I have always been fascinated with Metroid, in fact the first game I bought on my own for the NES was Metroid. Corruption if finally what it should be in first person form. I loved the visuals and the story kept me on my toes waiting to see what was around the next corner. I wish Nintendo would have come up with a multi player version similar to the DS Hunters, but the game was enough fun I still consider it one of the Wii's best!

Metroid

Corruption ws an exetremely fun game. It was amazing when the Space Pirates first attack, and you see the best graphical first-person shooter on Wii. The particles of the explosions were awesome. It took me 50+ hours to complete the game with everything. One of the coolest, or should I say hottest, weapons in the game is the plasma cannon. It would melt your enemis into liquid. The only issue that I had with the game was that If you missed something, it would take a while to get yourself back on track. Still, this was a very enjoyable game.

Finish your "PRIME" meal

one of the best games for Wii. It was my first and after two hours of game play i had 25% done. the begining can be a little boring because all you do is walk around the G.F.S. Olympus but it gets better and fast. My favorite is when you have to fight another bounty hunter(once youy friend until Corupption from to much phazon) on Bryyo. You should play it first before i tell you the rest of the game and the ending is great it shows... haha just joking.

Mother brain would be proud...err mad..eh

I really like the game franchise obviously like most since conception, this does not stray. Prime 3 is a great title for the Wii, one of the few reasons I had to buy one. I have not played many shooters on the Wii yet, but this one is great. Beautiful alien graphics, as well as environment. Must have for classic and new Nintendo fans alike.

Awesome Game

The Original Metroid games were good to begin with but when Prime 1, 2, and hunters came out I almost gave up on the series. Then Corruption came out and I gained a whole new respect for FPS's. The controls make the game so fun for the WII it is a must buy.
