Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
The Galactic Federation's Base Sector Zero is under attack by Space Pirates. As Samus you must boot up the generator to restore the defense systems. But at the end of her path, someone awaits you. If you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind the visor, think again. Take aim at evil with Nintendo's revolutionary controller. You control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything you have ever experienced before. Through the eyes of Samus, you experience a quantum leap in first-person control as you wield the Wii Remote. Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball on top of new surprises to help her survive her coming trials.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Reviews
The story line is amazing, especially the other bounty hunters(altho it's sad that they die).All in all, I would say this is the best video game out there. I love it. I have always loved Metroid, but this is by far the best of the series. The aiming and control is great and the bosses are awesome. I like how you can get awards and buy stuff with them.
It's nearly impossible to read and using it is often more confusing than just looking around the room you're in. I give it points for the space boost and the screw attack control scheme - that part worked pretty well. I give it a 4/5 for graphics. 1/5. Unfortunately, with all that's going on, you can rarely see it, so half the time you have no idea where you're aiming. Music / Sound. This was not fun.
Samus, the ship, the monsters, the cutscenes and the environments are all beautiful to behold, but the poor lighting and confusing color scheme made it nearly impossible to navigate some areas. Overall, though, the controls were frustrating at best. Overall I give this a 2/5. This is extremely inconvenient when navigating in tight situations where there's no room for the camera. The Z-targeting, if anything, makes it MORE difficult to aim. . Like a great movie soundtrack, you don't really notice it while you're there, and only really appreciate it in retrospect.
Gameplay. This game could have been great, but the technical issues and poor control scheme and UI made it nearly unplayable, at which point I completely lost interest in the game. Graphics. what the.)., the INCREDIBLY LENGTHY boss battles, and any number of things that robbed the game of any fun-factor it had at the beginning, I can't give this game more than a 1/5 for the gameplay. Looking up things in the menu system was incredibly frustrating, and the fetch quest at the end was contrived and pointless. With the lack of a calibration system, you can't just point your Wiimote at the screen and expect it to aim where you want; you have to be able to see the cursor.
I still finished it because I wanted to see what happens, but it felt more like a chore than a game. -. . Nevertheless, despite this shortcoming, the graphics themselves are excellent.
I never got used to the three different 'helmets' in the game, and I was always going into the wrong helmet for various tasks. -. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. When you go to/from the ball, it often shifts your perspective around. Between the poor load times, the frustrating control scheme, the monsters that just kept coming back over and over again (didn't I just kill you. 33 hours of frustration later, and you want to leap back into it. I find no faults with music nor sound.
Being a big fan of the original Metroid on the NES, and after reading all the reviews of the game, I had high hopes for this title. 2/5. The sound effects were all appropriate, with lovely explosions and beam noises and stereo effects. Paths around corners were way too easy to miss because the walls all blended into each other. This is where the game really starts to fall apart. 5/5.
The 3D map system is horrible. Replayability. Going from place to place took FOREVER because doors wouldn't open when you want them to (due to a long-standing bug - they have to load the adjacent zone before the door will open). Even if this game were replayable, I wouldn't want to. The music was very well done. . I think not.
Read on for details. Controls. When you finish the game, it does allow you to go back and play it in "hyper difficulty" mode, but why would you want to do that. The plot was uninteresting and convoluted, and about half-way through the game I no longer cared why I was performing these tasks - not that I could follow it anyway. Metroid should be fun. It was subtle, and you won't recognize many of the themes, but they added real atmosphere. Due to the lack of shading in the graphics engine, I spent way too much time muttering, "There's supposed to be a path here somewhere" than actually going from room to room.
A new feature is the addition of collectible points by scanning in game and those points can be used to redeem for game upgrades and can even be sent to friends who also own the game. This is overall an awesome must have game for the Wii that will provide you with entertainment worth much more than the price. And not just because it's another game in a classic series.
You will FEEL as if your right arm is Samus' cannon - you turn, she turns, you aim, she aims. The difficulty setting is also adjustable. And by all means, stand up when you play and get in the game. The controls are very responsive and adjustable to your liking.
The game takes full advantage of what makes the Wii a unique system - the Wii remote.
The bosses may be too easy for real Prime pros, but for those of us whose skills are perhaps low, having clever but beatable bosses saves the day. You aren't following the Metroid tradition of accumulating the same abilities after an initial weakening. Prime 2 had the most serpentine and confusing labyrinths which you had to traverse again and again in light and dark worlds, turning the game into more of a task than an adventure. That is, 95% of the time, the controls are a wonder. Your abilities don't get in your way.
Beams accumulate in power. 5. 7. Many times in Prime 1 and especially 2, you have to enter an area and take out wasps or something equally annoying before proceeding to do whatever you came to do. Much more linear level designs.
Just amazing what they were able to get the supposedly graphically-challenged Wii to produce. No Omega Pirate level frustrations in this one (at least on nominal settings). And hopefully you don't leave the room only to have to come right back. 2.
6. Visors are really minimized. Though some would claim this goes against the Metroid ethos, I think it really bolsters the exploring aspect of the game. And scanning a boss actually reveals what to do as opposed to vaguely confusing you (Metroid Hatcher is an exception however). Here, every room and corridor seems to have a fresh purpose. And there are plenty here. Bosses are actually fun. Fortunately, they've toned that down here, if not alleviated it altogether.
1. Being able to shoot whatever you want while moving wherever you want really opens up the gameplay. Controls are fantastic, except when they aren't. 4. They've thought up some clever new enhancements and even brought back a great old upgrade that had yet to be in 3D. Beautiful graphics. Great music.
The game should also get a special Wii award for being just about the only software to do something useful with the nunchuk's motion sensing abilities. 8. In some boss fights, the lock-on mechanism seems to work against you, and having your pointer go off the edge of the screen during a boss fight can lead to mass confusion. No more switching beams and visors. This game essentially corrects, tweaks, and upgrades everything good, great, and broken about the preceding 2 Metroid Prime games. No more endless battling low level pests. Although the endless bowser-bee chanting on Bryyo gave me a headache, this game carries on the tradition of great moody Metroid musical themes (and bringing back old themes).
3.
Example: There will be a small piece of rock lying in some corner that you need to blast to find your way out. which has a complete walk through of the game, so continued playing but then gave up again as it was not as much fun. The game totally sucks. These puzzles are just mindless. I gave up the game then found out this link: http://www.nextgenwalkthroughs.com/systems/wii/metroid3/index.php.
I have played RE4 for several hours and it was just awesome, the puzzles lent special life to the game. I mean the puzzles are really mindless sometimes. Now how on earth can you figure that out apart from hit and trial and missing it out several times. It is way too difficult in an absurd sense.
