Is this going to be worth buying a wii for?
I heard Nintendo Power gave it a 10/10
IGN's review makes it sound like the best of the trilogy.
Help me Ophecksbi One Kenobi, you're my only hope.

yes buy it. ive read a couple of reviews that each said it is hands down the smoothest FPS controls they have seen. mix that with metroid and you've got one sexy game.

I want a wii but I want it to play with my girlfriend who likes gaming but entertaining games ans so.. I'm wondering which good games for two players or more are released yet ? And don't tell me mario party 8 caus Mario is gay !
I'm basically waiting for table tennis on the wii to buy it but if theres something out now I might buy it sooner..
btw table tennis on xbox 360 is one of the best game ever !

Eh, I'm not overly hyped, they seem to have designed the game specifically to generate an overlong, highly critical, convoluted post by mii. I did not want any voice acting, I didn't want any allies, I didn't want to fly to multiple planets... but they added all of these things. I like the feeling of solitude in Metroid games, exploring and penetrating deep into one mysterious self-contained remote alien world, by myself, not having my hand held, not going through a series of scripted events. This is why I disliked Metroid Fusion, that game successfully undermined everything that made Metroid... Metroid. The gameplay I've seen of MP3 looked like frickin' Halo.
But of course you have to buy it. It's Metroid. I don't doubt it will be a great game. Good games are the most fun to think and bitch about.
But Mario Galaxy is the Wii's riial riison for biiing. I approve of that game's direction. Why didn't they do this brilliant stuff before, why did Super Mario Tropical Underwhelmathon even exist?

The Wii is worth buying for wii sports alone.
That said, i am most likely getting this game as soon as it hits the shops.

I know what you mean, about the isolation Oph.
Primes 1 & 2 were pretty desolate feeling, though so maybe these developer guys agree too.

I hope I can get it this evening. The reviews are predictably great but that doesn't mean I don't intend to whine about it.
Retro are great devs and now that they may not be chained to the Metroid franchise, I want a new IP.

When I got there the lady at the store told me not to say anything to anyone because after she put that game on hold she noticed that they weren't supposed to go on sale until tomorrow, but that since I'd already driven down there she was going to sell it to me. So don't say anything you guys.

The 3d Metriod games give me hand cramps. Especially boss fights. Holding down strafe and circling around and around while constantly pressing the fire button makes me dangle my hands at the wrist like Mr. Burns.

in the last month ive played through prime 1 & 2, twice. fusion, zero mission, super metroid, and super metroid redesign. I'm totally obsessed with anything metroid. This will be one of the greatest games ever.

Metroid NES, Super Metroid (SNES) and Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) are much better than the 3d versions. Check them out if you haven't already!

I'm about 5 hours into Corruption. AMAZING! The start doesn't feel like Metroid but once you get to the first planet the game gets really good. Amazing art, wow. I couldn't put it down last night. Kick ass boss fights and the music is pure metroid goodness.

I've gotta ask those who've played it already, is there remixes from super metroid in it? The magmoor caverns of prime 1 and lower torvus bog of prime 2 didn't do it for me, I want more, like the green brinstar or maridia themes.

i highly enjoyed it - much more than part 2, and it's easily one of (if not THE) best game on Wii, both in graphics and in gameplay. the controls are well-tuned and lack the twitchiness of red steel (though dizzy spells can happen if your remote wanders off screen). the lock-on function also works surprisingly well, allowing for free aim while still being able to strafe-dash and such without fumbling with the remote to turn around. the grappling beam is also very easy to use, which is good, since you use it often.
my only complaints are that i wish the game implemented some sort of 180 spin for when i need to turn around so i don't have to lean my control to the right for a bit, and also the game starts off slow compared to all other Metroid games. But once you're past the first ten minutes, the game doesn't let up.

I believe there is at least one remix from Super, and at least one from Prime 1. Not sure which ones though, I'm only about 6 hours into the game.

i am currently fucking fed up with metroid prime 1. This game is too fucking difficult. I get stuck every 5 minutes, because i left behind an item somewhere like 3 different worlds back.
It took me a half hour to get to this door all the way on some high ledge only to find that i cant fucking open it. FUCK.

You definitely NEVER want to play Prime 2 then. I thought it was like twice as hard as 1, and filled with double the amount of backtracking.

from a non 3d metroid fan i foudn this game FANTASTIC. I am heavly immersed in it right now, not since Super MEtroid for SNES have i been this drawn to a metroid game. My only complaint is the enemies arent very metroid like or creative, their attack methods are very simplistic and straight forward. I was hoping for more conceptual enemies and frankly more of them.

Wow I just beat this. 92% Time: 17:27 Best game I've played this year. The ending (credit) music is AMAZING.
I'm going to play through again on a harder setting. I think I only died maybe 4-6 times on the normal difficulty.
