Brief synopsis of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The Galactic Federation's Base Sector Zero is under attack by Space Pirates. Samus must boot up the generator to restore the defense systems. But at the end of her path, someone awful is waiting for her.

The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from Corruption isn't enough, though. Eventually, players must take down Samus' mortal enemy, Dark Samus.

Besides using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to pull off amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run, players also will have an array of different weapons at their disposal. In true Metroid fashion, these will become powered up as the game progresses. Not only that, but the controller will be used for a number of other game elements beyond the traditional firstperson shooter standards.

Rated - 2 starsmetroid prime 3: corruption

buzz from Carterton , 18/12/2007

This game looks ok, it starts a little like halo and i must say for me thats as good as it got. the graphics are not on a par with halo 1 they game play is poor, with the controls not responding as you would expect or like. It also takes to long to get stuck into the action. Ididn't like it because i feel more can be done with the wii, and the developers should have made it more playable before releasing.

Rated - 4 starsOverall, very good game

I wasn't sure what to expect from this game, as:-

1. I haven't played any other first person shooters on the wii yet - so i dont know how good they are to control etc.

2. I haven't played any of the other Metroid Prime games.

However, I think it is a wicked game thats great fun. Controls take a bit of getting used to but after a while they fit really well. The gameplay is excellent, haven't found any bugs or any aspects which need a negative comment. Not sure how long it is as I'm still playing my way through it but according to my save, im about 10% of the way through after about 3 hours or so - been playing at a relaxed pace.

I recommend this game, even if you haven't played any of the other Metroid Prime games, as it easy to pick up, but still good fun.

I've never been into shooters and had never played metroid in its other versions, but i must say of all the games i have played on the wii, this is the ultimate. i loved it the controls were easy to use and make great use of the wii controllers, i rented it first but couldn't wait to go buy it. if you like shooters then you MUST play this, if i could i would rate it higher.

VERY IMPRESSIVE
