Not surprised at all. Pack 2 of the best games on the GC and one of the best games on the Wii, how could you not end up with an AAA title?

My main concern is this: the first two Prime games weren't really shooters, were they? They were more action-platformer-adventure games, like the original trilogy... does outfitting them with the shooter controls of MP3 have detriments? Granted, I never played any of them and I haven't finished the video.

-.5 on GS and you have your score, so it will score 9.0 by the look of things.

We have to see how Gamespot reviews it. Since this is System Wars. Also would this count as Exclusive since the 2 GCN games are being completely remade with new textures, updated graphics, new controls, slower wait times for the doors to open, new look for the visors (If I remember correctly) and Achievement System like Metroid Prime 3, and wide screen.

That's what I was going to ask, but I doubt it.

It may have better controls, but since the gameplay isn't changed dramatically, then I'm guessing it's still going to be non-exclusive.

Kinda like PGA Tour 10

gamespot is going to give it an 8.0 tops. the review will be the same as it always is for good wii games, bad waggle, bad graphics, no mii integration, too hard, not made for "casuals"....... gamespot sucks when it comes to the wii

Possibly -1.0, as they might be mad about the whole "repackaged games" thing. :/

My understanding is that they rebalanced the games to work well with the new controls. Also, while MP3 gave you more freedom with it's controls I felt that the lock on kept it fairly similar to the first two games in terms of gameplay.

Because people can buy it, though anyone could look at the individual game scores and see it's an epic package.

I wouldn't really count this. Three games that have been released for ages, two of them having improvements. It's a great deal, but it isn't worth bragging rights here in SW.

It's an awesome Package :P You don't think Lemmings would brag of having Halo 1/2/3 on the same package? Or Cows with MGS 2/3/4?

Why does it warrant another review if they were reviewed already? Might as well re-review Halo since its available on demand while we're at it. :roll:

Not surprised. 3 of the best games of the decade in the same package for the price of one. I am not getting it though as I already have the three.

They're doing both. smaller teams are handling the ports while the bigger teams are working on other Nintendo properties - Retro worked on the Trilogy, but they're also working on a new Wii title.

New controls + you can buy it. But who cares, Rune Factory Frontier didn't get a Game Spot review for [insert reason here].

Damn, I may be tempted to buy a Wii JUST for this. MP 1 and Echoes were some of the best FPS adventures ever created imo.

As high as this is being rated, IF GS even rates it, i believe they will complain about something, because they hate the wii and will give it AA. I still don't understand why they gave Corruption 8.5. GS gave that game a crappy score. 9.0 or even 9.5, easily.

Its like saying whats the point of reviewing a game like TMNT Reshelled or The Orange Box - A review is a review, doesn't matter what game it is. People review re-releases of DVDs ALL the time - why is it any different for games.

I dont see the point of reviewing this but oh well:Pmightychir
My thought's exactly. I can understand MP1 & 2 being essentially new games, but still... the experience is fundamentally unchanged.
