A great Sci-Fi game that takes advantage of the Wii's controls

I am a fan of Sci-Fi (games, books, etc.). This is one of the things that caught my interest when I heard of the Metroid series. This is my first Metroid game and I love it.

The story is very interesting and has a few twists. The combat can be hard. But not a bad hard. When you're not doing battle with pirates and bugs, you're solving puzzles involving tunnels (in ball mode), destroying an item in order to destroy other items, etc. And the suit upgrades are cool and it's always cool to get a new upgrade. Controlling your ship is also a cool feature. Commanding your ship to bomb a target, use the ship's magnetic grapple to lift heavy objects, land at a new landing zone, etc.

However, my personal favorite feature is the Wii's controls. This game really takes advantage of the Wii's controls. You use the Wii Remote to aim your gun, use certain computers and devices (pulling, twisting, pushing, etc.), and others. The Nunchuk is for using the grapple. Pulling back and hurling forward to throw it at the object, then pulling back for whatever. The Wii controls is what makes this game so great.

My only complaint is that the grapple can be annoying. Sometimes it is slow upon casting (especially when you're in a hurry).

This is currently one of my favorite games for the Wii.
