Duty 4, and Zelda The Twilight Princess, I don't think this one should be considered a "shooter" game. This is first person action, and you have to solve puzzles. The graphics are awesome, and the sound is of outstanding quality. 5 stars is my rating. If you are looking for a gift for a "Wii Fan", like me, you can take this and nobody complain about it.
 A linear gamecube port, bad camera angles, but excellent controls December 29, 2007
4 out of 15 found this review helpful
Nintendo has the Wii controls tight and intuitive in this bland, linear shooter. The character's pellet gun and silly puzzles make this game a yawner after the first hour. It wants to be clever by making you perform absurd tricks and moves by crouching into a ball. The camera angles can be annoying at times and the graphics are hardly stellar. Mario Galaxy and Zelda make much better use of the graphics engine on the Wii. Save your money and rent this lame game.
One of the Greatest for the Wii! December 18, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Metroid Prime 3 is a perfect example of a game for the Wii that can literally sweep over a hundred games comin' out these days. Back in 2004 is the first time I played a Metroid Prime game and that game was Metroid Prime 2 Echoes for the Gamecube which I did not like at all. Tha game was really slow paced, no voices which maes the game a little enclosed to be being realistic and the controls were horrendous: a normal first person shooter allows you aim and run at the same time but this game didn't and I found that extremely frustrating which is why I couldn't even finish 10% of the game. BUT Metroid Prime 3 fixes thos problems and makes it one of the greatest games for the Wii, maybe even one of the greatest games of all time.
The first thing I liked about MP3 than the previous 2 games were the controls, it takes a while at first to get the controls cuz there are a lot of buttons but once you get it down it almost becomes second nature. The second thing I liked was the inclusion of voice acting, it made the game feel more alive rather than just cutscenes with movement with barely emotion. The third and last thing is the fact that it was more straightforward, fans from the previous two may dislike that but in my opinion its better, it makes the game flow much better and smoother, theres not as much backtracking as there was in the previous 2.
There are bad things about the game too. First is the lack of multiplayer, there was a multiplayer in MP2 Echoes but it was horrendous basically because of crappy controls, but sine the controls for MP3 is better, it would of been a nice inclusion to add multiplayer. The second is the loading times, the creators decided to disguise the loading times with cutscenes with Samus's ship which is good, BUT they also disguised the loading times with the doors that u are suppose to shoot in order to open, THIS WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, it takes almost literally 5 seconds maybe even 10 just for the doors to open and if you add that to the gameplay it rounds up to being 45 minutes wasted just waiting for doors to open and thats a lot of time., especially thos times when your in battle and trying to run and your still waiting for the door to open. There are few little things bad about this game and thats a very good thing.
GRADING
- Story - 3/5 (not that interesting but at least there's voice acting)
- Graphics - 5/5 (amazing for at least Wii's standards)
- Sound - 5/5 (the music is great and the sound of the creatures is great as well)
- Gameplay - 5/5 (the wii controls is the thing that makes this game, the game wouldn't be 1/2 as fun without the new wii controls)
- Longevity - 3/5 (after u beat the game, thats pretty much it)
Overall a Great Game Period!!!!!!
