...is it advisable to buy Metroid prime 3? Will it require me to read Wikipedia faqs just to get into the game? The game looks amazing, and I need a good FPS, what do you think?

Just get MP3: Corruption, and read Wikipedia for a summary of the series. Also, go ahead and download Super Metroid on the VC. MP3 will be the best 3d Metroid and Super Metroid is the best 2D Metroid.

Reviews are in no way necessary, they will only tell you that the game is great anyway. You can read Wikipedia, download the retrospective from gametrailers, or read the history of metroid over on IGN. you should be able to get a handle on the story using any of those sources.

This is no run and gun FPS like Halo. It's an adventure game, like Zelda, in first person.

You can run and gun in MP3...but you'll be doing more adventuring.

I'd seriously recommend getting the first Prime and the Second one. Prime is only $8 for crying out loud, and I think that Echoes is like $15. They're not expensive.

Yeah this really helps. I've played most of the Metroids and I didn't even know most of the story until this.

to be honest story line means SO little to the metroid prime series it's ridiculous, it has an ongoing story, but that's basically only for hard-core metroid fans

buy the game, it's gonna be awesome

I agree. They are some of the best games of all time. Anyone would be stupid not to pick them up.

i play metroid echoes on my wii all the time.

the wii plays all gmaecube games; it is 100% backwards compatible; it excepts the smaller sized discs in the same slot.

what you will need is a used gc controller....about 7 bucks and a memory card...you might also want to get SSBB to play on the wii too
