Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for Wii Reviews by Gamers

This game was a very fun game and had an exellent story line. This is a very confusing game, many of the puzzles that they give you are very hard to figure out but it is a very long game with a lot of powerups that you can get so it makes the game more and more fun as you get through the game.

Being new to the Metroid universe, I didn't know what to expect from this game. I knew of Samus from Smash Bros. as she's my favorite character to play. I was very please with this rental from the first level. There's lots to do in each level - scanning, objects to destroy, plenty of enemies - so I was never bored playing it. My complaints with this game are only two: movement which engaged in battle and the increasing difficulty of the game.
The movement in battle is sticky as when you are locked on a target, you can't turn your body around. Makes sense, but you frequently lose the lock and the target moves around you and you can't follow. Also, she can't run. Very annoying when being bombarded from above. You can't even run to shelter or to get a health powerup.
The difficulty of the game, like every game, increase with each level. Though not in the "oh, I'm further on, this is getting tough," but in the sense of, "How the heck do I do this?!" At one point, you have to achieve your objective while enemies infintely respawn. Difficult? YES. The objectives are hard enough without getting shot, but there's now way to clear the area without achieving the objective. And also, new enemies and the tacics for them are not explained. I had to use a walkthrough just to know where to shoot several of the bosses.
But all in all, it was a fun game and I really enjoyed how well they integrated the Wii controls into the game. Very well done.
I have the game an 8, as did GameFly. Rent this!
