Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Review @ IGN

Review: IGN
______________
Five years ago, the first-person adventure Metroid Prime re-invented Nintendo's famous science-fiction franchise about a space-traveling female bounty hunter. Now, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has re-invented the way the series is played, unarguably for the better. If you were on board Samus Aran's Hunter-Class Gunship for the critically acclaimed first outing and its sequel, you will be ready for the third and final act in the trilogy because, at least from a design standpoint, there haven't been too many major changes. The heroine still explores exotic alien terrain and fights fearsome alien creatures, and the re-traversal backbone that has powered Metroid projects since the NES classic that started it all remains completely and thankfully intact. So if you've never liked these titles, Corruption probably isn't going to make you a believer, even with its enhanced graphics and spectacular new controls. If, on the other hand, you'd rather play with Samus than, say, Master Chief, Retro's Wii-overhauled new addition to the Prime family is going to take you on a great, satisfying ride that you won't soon forget. Indeed, as far as we're concerned, the Texas-based studio has made Wii's best game.

.....nintendo put a shitload into this game.. considering the amount of delays as well... a full year only...

I think it's the firt time nintendo put in half as much into this as they do regularly into zelda.....

At official launch, i'm planning on getting this sucker in a promotional package with a wii (which should include a wiimote and numchuck)

Like I mentioned a few times in other threads, there are very few games I will continue to buy no matter what console they are on, and Metroid is one of those games. I've loved the series since it first appeared on the NES, and I've literally got each and every single game since then, and honestly, in some cases it's the only reason I still keep a couple of the consoles. Yes.. just for that 1 game. Sad, really.

Unfortunatly, even though I'll be getting it tonight (in a few hours actually) I won't get to play it until after I finish BioShock... so.. maybe I'll get to it next week or so.

And rest assured, it will drive me nuts not playing it until then....

your lucky... at least you'll have it.. i'll have to die a few times each day every time i hear the word metroid.

And i used to own every single one.. until i was robbed.... boy that really pisses me off.... took everything, even my just about top time completition and percent for fusion.
