Who cares, its just a rehash, Sheep are deluding themselves into thinking its going to be revolutionary just because of new controls.WuTangG

And Halo is revolutionary? This is more revolutionary than any game coming out in 2007. Everything else is EVOLUTION, not REVOLUTION.

[QUOTE="skixwolf"]Nintendo isn't hyping metroid prime 3, why should gamespot do it for them?Videodogg

Well, you DO see MP3 ads all over this site, and then theres the preview channel, and the nintendo website is very much hyping it. The only thing we haven't seen are TV spots.



lol... so they are selling this game to the wii owners... don't they want this game to be a KILLER APP that SELLS consoles, not just sells to current console owners?

There are now over 10 million Wii owners and growing......i dont see the problem with that. The Wii has not needed a "killer app" to move consoles...am i right?

Games don't sell the Wii. The current library is obvious evidence of that. Why should Nintendo waste money marketing a game when the masses seem content with the glut of shovel-ware on their welfare system.

If revolutionary is Wii Play and evolutionary is BioShock, I am going with evolutionary.

I am going into MP3 expecting the same thing as previous MP games, with a bit extra on the control side of things, which to me is not revolutionary, but evolutionary.

Well since it doesn't have a Microsoft logo on the front of the box, Jeffy will prolly bury it with his score, touting midi sound or "lack of blah blah...".cdrewsr388

"I wanted Ridley to be green in this game. 8.5! (since I can't give out 8.9 anymore)."

Yeah, that sounds right.

Revolution is: a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving.

That could apply to the Wii as a whole, as its a new way of thinking about games. However, is MP3 revolutionary? Not really. Its the same MP formula with a new way of controlling it.

Just like the 64 was revolutionary with the standard joystick, but games using it were not revolutionary.

[QUOTE="AntiType"]Samus has no voice acting! -0.5 points!foxhound_fox


Thing is, Samus isn't a silent protagonist like Link. She has spoken in three games in the series already and grunted in two.

Gamespot doesn't like hyping games its editors aren't interested in. Isn't that obvious?

Okay then, it's not revolutionary, but neither is any game in 2007, so people should stop bashing it for not being revolutionary.

Why should she?

Metroid is the youngest of 3. (Mario,Zelda and Metroid). None of those other franchises have protagonist that speak (although they all make noises). Why should Samus do the same. They are all family!

Metroid Prime 3 was at E3, while SSBB wasn't, so that's a lie. Metroid Prime 3 also has a commercial on TV, a preview channel that everyone who owns a Wii probably saw, a website, and ads all over the internet.

I never bashed anything.

And its the same criticism leveled at any game after its first sequel. You will always get the people saying Halo 3 is the same as Halo 2, or that Zelda has never changed, or MGS4 is MGS3 with an older Snake.

I t will never change, and there is something slightly true about those criticisms, but that is the same reason that those series' have loyal and devoted fans.

GOTY Awards Metroid has at Gamespot = 1

You don't know what trash is.

What does the first game have to do with the third game? Lmfao. Remember: The score decline between MP1 and MP2 (.6) was greater than the score decline between Halo 1 and Halo 2 (.3) ;)

If the pattern continues : MP3 = 8.5Halo 3 = 9.0 ;)

Marveless logic, and 9,7 - 0,3 = 9,4 - 0,3 = 9? WTF ???

the new system goes by 0.5, 9.1 rounds to 9. you're not good with math, eh?

I just have a bad feeling Gamespot is going to burn this one, give it an 8.5 or something. I once relied only on Gamespot for my reviews to influence game buying decesions. Now I find myself going to IGN more often then ever.

Regardless, everyone who played them knows that it's one of the best game series' ever...and it's ridiculous that there's not more excitement over MP3. But I'll tell you guys, I'm totally excited! Like I haven't been in years (since RE4) I don't care if GS gives it a 5.5 its going in my game library!

Any AAA game is great as long as it suits your taste. AAA around the board that is.

Transformers got a launch center. I'm sure there are enough people on this website who are anticipating this game to warrant a launch center.

If it does score an 8.5, I will enjoy it that much less. How much less? A whopping .5 worth of a subjective opinion set to numerical increments of .5 less. Pray it doesn't come to that.

I hope Jeffy reviews this game. If so, count on him finding some amusingly lamereasons to slap a 9.0 or 8.5 on MP3. The track record on Metroid games is flawless. Maybe Gamespot will roll out a MP3 launch center in the next couple of days.
