 A linear gamecube port, bad camera angles, but excellent controls December 29, 2007
4 out of 14 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
4 out of 6 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!!!!!!
 One of the Best for Wii!! December 16, 2007

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.
