So sheep and people with a wii.

Its been 2 days since mp3 released and by now most of you that have it have played it for a while. Do you still disagree with the gamespot review? does it deserve more or less? I remember when zelda tp was reviewed all the sheep were going on a rampage but after they played the game alot of them would agree with the review or see where he was coming from.

Definetly 9.0+ material. It's a better game than MP1, I've had more fun playing the first 5 hours than both MP1 and MP2 combined....honestly...88Ghost89

I completely agree with you.

I honestly hated that MP3 review for reasons other than the score.

It was one of the very worst written reviews I've seen on GSpot.

I mean its jumbled, incoherent, and for like 90% of it it is actually praising the game and then its like

"no HD graphics blah, nitpick this and that, we don't like reading or listening so we didn't understand the plot, no multiplayer blah blah FPS"

SERIOUSLY, any site that calls MP a FPS doesn't get it.

I mean look at the critics say column next to the GS score. 9.5! press average.

That was a terrible review, a really really good game.

I'd personally give it a 9.4 maybe a 9.5.

I have played and beaten all of the Primes, inculding this one, an dI have to say that the third installation is better than the others. This game is much deserving of a higher score and I disagree with many things the review said.coreygames

I honestly don't understand the arcane logic the reviewers at Gamespot employ when churning out these things. This review is almost as off as many of the reviews for my favorite PC games in the past.

well i havent been able to find metroid here yet cause everyone is sod out but on the Zelda thing i have played through it and it is an amazing game so im guessing that i wont agree withyour view on thereview.

you do realise thatthe review score actually says that it is a great game in the first place right? apparenly not.

i know it seems boring but this does prove my point have a look see

10.0: Prime This exceedingly rare score refers to a game that is as perfect as a game can aspire to be at its time of release. Obviously, the constantly changing standards for technology and gameplay will probably make this game obsolete some day, but at its time of release, a game earning this score could not have been improved upon in any meaningful way.

9.0-9.5: Superb We absolutely recommend any game in this range, especially to fans of that particular genre. However, games that score in the 9 range are also typically well suited to new players. Games that earn 9s are naturally uncommon, and earn GameSpot's Editors' Choice Award for their outstanding quality.

8.0-8.5: Great This range refers to great games that are excellent in almost every way and whose few setbacks probably aren't too important. We highly recommend games in the upper half of this range, since they tend to be good enough to provide an enjoyable experience to fans of the particular genre and to new players alike.

7.0-7.5: Good A game within this range is good overall, and likely worth playing by fans of the particular genre or by those otherwise interested. While its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, a game that falls in this range tends to have noticeable faults.

6.0-6.5: Fair Games that earn 6-range ratings have certain good qualities but significant problems as well. These games may well be worth playing, but you should approach them with caution.

5.0-5.5: Mediocre A 5-range score refers to a game that's "merely average" in the negative sense. These games tend to have enough major weaknesses to considerably outweigh their strengths. There's probably a substantially better, similar game out there for you.

4.0-4.5: Poor Games that just don't work right and maybe didn't spend enough time in production tend to fall in to this category. They simply lack the cohesion and quality that make other games fun.

3.0-3.5: Bad You probably shouldn't get too close to a game in this range. Any of its positive qualities most likely serve only to make the rest of it seem even more disappointing.

2.0-2.5: Terrible Beware, for a game in this range is almost entirely devoid of any remotely decent or fully functional features.

1.0-1.5: Abysmal Ouch. The rare game that falls in this lowest-of-the-low range has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Don't play this game.

You have to keep in mind that games with a said rating are naturally compared in quality with other games with a similar rating. If you've played Warioware, you'd wonder why Prime 3 is scored that much lower. Granted, they are different kinds of games, but quality is quality regardless.

snip? little confusedby that.

anyways im just saying that by gamespot standards an eight 8.5 is'nt a flop just like heavenly sword isnt technically a flop (though i was expecting a little more from that game)

After playing it for about 4 hours, I have to say I disagree with the score. I'm not even a huge fan of the Metroid series, but I'm having more fun playing the first 4 hours of this one than I had during the entire time I played the first one (which I still haven't finished, and I haven't touched the second one). The controls are brilliant; at one point I aimed and shot a small little fuel gel thing from across the map to light it on fire with incredible ease.

The only thing that slightly disappoints me are the graphics, but that's probably because I'm running it with composite cables on an HDTV. It doesn't really bother me with the huge scale and the fast framerate.

P.S. The second boss fight was *insane*.

No I actually don't agree. Playing through the game the controls are amazing and it's a step up in every way for the MP series. Gameplay is faster paced, at 60 FPS mind you, while looking more beautiful than ever. I haven't beaten the game yet but so far I'd say it's a 9.0 experience.

prime 3 stomps Twillight princess and wario ware into the ground. how if t did not get a 9 is unknown to me. the two things i was dissapointed about when it comes to cooruption are the game ending and the last boss being a bit to easy for a last boss. then again last bosses seem to be getting easier and easier. general ram on insane three tries... Last boss on prime (wont spoil it for those that dont know) one try. oh for those of you that did not know that general ram was the last boss on gears... catch the f up will ya!

the game is gorgious! if you have a freind with the wii and owns the game go check it out. there is this cook glow to everything! the level design is just amazingly well made! i love the game. I seriously was having troubles making myself finish bioshock so i could play prime 3. i kept saying i can always come back to bioshock after i am done. and bioshock is an amazing game. i just like the controls on prime 3 so much more. they are so fluid and i feel like i am almost playing a pc FPS. i aim up and pop a few head shots left right all as fast as my hand moves. none of that waiting for the analog to catch up crap that annoys me to no ends! the 360 really needs to add kb&mouse support in there next update!

i would not give prime 3 a 9.5 like ign did. i would give it a 9. right even with bioshock. they are just about as good respectivly speaking. the story in bioshock was better, the art is really even, the contorls in prime 3 are perfect. (when i read about people having trouble jumping in ball form i dont get it because only once did it not read my motion for jump. then i realized i tryed to jump before my morph ball was on the ground again and that is why it did not jump)

this game is worth owning! if you have a wii and dont own this game you are missing out! go pick it up!

In short, there's no one in this entire thread who has played the game, and actually aggrees with the review. I haven't played it yet :(, but even if I didn't have the slightest clue what the review was about, all the contradictions would still be painfully obvious.Tylendal

This is where I dislike the .0 or .5 reviewing system that GS now has.

The game is wonderful, but I am hardly in as much awe as the first time I tossed the first Metroid Prime into my Gamecube, and NO WHERE near the awe the first time Super Metroid was inserted into my SNES.

MP3 is a great game, but all flaming aside graphically and technically Wii is lightyears behind 360 and PS3 and as such when you are weighing it against what is coming out on those two consoles its hard to hand out a 9.0+ when something like BioShock got that score. If the review was comparing MP3 to anything we have seen on Wii thus far its a 9.5 without question, but the reviews place all next gen consoles on the same footing and are judged by the same standard and that is where Wii is being hurt.

8.5 is reasonable, although I would have handed it an 8.8.

I have no desire to play MP3.MrDziekuje

at times like this, i hate being a european gamer... >_>

Sounds like there's a lot of positive feedback about the game.

Do you all think MP3 has set the standard for fps controls for the wii? It sounds like it at the moment, and imo, that is more important than some number on the Gamespot site.
