    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.

    The only FPS series that lives up to it's reputation. Probably as close to perfect as you can get. The first is arguably the finest game of the last Decade.

    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.

The music and sound effects to this game were outstanding. The voice acting was also spectacular. Giving me an eerie feeling and making a strong impact on the story. The first game included: Metroid Prime. 10/10. best one of the 3 included. It was the best metroid experience I've ever had, and I've loved this game for about 3-4 years now, and of all the ones I've played this one was the best. The second game included: Metroid Prime 2, Echoes. Very fun. Included only a few suit upgrades, which i won't spoil here (because i don't want spoilers in my review) but the game was amazing. It started with some really great exploring, and delved deep into a (quite terrifying) story. The third (and easiest): Metroid prime 3: Corruption. Despite being very easy to complete, it was still really fun to experience. I loved the final boss fight. (also all the leviathan fights leading up to it!!) The game was great, especially with the new feature, which was being able to interact with your environments in ways like pressing numbers on a keypad to using your arm cannon to weld broken circuitry. Completed it 100%.… Expand

With addictive and fluid gameplay, great graphics, epic storylines, an amazing control scheme, and the fact that it is the best deal in gaming since the Orange Box to boot, this is easily one of, if not the, best wii game out there to date.

    First, let me say that I had huge expectations for this game, given its metascore and the fact even now it's still pretty expensive on the market and I took it into account at the moment of choosing the grade.

    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

    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.

    The motion controls are the selling point of this title, but it's the triple-A titles that these games have garnered in the past that makes them sell. You can easily spend 30 hours on each game for the storyline and an extra 10 each for 100% completion. On top of that is a collector's item: sketches of in-game enemies and characters in their early states (and they actually look very good).The motion controls are the selling point of this title, but it's the triple-A titles that these games have garnered in the past that makes them sell.

The only thing you can't deny is that every one of these games were near-perfect when released, and you really can't miss the series this time around.
