It has its problems, but Metroid Prime 3 is and will be one of the best games for the Wii
Prime 3 changes the formula just a bit , the lonely feeling is still present, but at times that feeling disappears with your galactic federation allies, for me, that change is good becouse it makes it feel like NEW not like a repetetion from the last two, but for some metroid fans this might not be good.
This prime improves many things especially the controls, yes, they are perfect, using samus has never been so realistic, and the FPS gameplay is ideal for the metroid franchise and gives Prime 3 much more action than the last two primes. Enemies are more intersting and dynamic this time with their shields, whips and teleporting abilities making them very fun to fight. Graphics feel a little bit the same, but the impresive and colorfull world enviroments with incredible views makes you feel that the graphics were improve somehow. Boss battles are intense and the bosses are huge, the bad thing is that almost all the bosses have the same attacks like the shock wave attack were they jump and when they land they create a huge wave of energy which can be evaded by just jumping and some other attacks that makes them a little bit repetitive but trust me each one of them have some moves that makes them different . Samus s weapons and abilities are still fun and impressive with the grappling hook as my favorite which you use by swinging your nunchunk, the bad thing here is that you dont have a lot of weapons to choice like in the last two, BUT that is fixed with the inclusion of the hyper mode were your weapons cause a lot of damage, its fun to use and dangerous to, each time you entered in hyper mode you will lose one energy tank plus that if you stay to long on hyper mode you will die.
So in my conclusion Metroid Prime 3 is an amazing, were persons that had never play a metroid game will love it and SOME metroid veterans will either love it or hate it, despite being a little bit short and a little bit soulless in story the game doesnt deserves a score lower than 8.5, so I recommend this game to everyone, to the fans and to the persons that doesnt even know that samus is a women
