    One of the best video game collections. The games have aged almost perfectly, and are still some of the best games in their genre. Furthermore, for Wii/Gamecube-era games, their graphics surprisingly hold up.

    This is quite honestly one of the best gameplay experiences I've ever had, the motion controls work very well with the first two games as well as the third, these games are truly masterpieces with very fun boss battles

    These are some of the best games ever made, wrapped in one complete package. Every detail of the original game has been retained, down to the menus. For $20 on the Wii U eshop, you have no reason to not pick this up! Unless that is, if you're reading this past January 2022 when the eshop closes

    these games are amazing, while the controls aren't the best, I think they are better than the gcn controls.

    Metroid Prime Trilogy is a collection of my three favorite Metroid games. It contains extra content such as multiplayer, artwork and music. These games are super underrated and deserve better so here's to an amazing Metroid Prime 4 (eventually) and beyond.

    The usual mindless invisible-walls-and-guess-what-we're-thinking design that you can expect from Nintendo. There's zero user agency. If you divert from the predefined track then say goodbye to your time while you try to find your way back on it, because you cannot accomplish anything until you read the mind of the designer and like a good robot do everything in the predefined order.

If you divert from the predefined track then say goodbye to your time while you try to find your way back on it, because you cannot accomplish anything until you read the mind of the designer and like a good robot do everything in the predefined order. That's how it is intended to be played, like an invisible instruction manual.

    Most of the game is about opening doors; weapons and abilities are nothing but glorified keys to unlock doors and reach a previously unreachable area, much like in shooters from the nineties. At least Doom and Quake were honest about it, unlike Metroid.

    Did you scan an enemy to get some useful info in preparation of a battle? Sorry, we exchanged that enemy with another identical looking one two seconds after you completed your scan. Don't complain about how that's unintuitive -- why didn't you simply read our minds? Oh, you died and lost a lot of progress as a result? Well, we don't really respect your time. If it's that important to you then you should have gone completely off-track and hiked half across the map to save your game. That's what we call "flow".

    And don't complain about combat. Don't you understand that all your weapons are useless unless you shoot the enemy in fifteen orifices in a specific order? You seem to be used to games where it's possible to accomplish something your own way. We don't have room for that kind of player. Either stop thinking and do exactly as we intended, or waste your effort and die.

    Developers are just lazy when they spit on players' time and effort by throwing it away as soon as their extremely convoluted, specific and predetermined way of killing enemies goes undiscovered. I hope another developer can raise the bar for this franchise. And for Zelda, and... right, they do this **** in every game.    … Expand

    The beginning introduces you to the basics of your controls -- press to shoot, do to scan, etc. -- in a natural way as you go through the intro area. It doesn't feel like gameplay is interrupted for instructions. And then it drops you into a fascinating, completely alien world with many of the abilities you had at the beginning disabled, and the only hints you have about where to go next are where you can reach, plus the occasional map marking from scan data. As you progress and defeat ever more difficult bosses, you gain more abilities that make you able to reach places you couldn't reach before. Just like it was in Super Metroid. No inter-character story pushing you forward, just a big and beautiful alien world that you can't wait to explore further.    … Expand

    Let's start with the positives, the controls are near perfection, which is a true achievement when thinking that two of those games weren't made for the Wii, of course only the third entry have little extras taking advantage of the Wii motion controls, but the main gameplay is great for all 3 games.

    Secondly this trilogy truly has its own identity, the way the game has to mix puzzles, platforming and shooting, epic bosses is very natural and once again a true achievement from Retro Studios, they also capture the unique vibe of exploring an unknown world, however, there is not much change over the three games (a few gadgets change but with globally the same use) a good thing that they didn't make others episodes after Corruption.

    Now let's talk about why I'm not as enthusiast about those games as many others. First the lack of a true story really annoys me, in the first game there's 0 story, the second just a little more and finally the third is the only one with a true story (even if it is a classic one), in my opinion a game cannot be great without a great story, it lacks purpose, and this was even more important given the fact that there is so much backtracking into those games, I was really bored when I had to go through the same room for the tenth time.

    In conclusion there's no doubt those games are good, but in my opinion they're not classic (except Corruption maybe) and so I wouldn't advice them to everyone, especially if you're looking for a good story.    … Expand

    I also have to mention the visuals, they are superb in these games. Retro Studios have used an incredibly clever art style, along with the best possible use of the Wii's technical capabilities. The graphics, at least for Prime 3: corruption, have not aged one bit.

It contains three of the greatest titles of all time, along with a beautiful metal casing and some extras inside the case as well as all three Metroid Prime games on one disk.

    I think it's easily worth the purchase even if you have played all three Metroid Prime games before, because not only do you get the first two titles with Wii controls which, slight quibbles about lack of buttons aside, are far superior to the Gamecube version, but you also get many of the features that were designed for Metroid Prime 3 outside of Wii controls for the first two titles as well. The medal system from Corruption returns, allowing you to unlock a screenshot tool that works for all three games, the Fusion Suit for Prime(which was included in the GC version), as well as various concept art and soundtracks. Unfortunately, the medal system does feel a little lazy on as you only acquire medals for scanning things, defeating bosses, and accomplishing various other mandatory tasks in the game, such as acquiring Chozo Artifacts or Dark Temple Keys. I was somewhat hoping that medals could be earned for doing optional things, such as defeating an enemy in a specific way similar to the Icy Reptilicide or Stylish Kill medals in MP3, but these are rather small quibbles. Overall, if you've played all the Metroid Prime titles before, I would highly recommend this over nearly anything you can get, which are even more enjoyable with the new Wii controls, but if you didn't enjoy the games for a reason besides the control scheme, then Trilogy won't make you enjoy it any more than you did.

    If, however, you haven't played the Metroid Prime games, or enjoyed one or two but missed out on one or more of the titles down the road, then I can't recommend this highly enough. Not only will you get whichever games you've played before on a single disk(if you have played any), but you will also get the chance to play through some of the greatest titles in gaming history in their best form, with Wii controls. It's easily worth the $50.

    Overall, I can't give this compilation anything but my highest recommendation. Every single one of these games is a masterpiece, and the only complaints I have about the games are all small quibbles where I didn't enjoy something that I'm sure some other portion of the gaming community did. If you liked the Metroid Prime games, then get this. If you haven't played the Metroid Prime games, then there is no better time to try them out then now. If you had difficulty enjoying Prime 1 or 2 because of the Gamecube controls, then consider this a new opportunity to enjoy some great games with an excellent control scheme. The only person I wouldn't recommend these to is anyone who has played the Prime games in the past and didn't enjoy them for a reason besides control scheme. Everyone else, this is an excellent buy, and likely the greatest gaming trilogy of all time on one disk.    … Expand

    The first thing i did was change some options to make the controls better. Change A to jump and B to fire and also set to pro mode as this allows you to lock on to a target and shoot something else and still shoot at the lock on target if you wish. This is also hardly a childish game and i'd never deprive anyone of experiencing such a great series.Fantastic sci-fi story.

    You are getting three award-winning games in one! This is worth every penny. The best aspect of the Metroid Prime series for me is the feeling of isolation. You are playing the lone wolf for the entire time and you really feel you like a badass when you finish that boss fight with only your wits to thank. My only downside is the constant backtracking but other than that it is an awesome game!

So... score sorted then. If, however, you have played the first game to death and are more interested in the sequels, here are a few things you should mull over. Metroid Prime 2 is a mostly fantastic title. The light / dark world idea is really well done, and it develops that isolated atmosphere that defines the Metroid series even further. Unfortunately, MP2 is severely hamstrung by it's truly ball-breaking difficulty. If you're properly up for a challenge, though, it's all gold! Metroid Prime 3 has other, more pressing issues. The game suffers from a serious case of deja-vu. Almost everything in this game has been seen before, and it all just feels a bit under-inspired and workman like. So there you go; One all-time classic, one hard-as-nails slice of intensity and one solid-but-ultimately-dull clone. If, however, you have never played the original Metroid Prime, well... BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY!… Expand

    I loved all three of these games when they came out, now they're all in one and the first two have Wii controls? What's not to love? The Wii controls made the first two play smoother and multiplayer mode was actually fun and competitive because of the new controls. I would have given all of the games separately high scores but all together with improved controls, this can be nothing short of a 10.

It has an overwhelming storyline and a very complete background story that even if it might not have much to do with the traditional Metroid trama, it brings an innovating, interesting and greatly developed plot that is evidence of a very well thought game. The characteristic dark atmosphere along with the breathtaking and massive landscapes introduce the gamer into a fantastic and new universe that will change your perspective of videogames and even movies, presenting very wild natural environments and simultaneously highly sophisticated technological spaceships. In addition, we can see an amazing variety of creatures and monsters to interact with during these games, all of them different and creative with a very cool design and appearance. A huge variety of weapons and ability upgrades also contribute to an entertaining experience, alongside with the admirable new Wii platform controls that provide a much more fun and intuitive way of shooting and exploring. These games all bring a marvelous original soundtrack that will give the gamer a whole new sensation when playing.

    Three already great games combined into a single disc trilogy.. Whats not to like about this? I just wish that Nintendo would show their other franchises the same love. Also i wish that they would make games that you download via the Wii Shop channel that you put on the SD card playable on the 3DS or DSiXL/Dsi.. That'd be awesome.

I do recognize though that this is a second release of these games so you may or may not have them in you collection already. The controls are good for the wii but I do feel it loses a point for not having the option of the classic controller come on nintendo the first two had it already so you should have left it as a option because not everyone is used to we controllers. The graphics a good for the wii and even though 2 of these are ports from the gamecube they look great even next 2 xbox360 and ps3 games. The story is a ten out of ten and the length on all these games is great. If you ask me spend 60 dollars on mw3 or 100 dollars on a copy on metroid trilogy I would say get metroid trilogy a better story and just a all around awesome package. So as for why is it a 8 instead one point for not leaving putting in classic controller support and another point for being a port of 2 titles you can pick up and play on the cube and metroid 3 was released during the dawn of the wii. If you own all three titles already skip this one if you don't spend your cash and buy this one now it is worth every penny.… Expand

This definately is a great excuse to get back in there with a slightly new experience and more artwork to earn. I love these games, and they are better than originally released.

    It would be easy for Nintendo to just scrap together a quick compilation of the Metroid Prime series on the Wii for a quick buck, but we'd still love it. These games were fantastic back then and are even better now, thanks to the Wii-Remote's improved controls. Aside from the obvious answer of more, there is hardly a thing that could be improved about these games.

    The very best game I have ever played. I loved every Metroid Prime game since they were released with Corruption being the best of the three, but this was the very best thing Nintendo could have done with this amazing Trilogy. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption might have been my favorite game before, but needless to say this blows it out of the water.

    Buy this a experience the three best first-person adventures ever conceived. I personally think the Metroid Prime Trilogy is heavily under-rated. Three games that all got very good ratings bundled into one box. This deserves to rule over you all. Definitely the best deal in gaming since The Orange Box.

    What a fantastic package. The updated controls really make a difference - compared to the first iterations of the first two games using the Cube pad, the remote is a huge step up. I really enjoyed the first two on the cube, this is better simply due to the improved controls. To have all three titles on one disk for $50, best deal there is to be had on a Nintendo system.

I can find no fault with anything here - if you like FPS and have a WIi - doesn't matter if you already own all three (like me) - this is worth the purchase. A must own.… Expand

    This game is fantastic in every posible way. Prime is outstanding. Echoes is outstanding. Corruption is, unsurprisingly, outstanding. Buy this game. Now!

    One of the best game compilations ever and definetely som e of the best games ever. Hopefully this, the conduit, SMG2, Metroid:Other M and the next LoZ convince everyone that the wii isn't just for 5 year olds and old people in need of hand-eye co-ordination. Simply great graphics, incredible gameplay and unbelievable sound. Greatest gaming set since Mario All-Stars and the Orange box.

    I want to post an honest review of this game. I greatly enjoyed Metroid Prime for the Gamecube in 2002. However, because of this new version complete with Wii controls, I know have pains in my wrist that I've never had before. I think the right thing to do is let others know what's happened to me. Maybe it doesn't affect others like it does myself, but I believe that I have I want to post an honest review of this game. I greatly enjoyed Metroid Prime for the Gamecube in 2002. However, because of this new version complete with Wii controls, I know have pains in my wrist that I've never had before. I think the right thing to do is let others know what's happened to me. Maybe it doesn't affect others like it does myself, but I believe that I have a responsibility to share my experience with this game in a honest and unbiased manner. So yes, I now have troubles with my wrist. The Wii is the top selling home console to date, and I imagine the draw is the Wii motion controls. It's in the opinion of some people that the controls of the Wii allow precision, and with the new peripheral Wii Motion Plus, that's certainly true. But is Metroid really a precision based game? If you were a sniper and needed to assassinate someone from far away, I imagine that's when precision would come into play. If you're a seamstress and trying to poke a thread through a needle, precision would be needed there too. But firing an arm cannon at monsters from point blank range? I think Retro Studio's heart was in the right place, but I feel they overdid it. The Wii controls truly do hurt my wrist as well as tire my arm. I need to lie my arm down in order to play this title. I've never had problems with my wrist before or any kind of signs of carpal tunnel syndrome, but this game really does, no joke, and with all seriousness make the game nigh unplayable, let alone fun. So much so I've only played the game in bursts, and now that I've beaten it and can trace my wrist ailments to it, I know I'll never pick it up again. Even then though, I don't know if this would still be worth the full price tag. The games in the Prime series came out in 2002, 2004 and in 2007. I beat Metroid Prime way back in 2002 and it's sequel in 2004. They're great games, but they're old games. Plus, I was quite young back then. I feel as if there are more grown-up titles out there and this is best suited for children. But the carpal tunnel syndrome comes into play again. If you're a parent and thinking of buying this for your child, please reconsider. Your child may very well develop carpal tunnel syndrome or some other arm and wrist problems. If you truly love your child, ignore their cries of protest and give them a hockey stick instead. They should be outdoors, not destroying their wrists (and any future working with a computer) playing this. If you want a good title for the Wii, pick up Wii Fit. The gaming website IGN gave this compilation a 9.5 out of 10. If you read the user reviews though for the other Metroid game with Wii controls, you'll find the reviews are much less favourable. I'm not chiding you; please go the the respective webpages and look. One final thing before I finish: the first two Metroid games came with substantial bonuses. In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, there was a multi-player component which, if you're familiar with the Gamecube's lack of online play, was only local. The bonus in Metroid Prime was even sweeter: providing you had a GBA, you could play the original Metroid; the game that started it all. In this compilation however, the multi-player remains still only local; which stikes me as a wasted opportunity to bring motion controls into a setting where precision would've actually been substantial. Also, the original Metroid for the NES is missing. There's always Metroid: Other M to look forward to. It looks to be a worthwhile reinvention of the series. God, I love innovation in all it's forms.… Expand

    Do you own a Wii? Then you need to own this, particular if there is even one game in this compilation that you didn't play the first time around. The controls make the GameCube games so much better, and that's an understatement. This set of games is worth every dollar.

    I give the games an 8 because of the value you get for $60. Each by themselves, these days, would be a 7 or 6.5 IMO.

    Three outstanding games (two of which are vastly enhanced with dead-on motion controls) available for the price of one. We can’t imagine a better deal on Wii this year.
