Looking back Metroid Prime 3 was one of the most innovative games this gen.

Prime 3 is one of the most innovative games this gen.

Not only was it way more innovative than the first Metroid Prime, which was innovative in it's own right, but it added grapple hook on the nunchuck and switches and levers on the Wii remote.

I seriously doubt Metroid Other M will be anywhere near as good as Prime 3, then again Prime 3 deserved a 9.5 and was robbed just because of one mission the reviewer didn't like towards the endgame. (admitted)

What did you think was the most innovative game this generation?

Metriod prime 3 was the worst metroid in my opinion, have you played the original snes metroid or the one on nes???????much better than the 3d metroids.

I'd say Mario Galaxy rather so than MP3. I agree though that MP3 was underrated on GS.

MP was way more innovative than 3. But I agree 8.5 is way too low for it.

i agree that MP3 was one of the best games so far..

but most innovative i dont know..

MP3 uses the gesturebased motion controlls very well.. but it is not the first game to do it.

Mp3 also uses FPS controls on the wii to perfection. but there were games that did it beforehand..

I am yet to play truly innovative game this gen.

I don't know if I would call it the most innovative, since in my opinion it still looks like a GC game with motion controlls. Having said that, because of the motion controls MP3 is by far my favorite of the MP series. The controls just work so amazingly well it was the closest you could get to having keyboard and mouse on consoles.

My only beef with MP3 is that the controls worked so well the game was almost tooeasy.

:lol:

It was far less innovative than either Prime and Echoes. The aiming with the c-stick was replaced with a IR sensor, the actions you described (grapple beam) was replaced with a more complicated and far buggier/less reliable version of a button press and the game was FAR more linear and action-oriented than the previous two games. If anything, it was a blight on the Prime series (despite it being a polished and well-made game).

As for "most innovative" games this gen, I'd probably go with Mirror's Edge (for adding a whole new depth to movement in first person), STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (for creating an actual, living world) and Excite Truck (for actually making analogue stick steering in racing games obsolete, and less intuitive).

Metroid Prime 1 was the most innovative.

going from 2D to such a faithful recreation of the series in 3D is a monster task that was done perfectly.

wait.. i agree with prime but.. echoes..? echoes uses the same control scheme of prime and has no innovation at all. its just Prime with better graphics and more content.. corruption is a lot more innovative then echoes at least.. and the grapple beam is actually better then the iterations in Prime and echoes because it can be used for ripping of shields or overcharging/draining the enemy etc (combat) while the grapple beam in Prime and Echoes was only used for platforming..

I have yet to play Echoes on my GC :( and I don't have a Wii :(Salt_The_Fries

Echoes is awesome, it's my favorite of the Metroid Prime games, just barely edging out the first game

if i had to rank 'em

1. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
2. Metroid Prime
3. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Corruption was still decent, but they did go a little too much for the action-oriented

that said, i still enjoyed it, more-so than a lot of fps this gen

Metroid Prime 1 was more innovative than Metroid Prime 3.

Metroid Prime 3 completely lost the "WOW!"-factor that the first one had.

I really enjoyed it though and I do have to give it credit for being the only Wii game with good console FPS controls.

I'm enjoying Prime 3's gameplay a lot more than the first two. But I stil don't like the story, characters or scanning.tomarlyn

Eh, the game was decent but aside from some forgettable motion controls it was like Metroid Prime lite. It had the core elements of a Prime game, but it seemed to miss the point completely. It's not my first candidate for a "truly innovative" game.

I felt the controls were really good but not in the same league as Mario Galaxy in terms of innovation.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is one of my favorite games this generation period. I've yet to beat the first two yet, but it's on my to-do list. I am playing through MP1 right now.

Everything in MP3 was amazing. The worlds, the music, the characters, etc. I can't vouch for Aether, but Tallon IV so far doesn't have as much personality as Bryyo and Elysia do. I'm also only a quarter of the way through MP1 so I can't rule it out just yet. As for the characters, Rundas is one of the most badass hunters in the entire series. His battle music is badass as well. That brings me to the music. The music in this game really brings the environments to life. Here are some great examples...

Elysia

Bryyo

Those are just a few of the great pieces in MP3. All of this coupled with the excellently written Lore which only gives the worlds that much more personality, makes MP3 one amazing game.

i played excite truck and the conrols were meh. i would completely avoid forza if it had motion controls.

analog/racing wheel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wii mote with horrible steering.

no offense to you,foxhound..just my opinion :)

objection to excite truck. The problem with that game is it's so loose and arcadey. I don't know how the motion controls would work in a Forza a game that isn't as loose and as free as Excite Truck. That said duel analog was always inferior to those kickass(but way too expensive) wheels anyway :D

Personally, I though MP3 was by far the worst in the series.

The 1st one blew my mind, and I loved the second one, but they cut out much of the heavy exploration elements in the 3rd one and made it more of a straightforward generic shooter. MP3 was a let down. Taking away so many elements that made the 1st one a classic and addingnew control aspectshardly makes it some spectacular piece of innovation.

Not the most innovative, but it is overrated i suppose.

I don't see it being innovative at all.

tc you gotta be joking ,its just a fps been there done that

the most innovative game this gen is obviously super paper mario can you name another game that you can switch from 3d view to 2d view (dont even try gta cause thats over headview)

and to 2nd poster you cant compare a fps to a action side scroller

2 totally different formulas
