A worthy end to the trilogy in every aspect.

User Rating: 9 | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption WII
Back in 2002, Metroid Prime was translated to 3D for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was an amazing game, and it won many honors. It also marked the only Platinum Award winner in EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly). In 2004, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was released. While not as good as its predecessor, it was still a worthy game to play, and a great sequel. Now, 3 years later, the last in the trilogy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, has finally been released for the Nintendo Wii. For a console which desperately needs a worthy game to play, this is definitely it.

MP3 leaves off where MP2 ended. Samus is on her ship, finally waking up from her deep sleep. She returns to the G.F.S. Olympus when space pirates attack the ship. After you ward them off, you get sent on a mission to rid the planets of Phazon, a microscopic organism that can infect and, at its peak performance, "corrupt" the host, leading them to their doom. In the process, Samus becomes corrupted herself, and it's your job to get rid of the Phazon before it corrupts the universe. As a Wii title, it uses the IR of the Wii Remote. This is definitely the basis of a first-person shooter, as controls are tight and comfortable, and the aiming feels just right. You also have access to different planets, which can be easily viewable from your map. This is good, since the planets were very confusing in the last MP game. Also new are some visors. The very awesome one is the ship command visor. If you find a landing spot for your ship, you can bring up the SC visor, and the ship will go to the location. You can also call aerial strikes and can carry off important objects. Don't think of it as weird if you start to have a bond with your ship. Now, for the bad. Since it uses motion sensitivity, the game's difficulty has been toned down, and it is noticeable. Veterans will complete the game in a matter of hours, but it will still take them a while. Even for newcomers, this will be a easy game. This is a massive game, and you will notice it once you pop the disc in. This is a beautifully crafted game, and the graphics are top notch. All in all, this is a worthy end to the trilogy, and this will settle down the hardcore until the delayed SSBB comes out. If you own a Wii, you should get this game by any means necessary.
