My thoughts eh could of have been better,but oh well not stoping me from getting it !

It liked the fan art version way better.

Meh, could have been better, but it's not bad.

Take off that giant orange warning lable and you're set.

Thanks for posting the image up. I dint know how to do that.

Kinda dull. Still getting the game though.

That's the CE version. What about the regular?

I rather have preffered this one instead.

Wow, that's really boring box art. I guess it somewhat promises epicness... Just take out the big "Collector's Editon" label and change the color so it doesn't look so bland. This definitely won't catch anyone's eyes while scanning a wall of games.

The fan-art version looks amazing though.

I actually like the box art, it's really understated but powerful or bold at the same time. However, the fan box art is absolutely amazing and would be worth paying for on it's own. In fact if that were the box art for the game I would probably spend more time looking at the discs and cover than playing the game itself (okay maybe a slight exaggeration).

What he said.

It's pretty dull but the game better be good.

That is awesome-looking. X3

It looks pretty decent although that big orange "Collectors Edition" stripe kinda kills it.

Could have been waaaaaaaaaaaaay coolerMonsieurX

I thought it looked pretty sweet. Then again, my expectations have been lowered ever since I saw the Conduit's and Dead Space's box art. I like the simplicity of this one. Will this be regular retail price?

I already have all three prime games but I might buy this.

Actually I like it quite a bit. The only thing I would change is making it so Samus' face isn't being hidden behind the "Wii" logo on the top.

that's little plain but im still getting it anywayfunsohng

Same for me.

Haven't they all been reviewed?

Same here. The real boxart is terrible, why they think it is cool to put a giant orange stripe in the middle of the box!

Metroid Prime 3 yes. Not the NPC Metroid Prime games.

I still can't believe they actually fit all three games on 1 disc

shows how much cooler MP3 could've been with more time...and ya know... effort.

hmm... might be getting it.

GC disks had a cap of 1.5GB and Wii disks can be dual layeredfor 8.54GB. I doubt Retro used ALL of the GC memory as well.

no, I'm not saying the game was terrible. I enjoyed it rather somewhat....

I'm just saying, it could've been bigger/longer. I would say the game was probably the same length of the others, or even shorter. If Retro developed a 1.5GB size game when a Wii disc is 8.54GB... (and the game didn't look any better than it's predacessors besides smalleffects) then obviously they could've done more compared to what we actually got.

maybe Other M will maximize the Wii's potential

I've never been so happy looking down a arm cannon...

[QUOTE="danger_ranger95"]

[QUOTE="FFCYAN"]MP3 is a critically acclaimed game and is considered one of the best looking Wii games 2 years after release. The effort is there.

they're adding bloom to the first two games (which takes up space), and Metroid Prime was not linear what so ever, even MP2 had more back tracking (like original Metroids) while compared to MP3. MP3 had very minimal back tracking, and was the most linear by far out of the 3. (I'm guessing you forgot the 3? lol)

How do you figure Prime 3 has more intricate architecture?Like detail to the walls and thelike?The game's enviroments were not larger by anymeans, and the only planet I could see being more in depth is Elyssia, but that's mostly open space with just the rail systems.

Everything you mentioned again, is an effect...and if they were enhanced compared to the previous games, it was minimal. Even enemy AI was similiar.

I didn't expect a revamp of the game engine, but I still think that Retro could've done better overall even if all they touched on was graphics/effects. I think they were more concentrated on the controls, and didn't have enough time to up th graphics even more.

I keep trying to find comparisons (screens) but I hate doing that. I'll just wait until my copy gets here to actually make a better judgement lol. I honestly didn't notice that big of a difference though.

oh well, the box art sucks!

[QUOTE="danger_ranger95"]

[QUOTE="FFCYAN"]Metroid Prime was more linear than the other Primes, especially MP 2: Echoes which I'm playing through again. There's your length argument right there. MP3 has larger, more intricate architecture, more dynamic lighting like bloom and HDR(the lighting in the other Primes pale in comparision). Also, compare the in game models of MP3 with MP/MP2 and even those are an improvement.

yeah, I guess I see what you're saying.

There was more going on screen than the previous games, I will agree with that for sure. Maybe it's just because I haven't played the Gc titles in so long, and when I finally played 3, I just expected more. The character models do definitely have higher poly counts as well.

Prime

Prime 2

Prime 3

obviously 3, does indeed include (this screen) lots and lots of bloom.I would have to say thatthe Pirate homeworld was my favorite area, design wise though, it had alotgoing onvisually compared to Norion.The enemy models do look alot smoother.

but the biggest thing I noticed that wasn't changed that much was the arm cannon.

I still can't wait to play all 3 with the Wii controls though... should be fun!

I rather have preffered this one instead.

OMG WTF IS THIS? WHERE DID THIS COME FROM IS IT REAL? SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME! I WILL PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS IF IT IS! IFANYONE CAN TELL ME I WILL ALSO BUY YOU YOUR OWN UNICORN AND X-MAN OF YOUR CHOICE!!!!

Don't plan on getting it. From what I saw on Youtube videos, they actually cropped the original 4:3 view of MP/MP2 to give them 16;9 widescreen. That means you see less upper and lower parts, and overall, less screen.:?

As far as control goes, I guess I'm content with the old GC controls and would rather buy new games instead.

the cover is cool, except for that out of place orange collector's edition strip.... wth.
