    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.

    This might be the single best thing in this generation of gaming, on any platform. Every single room is a puzzle, every fight is challenging and requires cleverness and strategy, and the games are deep, huge, and never boring.

If these games were in HD, this disc would have blown the doors off every GOTY award. For the first time in a long time, my PC and PS3 are collecting dust while the Wii gets all the attention.… Expand

    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.

    Jeez. Where do I start? First of all, this is an amazing series of games, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. Also, this is also a spectacularly awesome deal, too. 60$ for three blockbuster games, each scoring over a 90 on the ratings? Yes! The control scheme has been worked to perfection and the graphics and control scheme have been updated for the first two games as well. Jeez. Where do I start?

The actual box is more fun than some games because it has that sweet artbook and is a collector's item in itself. Now the first two games include the addictive badge system while still keeping the fun item collecting. 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.

    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.

    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 first two are probably two of the best videogames I have played since 1982. I am replaying Prime now and it has barely aged. It still feels organic and lush. Echoes is also simply amazing.

    While the original 2 prime games were on gcn there was no dual analog scheme.This has been rectified on wii. 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.

Ominous music and yes if there was room online should have been added to multi-player. Sadly wii online has those darn friend codes and is quite backwards compaired to xbox live or playstation network. To bad this arrived AFTER corruption. In japan they sold prime 1 and 2 separately and at full price so this having everything prime for a mere $49 is a phenomenal deal,especially considering how poorly the cube did most people will be playing them for the first time. Even though i own prime 1,2 on gcn and 3 on wii this is still a must buy for revamping the controls to allow you to move and shoot in any direction at any time on a dime. BUY THIS GAME.… Expand
