Finished Metroid Prime 3: Corruption today. With a time of 16:10. I've finished Prime and Hunters. XD I played a bit of Echoes, but I couldn't get into it. I really should play it though. Anyway MP3 was very good. The original Prime was one of the greatest, most rewarding games I had played. MP3 doesn't give me the same feeling, but it still a very well-crafted game. Which is the point of the Prime games. They feel like games. Not movies that you play. They're very gamey...you have to shoot doors to open them. The control scheme for MP3 was perfect. I think. I would the advance setting and kept lock-on...on, since I was used to lock-on from the original Prime. I can't speak for the other play modes, but that combination was perfect. Very simple, yet excellent. Only flaw as far as the controls go is that when Samus pulls a lever or something, she uses her left hand. For you to do the action, you have to use your right hand. Rather jarring and breaks the illusion. I'm sure they could've mapped those movements to the Nunchuck instead of the Wiimote. The game looked great. Once again, Nintendo used a fake version of widescreen - which really displeases me. But the framerate is smooth, and in motion it is easily superior to the other Prime games (still screencaps really make it look awful). What I didn't like about this game, was the same think I disliked about Hunters. The original Prime is one very large world, made up of interconnected sub-worlds. To an extent, its free-roam. There's a lot of backtracking. But, overall everything feels very real and organic, almost as if it were living. In Hunters and Corruption you fly to various planets instead of having one large interconnected world. In Corruption, there are then areas of those planets that you can only access by flying, so the interconnectedness is severed even more, The game is still a First Person Adventure (not a First Person Shooter) like its predecessors, but I think it has a lot more shooting. Which isn't bad. The puzzles are still there. I think they just found a better balance this time around. The original Prime's final boss was the hardest I'd faced. When you beat that thing, you felt so relieved that it was all over. Unfortunately, Corruption's final boss is easier than its first boss. :x Voice acting is very well done too. So, yeah. Very enjoyable experience and a must have game for Wii owners even if you haven't played a Prime or any Metroid game before. Like the other installments in the Prime series it is completely immersive once you get into it. Now that that's out of the way...I still have Diamond too complete. And, I do want to. I'm just having such difficulty enjoying or getting into the game. I don't know why I don't like this one or Ruby and Sapphire. They're all pretty much the same game. I loved the original, and GSC, and FR and LG. Not sure why I don't like the others. With Brawl on the way, I'm going to be playing a lot of Melee so I stand a chance against you guys once we're online. Also going to have a new Animal Crossing blog.
