 One of the Best for Wii!! December 16, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
First off, I'd like to say that I am NOT a fan of games that the player basically needs a game guide to follow it and get remotley close to beating it. Metroid Prime 3 is that game BUT it is absolutley great. The graphics are possilby the best I have ever seen on the Wii, the controls are extremely smooth and precise and the story is fairly good. I have never played a Metroid game before this but now I already can see why it is one of Nintendo's best franchises. The boss fights are challenging but can be fun while combat against space pirates gets consistanly harder as the game progresses. One problem: anyone who doesn't like solving long, sometimes irritaing puzzles, use the IGN.com game guide. It probably saved my Wii from being thrown across my computer room(and it's free, unlike the $[...] game guides).
 Must have for Wii Owners December 14, 2007

Currently my two favorite FPS games are Metroid Prime 3 and Halo 3. I lean towards Metroid because I enjoy the single player experience more than that of the one Halo offers. The experience is a lot longer and the inclusion of puzzles adds to the enjoyment.
If you are wanting a more immersive/interactive single player experience this is your game. If you are looking for great online multiplayer action go with Halo.

 Great game but disc reading problems December 13, 2007

I Love this game for the wii. The controls handle beautifully and story line keeps it interesting. My only complaint is the fact that I get a DISC cannot be read error randomly, which until as of late, has been remedied by powering the Wii down and then back on again. Last night however, I couldn't get the disc to read at all after several attempts. Other disc's in my game collection worked just fine, but after putting MP3C back in, same error.
I had similar problems with a Sonic and the Secret rings game, but sold it days after I got it just because I didn't like the game. I wonder if it's just my Disc, or if others have this problem. A Wii update is needed when you first play this game so i also wonder if it's the console.
I just tried again to see if it would work today...booted into the game and went straight to game play w/o a hitch. I'm sure I haven't seen the last of the disc read errors though.

On November 15, 2002 the original Metroid Prime released and to great acclaim. It was widely regarded that the series' first step into 3D was a very successful one and the game was loved. I only rented it at first, never having played a Metroid game before, but soon fell in love with it. About half way through the game I stopped and bought it.
On November 15, 2004 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes went into stores with anticipation. Sadly, it wasn't as good as the first in the series and received sales that matched its decline. I bought it on release and enjoyed it, but it simply wasn't as good as the first in the series.
On August 27, 2007 Metroid Prime 3: Corruption jumped onto the gaming scene. It was much looked forward to by fans of the series and sported what was called "the best control style ever made for a first-person-shooter." I looked forward to it after playing the first two, but was somewhat skeptical. It looked amazing, but I wondered. "Did they turn my Metroid into a FPS?" It was said over and over that there was more emphasis on combat and shooting, but also that it was still Metroid.
Two days after official release I got the game and realized after only fifteen minutes that this is what Metroid is supposed to be. First of all--there's voice acting. Don't worry, Samus doesn't talk, but everyone else does. Personally I think it's a step forward. The graphics are stunning and everything looks flat out amazing. If you were waiting for good graphics on the Wii, well here they are. These are, for now, the best on the console. It might not have the power of a Halo or something like that, but it uses its graphical abilities in better ways. Next is the control set-up. Whoever said it was the best for a first person shooter wasn't lying and they weren't paid to say that. You'll never want to play an FPS again with dual-analog.
Now I have to say a few bad things. First of all--the original Prime and even the sequel had these gigantic worlds to explore. There were huge areas all inter-connected with doors or blockades you couldn't get past without a specific weapon and you never really knew what weapon that was. But here... there are short paths and one-way areas where you have really no choice but to go forward. And the Galactic Federation always seems to be telling you where to go over a headset. It kind of breaks the silence and feels awkward. Reminds me of the Navigation Rooms in Fusion. Maybe I'm just over-analyzing... Next: the game babies you too much. Reach a door you can't open and when you scan it it says "You don't have the upgrade needed to open that door. A blast of extreme heat/cold/whatever might open it." I don't like that. It makes it too easy.
The same thing goes for bosses. If you scan one you'll basically be told exactly how to beat it. Too easy. Sure, the bosses pose some amount of challenge and can take a while to beat, but I like to figure stuff out. Okay, last complaint: you'll get to places where you're constantly being shot at while you try to operate some levers or something and you'll get hit over and over and over again and when you've finally done with what you need to you'll see that you've only lost about one energy tank! It's like their shots don't do anything! Too easy. I recommend you put it on professional mode if you want a real challenge. Don't get me wrong--it's not a cakewalk, but it's not hard either.
Okay, enough bad. I love controlling the ship. I love operating levers and stuff where it actually makes you turn the Nunchuck or Wiimote accordingly. I love Hypermode. I love rapid-firing the Plasma Beam. I love the Sky Bridges and the Steam Lords and all the kooky robots. I love not having Light and Dark worlds and not having to run around the world endlessly, though some wandering is good. This is probably the best of all three Metroid Primes, but it doesn't come without minor flaws. If you're a shooter fan you'll love it. If you're a Metroid fan you'll love it. If you're a video game fan you'll love it. This is one of those games that anyone can enjoy and if you have a Wii there's really no excuse to not getting it.
In closing, this is just an amazing game. I wish there was more memorable music like Phendrana Drifts and Magmoor Caverns and the ship landing area of Prime 1 or like Torvus Bog or the opening theme of Prime 2, but I guess I can look past that. It's a tad short as I completed it in just under fourteen and a half hours, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it kept fast-paced. I know I've said a few bad things about the game, but that's really just nit-picking. This game is still amazing and worth every cent I paid for it. Go out and buy it now. If you don't have the money for it then go make the money because you should have this game. I would make this review longer, but I'm going to go play Metroid now...
