    Zelda was amazing, but the controls felt tacked on. Super Paper Mario was fun, but it was originality meant for the gamecube. Now we have Metroid prime 3 which is truly the game to prove the wii isn't just a gamecube with online features and motion controls. it has at least a dozen bosses, a long and entertaining adventure mode.

(its fun just to throw your grabble bean like a whip and tear shields and tear weaker enemies to bits!) with the best FPS controls so far, and excellent use of the wii's graphics which are much better than the last two MP games and maybe even halo 2. It even has voice acting, and its pretty good too! and even with 3 different difficulty settings, (one has to be unlocked) the game never feels frustrating. (don't listen to Jared C. he's lying) There is problems with loading time, which feels like forever sometimes, and the lack of online play is a disappointment, its still not enough to lower the score of the game to a 9. It also has a sort of halo feel, but thats a good thing and its still plays like a metroid game a MUST needed title for the hardcore. and people who are interested in playing a first person game.… Expand

    Best Wii Game yet. Best game on any platform that I've played in the last year. The shooting controls are perfect. The graphics are stunning. The sound is phenomenal. The puzzles are difficult, but I haven't run into one yet that I'd consider too hard. If you have a Wii, get this game. If you don't have a Wii, buy one ASAP.

Although the graphics are not up to par with the X360 or PS3, the art direction in this game is unparralled (The only game that comes close this year is Bioshock... another GOTY candidate).

And, graphically, it gives 360 a big run for its money. May I add that, the "morph ball" element of this game is so amazing. If I could give it a 20 out of 10, I would.

Thanks to the art direction and use of lighting, the graphics are the best the Wii has seen, and the new FPS controlles will make any hardcore shooter fan want to get a Wii. Who cares if it is basically the same as its predecessors? Its practically flawless.

A 91 does not even begin to describe the quality of Metroid Prime 3. The Metroid series has always been great but the first time they ever did something radically different was when they brought the series into 3D. This game goes out there and does many things that people just weren't expecting from a Metroid game. They included voice acting which is a first for the series and also a first for Nintendo. Although there are many games that are superb on the Wii, Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, Resident Evil 4, they all began life on the Gamecube. Metroid Prime 3 is the first true Wii game. It was built from the ground up for the Wii and helps remind you what exactly you got your Wii for. For magnificent gameplay experiences like this. There are three control sensitivity settings, but the advanced setting is really the way to go. After the first level with that setting you'll be taking out enemies in no time. The game also features something called Lock-on Free-aim. This allows you to lock on to a target, but still be able to aim anywhere you want while the locked on target becomes your strafe point. You can also turn it off if you just want your shots to shoot what you're locked on to. This is roughly a twenty hour adventure and i loved every second of it. This is the one true Wii game out there. It is THE reason to own a Wii and the reason to pick one up if you haven't already. It proves that an FPS-style game can be done on a Wii if the developer just steps it up. I can not see this game as deserving anything less than a perfect 10.… Expand

The new corruption element is pretty darn cool, too, as it makes you an ultra-powered monster hunter (not literally monster), which certain abilities. But here's the twist: Hypermode sucks up health, offering challenges and decisions. Some cool weapons are also Seeker Missle, which lets you charge up your missle and then shoot five mini-missles, and the Plasma Beam, which, of course, every Metroid fan should know of. Your ship also plays a big part in the game, with landing so you can upgrade your ship or save, with destroying things using missles, and others. Although some Star Fox-style space-shooting segments would have been nice, the ship command feature is pretty sweet. The graphics and enemy design are amazing, but the level design...OH MY GOD!!! The level design is the greatest I've ever seen in years, it's even better than Twilight Princess. There are some negatives in this game (sadly). The voice-acting sort of takes away that haunting feel of Metroid games. Other than that, run, don't walk, to your nearby game retail store, pick up a Wii, and pick up MP3 (and Twilight Princess).… Expand

    It's beautiful, demanding and perfectly controllable - one of the best first person action-adventures ever and a great end for the prime-series. I would give it a 9.5, because it has some minor issues, e.g. it's sometimes annoying to have to wait 5 seconds until a door opens. I am looking forward to seeing what Retro is doing next.

I can't compare the controls to BioShock (which, by all acounts, is an awesome game as well) because I haven't played it, but as an avid Halo 1 and 2 fan, I can honestly say the control set up here is better than those games. That's not to say they were bad; they were great, of course, but the control scheme here is just better. My only quibbles are just that some of the randomly generated creature fights get a little old, because they keep re-generating and are pretty easy to beat, and there are a few too many rooms that exist just to force you to jump or swing across a chasm (which gets pretty boring after awhile, both because suit upgrades make it easy and because you have to back-track at different points in the game). But those are minor quibbles, and doesn't stop it from a 10 rating.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I could only have one video game for each system I own, this would definitely be the game I would choose for the Wii. Everything about it is amazing: the graphics are very high-quality, the controls are engaging, the plot is suspenseful, the enemies present a challenge, and the bosses have devastating attacks, including Rundas's ice hammer strike, which I still haven't figured out how to dodge, and I got past by just destroying as many of his ice balls as possible and getting health so that I don't die. Throughout the game, the thought that Samus is corrupted with Phazon and may turn dark, like the other bounty hunters did (i.e. Rundas) keeps me guessing throughout the game and brings in new aspects constantly, !SPOILER ALERT! like on Bryyo when you inject an energy tank to clear out the Phazon vines, and you suddenly start to overload on Phazon, and from that point forward it continues to happen whenever you inject an energy tank. !SPOILER ENDED!… Expand

    It takes back what the original made so great, since Prime 2 was a bit slower and weird, and adds great and unique controls. This is a gem only possible on Wii. Level design and concept is awesome. Boss battle and missions are memorable. If you had this game, you're a lucky gamer.

    Given that I'm only allowed to rate games by increments of one, I gave this a 10 because it is closer to a 10 than a 9 IMO(I would personally give it around a 9.6 or so).

Metroid Prime 3 is an incredible experience from start to finish, combining the series' signature elements of exploration and adventure with an easier to follow plot structure and some new characters. One of my favorite parts of Corruption is that it has several plot lines for you to follow. There is the main one, that concerns Dark Samus and her attempt to overrun the galaxy with Phazon, but there are also side stories that one can discover by the same scanning mechanic that was included in Prime and Echoes which allows for people to learn about planets that one visits and and the civilizations that lived there. You are given the choice as to whether you want to explore and find out more about these civilizations without missing out on the main plot of the game, which works very well.

    Moving onto the gameplay, the Wii controls work wonders. While a lack of some extra buttons are noticeable at times, particularly in the selecting visors department, being able to point, aim, shoot, and turn so effortlessly is a dream come true. There is a learning curve to this, and you may wish that you had the old GC controls back for a while, but in the end, it works very well.

    Hypermode is the other new addition to the game, and it allows for a lot of experimentation with gameplay. Particularly in the higher difficulties, you will have to learn how to manipulate its invincibility and corrupted states in order to survive, which allows for an added layer of strategy onto an already very cerebral adventure game.

    Exploration and adventure are still out in front in this game, which means if you didn't like the original Prime, you won't like this one, either. If you did, or if you haven't played Prime but like games such as Okami, Zelda, or Darksiders, you'll definitely enjoy this.    … Expand

    Easily one of the best games on the Wii and also one of the best looking ones by far. While not the most open world Prime game, this game has a great soundtrack, a good story, amazing visuals for the Wii, an almost unparalleled atmosphere of being alone in space and very clever puzzles. While not perfect, it's a must buy for any Wii owner as it's one of the best games on the system.

That being said, I didn’t fall in love with them for nothing, they are absolute MASTERPIECES, Corruption being no exception. My “favorite” in the Trilogy has changed and flip flopped a lot over the years, and that is because they all have their own charm, and each game is unique and can’t really be compared to the other 2. Prime 1 is respectable because of it’s impact and how impressive of a feat it was to translate a previously 2D franchise into a 3D game. Prime 2: Echoes is respectable for its challenge and originality, including so many mechanics absent from the first game you simply can’t compare them, they really are two different games, not just slightly varied parallels. As for Prime 3:Corruption, well... this one is on a whole new level. That doesn’t mean it’s better in every way however, as there are small aspects it doesn’t quite nail the way the first two did, but those are really just nitpicks, and it does just about everything else better than the first two, so just because it isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it isn’t a 10/10 game, because it is. The only complaints about this game I can really agree with (and even then they’re extremely nit-picky) are that the music isn’t as immersive and “Metroidy” and the cinematic cutscenes and voice acting take away from the experience slightly. While I do agree with the music-related opinions (although I do like Bryyo’s Music quite a lot, and Bryyo in general as well), I personally like the cinematics, and I think they are part of what makes this game unique in a trilogy where core-gameplay is generally the same. This game feels big, like a finale to a grand show that’s garnered millions of watchers and is now writing a love letter to its fans, while also accommodating its new-comers. Prime 3 is interesting because it was made for everyone. Yes, this was the Metroid game made for everyone (despite what it’s rating says), because it’s just easy enough for new players but hard enough for old-time fans, not too easy like Prime 1 (which isn’t an easy game, but is undeniably the least difficult in the trilogy), not too hard like Prime 2 (which to this day has been known to be excessively hard but incredibly rewarding), but just right. Also, like the reviews have all said already, the Wii Remote aiming system is a stroke of genius! The aiming in this game is so fluid (even more so if you turn on the “advanced sensitivity” setting which allows for an even more immersive experience), and using the Wii Remote to aim makes you really feel like YOU ARE the bounty hunter (not that the first two didn’t, but the GameCube controls more often than not at least make ME feel like I’m controlling Samus and not like I am her). I’m trying to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible for a 12 year old game, but even without spoiling the plot or upgrades you acquire, or any of the games exclusive mechanics, there is so much to talk about it’s incredible! There’s an Impressive slew of new weapons and (not a spoiler but) some old ones return, and the games creativity is off the charts, fully taking advantage of it’s new hardware and doing things the other games couldn’t even if they wanted to. Prime 2 is NOT, I repeat NOT, a clone of Prime 1, but it was released only 2 years after its predecessor, so they had to keep some things the same. It still doesn’t remotely feel like the first game, but there are similarities, like missiles looking the same (which doesn’t matter), the arm cannon animations look the same (again, doesn’t matter), and some enemies are given different names but are identical to enemies in the first installment (meh.. might matter slightly, but it doesn’t take away from the experience). Why do I bring this up? Well, to show you how much of a re-imagining Prime 3 is of the original formula. Graphically the game is a major step up (and this series is already known for having incredible graphics in the first place, Prime looking like a PS2.5 level game but being a GameCube exclusive) from the others, and honestly anything after it as well (for the most part, admittedly Other M shines with its Human-Models in a way the Prime games never learned how), with stunning visuals and incredibly smooth animations. I could go on and on, but I don’t wanna ruin it for you, Just go play the game! Or if you want the full story, play them in order for a truly grueling but insanely memorable and epic experience unlike anything today’s games have to offer. The Prime Trilogy is gaming at its finest, and you can take that to the bank.… Expand

And sure enough they managed to pull it off. Even things like the grappling hook which I initially thought they would butcher, they did perfectly.

Ever since the SNES days, I have loved this franchise and when I found out that Metroid was going 3-D with a new "Prime" printed afterwards, I was excited. And sure enough they managed to pull it off. Even things like the grappling hook which I initially thought they would butcher, they did perfectly. Truly one of the best video game franchises in the market. I have played and enjoyed Metroid Prime and Prime 2: Echoes a lot. And now, this is my review of Metroid Prime 3: Gameplay: Amazing. It follows the same Metroid formula where you're in a first-person mode with you gun pointing out and pressing A to shoot. But with motion controls, the experience is better. With the Wii Remote, you can move the gun around in circles or in any other direction. It's as if the Wii Remote IS the gun itself and your Samus Aran shooting the pirates. It's a great experience. You can also go in your ship and play around with some of the features in it. However I just find myself going from one point to another with it. You can't control the ship, but it's still nice to see what's inside. The bosses are very challenging and very engaging. If you're new to the series, you will be in for one challenging adventure. Even me, being a veteran, found this game to be a tad difficult on easy mode. And on Hypermode...let's just good luck since this difficulty level really tests your skills. VERY challenging game. Throughout the game you get power-ups like the grappling hook and various different guns, and using these new power-ups is fun. 9.7/10 Story: Great. Quoted from metroid.wikia.com "After the events of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Galactic Federation contacts Samus Aran to investigate a malfunctioning network computer known as the Aurora Unit. The Federation believes the Space Pirates have infected the Aurora Unit with a virus. Subsequently, the Space Pirates attack one of the Federation's bases and begin to overrun the Federation's defenses. Samus, along with Bounty Hunters Ghor, Rundas, and Gandrayda, must work together to stop the siege, repair the Aurora Unit, and defeat enemies from the past game." The story is engaging and it's interesting listening to the dialog of the characters. 9/10 Music: Beautiful. Like the previous Prime games, the music will not disappoint. It is very well done and fits in with each scenario. The boss battles, like Rundas's theme or the classic Ridley theme, are truly breathtaking and make you want to slow down when fighting the bosses, just to hear these scores. My personal favorite track in this game is the Skytown music. Sometimes I find myself just turning the game on, flying to that place, and just relaxing as the music plays. The music gets a 10/10 Graphics: Amazing, especially for Wii standards. By improving the Prime 1 and 2 graphics a bit, Nintendo has created worlds that are beautiful and breathtaking. The cutscenes are nice and the overall look to the game is very inviting. 10/10 Characters and Voice acting: I liked the characters. The three other bounty hunters look very cool and have their own, unique powers. They accompany you on Norion to stop a meteorite from collapsing and then are later turned against you and gone to different locations because of Dark Samus. The fights with the other bounty hunters are amazing and challenging. And it is really sad to see them die at the hands of Dark Samus after you have defeated them. The aurora unit is a nice character that tells you what to do. But the one character that I cannot stand is Admiral Dane. His voice bugs me to no end. Yes, they have voice acting in this game, and for the most part it's not bad, but when it comes to Admiral Dane, it's just annoying. I don't know why, but I just can't stand him. 9/10 Overall, this game is marvelous. I recommend it to any gamer out there who is up for a first-person action/adventure game.

    This game is awesome, good controls, good graphics and plot, but is not perfect like the first prime game. The new thing in this game is voice acting: some charachters voice are good, but others sucks. The new space ship is awesome and the new hyper-mode is nice.

    Controls are fantastic. Another one knocked out of the park for the greatest video game franchise of all time. It's a shame I don't give 10s. This is a 9.5, though.

    Metroid Prime 3 is a great game to end of the Prime Trilogy. The graphics are slick and detailed, the planets are all unique and well designed, and the new control scheme is very intuitive. This is one of the few games that shows of the wii-mote's capabilities successfully, allowing for a point a shoot style of gameplay that works very well.

    One very cool addition in the game was the inclusion of voice acting. It helps make the various characters you interact with more interesting while not intruding on the personality of Samus, as she still remains silent (cough cough OTHER M cough cough).

    This really is a fantastic FPS and an excellent Metroid game. It's worth every penny.    … Expand

    This is a fantastic conclusion to the Metroid Prime series. Excellent gameplay, loveable new hunters and an intriguing story. This game even gives us creepy atmosphere almost like what Dead Space tried to do. Love this game, however I think it could've been a bit longer. Otherwise this game is a must play.

    Good third part which was developed for the Wii. The control is optimal and the graphics just fine.
    A good conclusion to the trilogy.

    Metroid Prime 3 is one of the best games both the wii and the Metroid series has to offer. The game takes full advantage of the wii's motion controls and it works like a charm. The gameplay is your standard explore and investigate the planet Prime game. Except this time, the game has much more emphasis on shooting things and hyper- mode.

The game takes full advantage of the wii's motion controls and it works like a charm. The gameplay is your standard explore and investigate the planet Prime game. Except this time, the game has much more emphasis on shooting things and hyper- mode. Hyper mode is a state where Samus can use her Phazon tanks to make her self much more powerful. This game also has three planets for you to explore, each one playing and feeling different. The games graphics are what you would expect from the prime series, amazing. The look of the P.E.D. suit looks very nice and the planets, especially Elysia are breathtaking. The story is that Samus must destroy these meteors called Leviathan seeds on each planet. It's a basic story but it is in no way bad. Overall though the games highlight is the gameplay. Scanning and exploring with the wii remote feels so much more immersive than a gamecube controller, and that is really saying something because the first two games were incredibly immersive. The only problem with this game is hyper mode, which makes the game to easy. This game is perfect if you are looking to get into the Metroid series and is a perfect game to start out with.… Expand

    El juego es excelente, pero simplifica algunas mecanicas, es un poco mas "lineal" (pero con mucha exploración), algún bajón de fps pero sigue siendo lo mas alto de la saga Metroid, compra OBLIGATORIA si tenes una Wii o Wii U.

    metroid prime 3 es un buen juego. El problema es q esta hecho para usar lo mayor posible los controles del WII y eso a veces es un poco molesto. Igual es un juego muy bueno, y sigue con la trayectoria de los juegos anteriores

    Compared to Metroid Prime 2, the score of 9 is maintained.

    New controls balance the saturation factor and once again great music and planetary artistic style.

    A good game, just sin to pretend to be just as free as the others being a little more linear than the others but just as fully enjoyable and giving you the freedom to go wherever you want.

    Sadly the hyper mode is completely OP, I recommend not taking full advantage of it but in high difficulties it is almost mandatory that you learn to master it.

    Definetely the worst of the Prime Trilogy. But this is at all a bad game. It is still really good and you should still play it.

    Definitivamente el peor juego de la Trilogia Prime. Pero este juego es para nada malo. Es muy bueno y deberias jugarlo.

    I never played a Metroid game before and a friend gifted me Corruption. And this is one of the best fps games I've ever played. I will definitely come back to this franchise. Overall rating: 9.3.

    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.
