Metroid Prime 3 Review Roundup
The long awaited Wii shooter Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is finally here, and the game is well received among reviewers. It’s certainly the best FPS shooter on the Wii, with precise and intuitive controls, as many of the reviews mention.
IGN (95/100) “Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was originally set to launch with Wii, but the year-long delay has been very much worth the wait. Call it a first- person shooter or a first-person adventure — doesn’t matter. I call it the best game on Nintendo’s console.”
GameSpy (90/100) “What you’re left with then is a rock-solid end to the Metroid Prime series, and one that deserves to be played by fans and Wii owners alike. It’s a fitting end to Samus’ exploits and ranks highly in the Wii’s current library of games.”
1UP (90/100) “On the whole, Corruption takes advantage of the Wii’s biggest strength (with its unique controls), and minimizes its greatest weakness (through astounding art direction), while otherwise maintaining or improving upon the high standards and overall polish the series is known for.”
GameSpot (85/100) “If you’re a Metroid fan, there’s no need to convince you to play Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It’s got exactly what you would expect from the last in an acclaimed trilogy of titles: great boss battles, involved environmental puzzles, and a smooth control scheme that cements exactly how FPS controls should work on the platform.
