Nintendo Wii Item ID: #426Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
WAS
Product Information:
Item DescriptionYou ARE Samus with Wii control! By moving around with the Nunchuk and aiming Samus’s gun with the Wii Remote, you’ll do more than look through the eyes of Samus—you’ll experience a quantum leap in first-person control. Fire on the run, grapple enemies and yank off their shields, or manipulate machinery with movements of the Nunchuk and Wii Remote—it all adds up to a level of immersion only possible on the Nintendo Wii, and the best first-person controls on any platform, period. ** Corruption is everywhere… Dark Samus, Samus’s longtime nemesis, is corrupting entire planets by launching enormous seeds called Leviathans into them. Samus must travel to multiple planets—each with unique alien landscapes and dangers—to fight the corruption and track several other bounty hunters, all the while fighting the spreading Phazon that threatens to take over her body completely. As it corrupts her, it also grants her incredible powers… ** Enter Hypermode! Samus will employ a never-before-used device called a Phazon Enhancement Device (P.E.D) that harnesses the Phazon within her and puts her into a state called Hypermode. In Hypermode, Samus can destroy Phazon impediments and annihilate enemies with superpowered weapons…but it drains her health to use it, and she risks utter corruption if she doesn’t empty her Phazon meter within a certain time frame. You’ll need to carefully balance your need for ultimate power with the inherent danger of corruption. Item Reviews5 Responses to “Metroid Prime 3: Corruption”Leave a Reply |

I got this just before they released metroid prime trilogy and I am so mad. DO NOT BUY THIS BUY Metroid Prime Trilogy Collector’s Edition FOR THE SAME PRICE.
This is by far one of the best Wii games out there. The graphics are amazing. From Samus herself to the insignificant little bugs. I LOVE IT!
Retro Studio has done it again. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a superb end to the Metroid Trilogy. The first Metroid game made for Wii, Retro really lets you take advantage of the Wii controls to point, shoot, and strafe. The graphics are superb.
The plot feels pretty cinematic, almost a combination between a game and movie. Unlike past Metroids, Samus actually talks to people and controls her ship to fly to other planets! There is a whole cast of characters, including other bounty hunters. Overall, it’s probably one of the most intricate Metroid games.
Sometimes this makes means Metroid Prime 3: Corruption doesn’t quite have that same feel of loneliness and exploration of other Metroid games. There’s nothing about ancient lost civilizations (like the Chozo) or ancient ruins. Indeed, the entire ambience feels a bit less sinister – more like Halo than Metroid.
Also, the game is notably easier than Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Missions are more straightforward and maps are fairly linear – not too much chance of getting lost. For me, Echoes was a bit too hard, but Corruption might be a bit too easy.
Overall, I wouldn’t say this game is better than Metroid Prime (an admittedly high standard), but it is close. Definitely worth getting for any Metroid fans, especially since Metroid: Other M is delayed a few months.
Played it a part of Metroid Trilogy
PROS.
-A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIBE: While the first two game are mainly solo mission where don’t get to interact that much with other living beings, this one is completely opposite. This game has quite a few interesting characters with awesome abilities (Unfortunately not playable though)
-Gadgets: Again newer beams and other goodies.
-Hypermode: LOVE IT. New and most welcome addition. Don’t want to spoil it for you.
-YOUR SHIP IS ACTUALLY USEFUL: HA HA play to find it out.
-Very Creative use of Wii mote: Yup. You will be using wii mote in different ways to perform different actions. I liked it.
-Bosses: They are good. I like their abilities more than the fights themselves. Like in 1st and 2nd, you can’t just shoot them to kill them, you’ll have to use your nugget.
-Length: Only slightly longer than the first (definitely shorter than second)
-Bonuses: Same as first two (Love the 100% ending though.
CONS.
-Same as first two, LOTS OF BACKTRACKING, ANNOYING DOUBLE JUMPS (most annoying of trilogy, horrible), TOO MANY WORDS
-NO POWER-BOMB and NO COMBO SHOT …… WHAT THE HELL???
-Not that Metroid games are that adult, but this one felt a bit childish, art style is bit cartoonish
-Easy to miss USING AN UPGRADE: Upgrades in this game are very useful, but if you are not reading their details, you won’t utilize them fully making the experience dull. HIGHLY RECOMMEND USE GUIDE OR EXPLORE YOUR ABILITIES A LOT
The controls for Corruption are very intuitive. This alone makes the game enjoyable, even if you have a hard time figuring out where to go next. Prime retains the exploratory aspect of the Metroid series. The game features a number of cool upgrades that are new to the series, in addition to some of the familiars. Ending was okay, but couldn’t complain given how fun the game was.
