built 127 days ago
Nintendo gave the development of Metroid Prime to the U.S. based Retro Studios in part due to the fact that the Metroid series, while being incredibly popular in the United States, has never sold as well in Japan. more

After seven long years, Nintendo's most famous bounty hunter finally returned in Metroid Prime. This game took the traditional 2D side-on view of previous Metroid games and dragged it kicking and screaming into the 3D world. Sporting amazing graphics, a musical score to kill for and some of the most intense and involving gameplay on the GameCube, Metroid Prime was an instant classic and is still loved by gamers everywhere.

Game Informer (95/100) says it's the best Prime to date: "Corruption isn't just the best-looking Wii game to date; it's the best Metroid Prime game period. This is due in large part to the fluid controls. The highly debated, stubborn lock-on aiming system has been replaced with something far better. You can finally look around while moving by aiming the Wii remote."

Ultimately, it is still Metroid Prime, with most of the strengths intact - a brilliant 3D world with impeccable design, attention to detail and amazing production values. For all the little faults you could level at it, it's one of the best games available for the Wii.

Metroid Prime 3 has been hailed as one of the first 'hardcore gamer' game to come to the Wii. Up till now, we've seen lots of casual games hit the console (Cooking Mama, Wii Play, Boogie, the list goes on and on), but I think everyone will agree that Prime 3 is more of a gamer's game than anything we've seen on Wii (except, perhaps, Twilight Princess).
