Metroid Prime 3: Corruption reviews

I understand it’s been sometime since this game has been released. Those in the know of quality Nintendo franchises will have already nabbed this one, and played it through to death twice over at least, but this is for the ones who have a dormant Nintendo gathering dust looking for a great game, those not in the know, those who value games based on screen resolution and cosmetics and because everyone plays them.

Forget anything else you’ve played on any other system. Nothing rivals this.

Let’s get it out there for the record. This game and all other Metroid prime series games in FPS guise on GCN and Wii are what I think, the epitome of what a video game ought to be. I don’t know where to start with describing this to anyone. It is cliché, but to make this a helpful review I will say that you need to get this game and experience it.

I’m not a fan boy, and I played many games in my time of all sorts of genres and systems. I have seen them all, and I know a good game when I see one. If this game is even remotely akin to what you think is your type of game, you should get it. I still put it on top of my pile of games on the shelf.

Its a game worth buying for those that want to try a fps shooter on the Wii with a bit of adventure implemented into it and a bit of story, I quite like the controls, I havent used the game with the Wii plus ?? cant remember what that is called, So im not sure what thats like with it.

As far as gameplay, graphics etc are concerned I am in full agreement with the previous reviews of Metroid Prime 3.

The only downfall however, is the lack of online play. MP2: Echoes on Gamecube
had a reasonable multiplayer with all the generic modes of todays multiplayer FPS games, but due to no Gamecube online it was restricted to split-screen single console entertainment. MP3 has no multiplayer aspect at all, which is a shame because of the WII net connectivity. Online multiplayer was available on MP: Hunters for the DS which raises the question of why no multiplayer option for WII?

Apart from the lack of multiplayer MP3 is a great game with a single player campaign which shines as a showcase of what the WII is capable of. For those who have played the previous Prime games on Gamecube this Corruption is a step into familiar territory bringing a conclusion to the story of the Space Pirates and their quest for power through the use of Phazon.

The controls on WII are intuitive and comfortable to use, especially when compared to playing with the Gamecube controller, which at times felt a little clumsy and annoying when fighting certain bosses within Metroid Prime and MP2:Echoes.

Great game highly recommended.

I love this game. I am very new to gaming consoles but have played loads of FPS games on the PC. I was worried that the controls would be hard to master but within minutes of playing I was hooked. The graphics are smooth although I have noticed lag once during a Boss fight but was so minimal that most people would not notice. The score is moody and great. Initially I thought that this game was too easy but as it goes on the gameplay & opponents become more challenging but never too hard.

This is definitely one of the best games on the Wii…beautiful visuals…perfect pinpoint accuracy with the controls…good voice acting and a great musical score. It isnt the hardest game out there but the boss fights are sometimes very difficult…Mogenar Im looking at you…however this is the kind of game in which u will want to progress further and find out what happens. Who needs HD graphics when a game looks this good? This is one of the most visually impressive games on the Wii and is on par with an Xbox 360 game. The controls are accurate and feel great…better than a mouse and keyboard setup imo. The gameplay is really good as well…despite a lot of backtracking. Overall if you own a Wii…get this…it's an essential purchase and a contender for GOTY…however I think Super Mario Galaxy may take that title as it surpasses even this game!

Honest Review: This game is a Metroid game. That makes it good, right? Yes. And man, its great. It is the best Metroid game ever made in my opinion, and I would rank it in the top 3 must-buy games for the wii so far. But why? (all views out of ten)

Graphics: (9.0) Definitely some of the wii's best, great effects.

Presentation: (8.7) Average Menu, otherwise great world, and how it is shown.

Sound: (9.0) Good voice acting, music all fits to the whole ‘style’ of the game.

Longetivity: (8.5) Quite lenthy single player, as with most action/shooting games there is no multiplayer. But once you do finish, there is little point in doing it all again.

Gameplay: (9.5) This is where Metroid Prime 3: Corruption really shines. The lenthy story is fun and interesting 100% of the time. Controls are great. Great game even if you're not really into sci-fi (like me) This game and resident evil 4 are the best shooting games on the wii, and I overall very highly recommend it.

OVERALL I SCORE THIS GAME A TOTAL OF (9.5 out of TEN)
