Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

===[ BEGIN TRANSMISSION ]===


Greetings fellow AGNers.

Two days ago (August 27, 2007) while I was driving around my local shopping area I decided to check on the status of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (MP3:C) in hopes of purchasing the game. While I had recently decided that I was going to hold off purchasing any video games until a few months from now for financial reasons I drove by Game Stop and I just couldn’t resist. (Possible gaming addiction :)) I briskly walked into the store and went right up front where I had to wait for some customer to finish talking about branches of military service before I could make my purchase.

“What can you tell me about MP3:C?” I asked the Game Stop employee.

His reply was, “What do you want to know?”

After some brief dialogue, and paying in full for a copy of MP3:C I was then made aware that I could demo the game at the store’s kiosk. After familiarizing myself with the controls and the intro to the game I was glad that my hopes were not shattered. Then yesterday, after going to the dentist for two fillings, I picked up my copy of MP3:C, YAY!

Rest assured everyone, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has sweet controls and I could never play another FPS with dual joysticks again, but it’s not like I ever liked using dual joysticks in the first place. True, the accuracy isn’t as good as a mouse, but it comes close to using one, and considering this is new technology I’m impressed. Retro Studios was also able to take everything that I liked about the other two games in the series and improve upon them.

I look forward to everyone else’s response.

Sincerely,

Rijuhn

I think I am going to be picking up a copy sometime this afternoon. It's nice to hear some good reviews. I will have to post more once I have the chance to play it a bit.

I read about it and after playing the earlier Primes, I wanted to get it. Sadly my wallet is has a disorder that involves money. No Wii = no MP3:C for me.

I might play it someday, but I'm part of the crowd that doesn't find the Wiimote + Nunchuck combination for FPS very interesting or appealing. I like 2 analog sticks.

Also I should mention while I liked Metroid Prime, I only finished playing through it once, never played very far through MP2. I liked MP at first but eventually got bored. Part of why I'm not big on playing MP3.

The Metroid Prime series never appealed to me much in the first place.

I just got MP3 and it is amazing. Of course I love its gameplay and it has me wanting to play it every moment of my life, the same way that many new releases do in the first few days of owning them, and that's a fun feeling, kind of like a weaker version of new love, but also its level of immersion and simulation is surprising and exciting. When Samus is sitting there in her cockpit, making decisions about which landing site of which planet to go to, it really feels like I'm in the cockpit, pressing buttons. Way back when the original Metroid Prime was announced as a first-person game, I was a little worried that it wouldn't be as fun as it could be because of that fact, but I quickly reversed my position, and this game is just further proof of how wrong I was. And now we have stuff like actual character interaction! Besides just killing! It's absolutely fantastic. I love this game.

I will get this game in October when it comes to this backward bum hick land.

Anyhoo, I expect MP3 to become one of my favorite games ever. If it truly is the best game in the Prime series as every review tells me, then it will be a spectacular game.

That must be a very small crowd.

I've heard very good things about the game, and Nintendo Power gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 (note that TP got a 9.5). Naturally, GameSpot did what they're best at doing* and give it an 85 out of 100.

Actually, it's quite a big crowd as the Wiimote + Nunchuck sucks for FPS gaming. While a keyboard and mouse is considered ideal, the dual analog stick setup works well, but the Wiimote and Nunchuck leave ALOT to be desired. You're fooling yourself if you believe everybody loves the Wiimote + Nunchuck for FPS idea.
