    I was very excited to play this, my first metroid game, following the reviews but it's really quite awful. Janky gameplay, TERRIBLE motion controls that make a first person shooter feel like you are constantly controlling a drunk chimp. Bad sound effects.... could be useful as a sleeping aid.

    As a fan of the metroid series i was loving this game. Unfortunately I can no longer play it for fear that I will lose control again and angrily throw that stupid wii mote through the window again. The wii mote completely killed this game for me. If I could use a decent controller with it I would play this game.

    Terrible controls ruin the end of an otherwise great trilogy. Lock-on targeting slips off for no reason, and bosses' weak points are tiny moving targets which can't be locked onto. Does the game look great? Sure. Is the story worth exploring? I don't know, I turned it off in disgust after yet another battle with the awful wiimote targeting.

    the final part of the metroid story comes to a close and classy looking style on the wii
    that is about the only thing that they have got right about this game, it is very pretty as the landscapes and space stations morph and shimmer around you it is a very encompassing FPS, and the soundtrack just oozes atmosphere
    but that us where the good stops and the annoying takes over. the control    the final part of the metroid story comes to a close and classy looking style on the wii

    the control system althought quite logical is infuriating to use,there isnt enough things to shoot at for long phases of the game and then they dump an entire levels worth of aliens on you in one go and wonder why you die
    the map screens are hopeless and almost completely useless annd the puzzle sections are more like point and click stlye games where there is no logic to them its more a case of try everything that you have got until one of them works
    hopelessly overated,terribley annoying to play,avoid at all costs    … Expand

    Its another lame game from Nintendo Wii, this was poorly made. Its basically impossible, in one shot you are dead, well thats no fun, I got frustrated and found myself upset that I bought a game that was no different from Metroid Prime Hunters. Imposiible and stupid. I don't see how this is in the top ten.

    How could ANYONE have thought his was a good game. Even for 2007 the game is trash. There's ridiculous time lag on the stupid grapple. There's a lot of pointless backtracking through areas required. There are a lot of boss battles where you have to suspend any real life knowledge and try out different things. Oh maybe this explosive rocket will do damage? oh no that can't be it. TheHow could ANYONE have thought his was a good game. Even for 2007 the game is trash.

The Hyperbeam or whatever mode? Nope. It's actually actually a little starting mine from the morph ball. etc. etc. etc.
    Dodging? It's barely a thing. A lot of it just sucking down energy tanks and killing the bosses before they kill you.
    Then there's general progression. You're stuck and nothing left to do in the room. What are you supposed to do? You're supposed to send your ship to attack ANTI AIRCRAFT GUNS. How stupid does Samus need to be to send her ship to get blown up by attacking anti-aircraft guns. It tells you 2 or 3 times even before you decide to be retarded that those are big guns and you need to disable them first. So. Stupid.

    What makes me absolutely. ABSOLUTELY. Hate this game is the fact that you can go into a timed corruption mode and STRAIGHT UP GAME OVER in states where you can't stop it in time. Like during a morph ball in the middle of an area you cannot unmorph. CAUSING YOU TO LOSE ALL YOUR PROGRESS. It wouldn't be so bad if the progress didn't involve me wrestling with the controls for 20 minutes. Staring at the stupid grapple point waving my nunchuk like a madperson and Samus doing **** all is absolutely infuriating.

    Everyone who told me this was a good game for the last 13 years lied to me.    … Expand

    Even with a low difficulty level, lackluster story and flawed unlockables, Metroid Prime 3 is certainly a must-play for Wii owners.

    A true gamer's game, a lovingly crafted science-fiction magnum opus, a showcase title not only for excellent motion controls but also stunning artwork that rivals anything in gaming.

    Proof that not all sequels are quick attempts to cash in; Corruption takes the already outstanding formula of the previous games and retools it into one of the most solid and rewarding experiences in years.
