Wait, isn't 1UP supposed to be the big anti-Wii website?

Thats what they said about it till it gave metroid a good score, now they picking on gamespot.

Seriously anyone else not see this?

1up gave it a 9 and had an equally idiotic review (2 frickin hours of frustration to learn the controls?!!! Your job is to review Wii games, play your flippin Wii sometime or get someone else to do it). For the record the 3 bad sites are Gamespot, Gamepro (which also has an idiotic review of MP3), and 1up. The problem is not only are their reviews contradictory but many belie a total lack of knowledge about how the Wii works/controls which shows they almost never play it. That's fine if you're some average gamer but not when your job is to review Wii games.

You're an idiot. There haven't even been many Wii games to review lately. 1UP is a great source and they gave this game a 90.

Why don't you guys play the freaking game before complaining that it didn't get perfect scores. Don't bash every single source that scored it "low."

Nintendo Power

The stunning visuals and immersive gameplay of the finale to the Prime series proves that the Wii is ready for the mainstream gamer. [Oct 2007, p.86]

GameTrailers

The original "Metroid Prime" is one of the highest-rated games in existence, but Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is easily superior. It’s far less frustrating, and more action packed, while managing to redefine console shooting controls in the process.

95

IGN

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.

GameDaily

Instead of blazing through the galaxy using a more traditional game controller, tackle enormous bosses and solve head-scratching puzzles using the Wii's remote and nunchuk. The experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

90

1UP

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.

90

GameSpy

Even with its great new controls, decent story and amazing visuals, there are some annoyances that have bled through from the other games...The biggest offender is the way the game streams new levels.

85

GamePro

While the game isn't littered with NPCs, there's a lot of interaction with fellow bounty hunters and objectives given from outside sources. It seems like this and the multi-planet settings were both added to make the game feel more like an action-adventure than an adventure-action title, which is a shame since it flies in the face of what made Metroid one of the best franchises in gaming.

GameSpot

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...While the lack of multiplayer is disappointing, the single-player campaign won't leave you wanting.

So I guess you only like Nintendo Power.

 

 Errr, did you read up to "1up gave it a 9" and then decided to call someone else an idiot or did you even read the rest of that sentence? He isn't complaining about the score, rather the review...
