 i predicted 9.6 i was .1 off

 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. It is clear from the moment you pick up the controller that Prime 3 was developed exclusively for Wii. Not only do the new controls respond quicker and with more precision than any dual-analog-helmed FPS ever created, but the gesture system works brilliantly, too. Meanwhile, the title delivers everything a Metroid fan could hope for, including spectacular environmental puzzles, epic boss fights and intense combat, all wrapped up in a package that spans multiple worlds and is filled with re-traversal exploration. A cinematic storyline made possible by beautiful art and graphics rounds out the experience, which is complemented by a medal system and WiiConnect24 compatibility. There are a couple of minor quibbles that keep Prime 3 from a higher score. The first and most obvious is that the game is a sequel and thus inherently feels familiar. While Corruption features more variety than any of its predecessors, it's not the design revolution that the original game was.

Also, as you explore the world, you will occasionally encounter doorways that take longer than they should to open, as they are loading the next area. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence, but it does occur. And finally, while the majority of the 20-hour experience flows, there's one fetch quest that interrupts the pace. We rated the original Metroid Prime a 9.8 on GameCube and had Corruption been the first game in the series it'd have been worthy of the same score. As it stands, Samus Aran's latest adventure is a spectacular must-own experience and one of Wii's defining games. Stop reading and buy it.

 So they said its only because of sequal that it didnt recieve a higher score i wonder if same will be said of halo 3 mgs4 etc

Ahhh finally what i have been waiting for. MP3 the systems seller that will sell a Wii to me. The final console in my collection has a game that allows me to pull the trigger without any regret.

This is looking good, I will give this a try at my friends house. If it can pull off the controlls the right way I may just get a Wii for this game. From the vids it looks like the aiming is worlds better than in red steel, so I think this could be the start of a good thing for FPS on this system. I am going to give early props to Nintendo for making a real Wii must get game. Now if they can just give the option for the classic controlls for SMG and Smash Bros. I will be a very happy camper.

Smash bros will have the option for Classic/Gamecube controller.

I dont think galaxy will have that option, however i think that game will be much better with the WiiMote/Nunchuk than any other control anyway.

Not bad, Bioshock takes ign review by 0.2 so any one remember their Bioshock vs Metriod review bets ?
