![]() ![]() ![]() I will keep the same score I gave it then, for this review, and show the original breakdown of it as well: I then averaged those sections giving the game an overall average score. Overall - When I first published this review, on another site, 2+ years ago, I gave each section a different score, based out of 10. I have played and beaten The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, but my experience with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption far surpassed both of those games for me. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was my first Metroid Prime game to play in the series, and I HIGHLY recommend Wii owners that enjoy FPS games and even think they may enjoy the Metroid Prime 3, to give the game a try.įrom the game's graphics and art style, to the music and level designs, then topping it off with what were the best FPS controls on the Wii at the time, the game really surprised me and I enjoyed it far more than I expected I would. Here's a picture to hopefully explain what I'm talking about with the boss arenas. Because of the room designs of the boss battles, I often found myself running and jumping around the outside edges of the boss arenas, while concentrating weapon fire at the boss in the middle. Boss attacks outward, away from the middle then repositions back in the middle againĪs I said earlier, I found the boss battles to be a lot of, "move and shoot, move and shoot, move and shoot".Boss enters and stays towards the middle.Enter into a large open circular/square shaped room.Nearly all of the boss battles are set up and designed the same way: I enjoyed the puzzles though, because they made me think in the levels and I appreciate how much effort Retro put into making the game with quality play-time.Ī minor complaint I have with the level designs, are the boss battles. Elysia is a sky town, kind of like Cloud City from Star Wars, but more open.īryyo had several puzzles that I enjoyed, and one of the puzzles was extremely difficult to figure out when I was trying to get 100% of the items in the game. I thought the levels in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption were designed well, especially Elysia and Bryyo. I think the game is well paced between the adventure and shooting aspects though, as many times you will work your way through an area on the map, find a suit/weapon upgrade, and then almost immediately find yourself in a situation to use the new upgrade in a battle of some sort. It's not a huge issue, but you may find it a little aggravating if you miss a jump.Īnother slight control issue I had, was when trying to grapple onto either enemies or items, occasionally it wouldn't register my motions in time sometimes allowing a boss to get back up, which was aggravating. This works most of the time, but occasionally I would flick the Wii Remote and it wouldn't register in the game. The game has it set up where you do a quick flick of the Wii Remote UP, causing you to jump when in the morph ball phase. One little control issue I had with Metroid Prime 3 was jumping when as the morph ball. If you press the 1 button, it will open your map screen and allow you to change control settings, as well as see your inventory and current objectives. The -(minus) button is used to bring up Samus' visors screen, while the +(plus) button is used to go into Hypermode. The Nunchuk's C button changes you into the morph ball, and the Z button is used for targeting and grappling enemies or for using the grapple to swing in certain locations. You jump by pressing the B button, and shoot with the A button. You can increase or decrease how fast you turn under the options menu, and from my experience, I suggest setting the look sensitivity to "Advanced", as it allows you to turn and look around the fastest. You move forward and backward using the joystick on the Nunchuk and you turn left/right and look up/down by pointing the Wii Remote's IR reticule in those directions. I first reported back in January, after looking at data and statements from Nintendo, it appears that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii are no long being published.Ĭontrols - The controls in Metroid Prime 3 are really good, for the most part. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was re-released on the Wii in 2009, as part of the Metroid Prime Trilogy pack, which also included Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It was the third console entry in the Metroid Prime series, and the first Metroid Prime game to be on the Wii. Metroid Prime 3 was developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was released in North America on August 27, 2007, with a retail sale price of $49.99. ![]()
