Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Now I’ll review Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which is a great game for the Wii! Click “more” below to read the review.

The graphics on this first-person shooter are great, and the storyline is much better than in the two before it. Basically, you are Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, and have to work for the Galactic Federation to defeat the Space Pirates, who are covering planets with Phazon, a strange blue mineral that is very dangerous. In the beginning, you have to meet up with a commander of the army, along with another couple bounty hunters. Each of the bounty hunters are supposed to be sent to different planets to extinguish the Leviathans, huge bomb-like things that drill into a planet’s core and infest it with Phazon.

Anyway, while talking to the commander, the ship is attacked by a group of Space Pirates. You have to fight them off, and then go down to the planet below. When there, you realize a Leviathan is hurtling towards the planet. Then you’ll have to run around the space station, trying to get to the control tower. Once there, you’ll have a run-in with Dark Samus, who shoots all of your bounty hunter comrades and then you with Phazon. If you guessed, this is why it is called “Corruption”… Because the rest of the game is about you saving the planets from the Phazon bombs while you are slowly corrupted by the Phazon…

Anyway, it’s a cool game. A little too easy in the end, if you ask me. If you have already played a Metroid game, I suggest you choose the harder mode of the game. The easier mode is really for beginners who have never played a Metroid game before.

The controls are pretty nice, too. To aim, you obviously use the Wii Remote to point at enemies and shoot. It also has little fun parts like twisting door locks and pumping up unpowered doors with your hand. Also, the grappling hook does not use a button, you have to jerk your Nunchuck like you are throwing something and it will grab onto whatever you are targeting… Then you can pull back to break or open whatever you grabbed onto. Cool, huh? ;D

Here are some pics from the game

This is a picture from the Gallery, which has pictures of Samus and some of her enemies…

Here’s a picture of Samus shooting (obviously)

Eh… This picture’s kinda tiny, but it’s of Samus shooting at a bunch of robots.

This is a picture of when Samus is hit by the Phazon blast shot by Dark Samus in the Control Tower. You can see the other bounty hunters getting hit also.

Here’s a picture of Samus shooting at a Space Pirate, to give you an idea of how the first-person action works

This is a pic of the cutscene that shows this big boss, if I’m not mistaken it’s the very first one. (Someone tell me if I’m wrong)

Aannd that’s it for today. See you all later 0_o
