Metroid

User Rating: 9 | Metroid Prime Trilogy WII

Love this series. From the original to the most recent. I've spent the better part of a decade shamelessly drooling all over these games so I'll just redirect you to our reviews of Metroid Prime 1 and 2 for GameCube and Corruption for Wii, where you'll find ridiculously in-depth analyses. What you need to know for the purposes of this review is that the Metroid Prime series takes the very essence of the classic 2D titles starring space bounty hunter Samus Aran and transitions it to the third-dimension. All of the acclaimed adventure-heavy gameplay mechanics that defined those titles now define these ones, which come to life by way of a stylish first-person perspective complemented by various visors that the heroine dons.
