I won't pick it up because I own it for the Cube. But I might rent it for a playthrough. MP3 left me torn. On the one hand, the controls were amazing (yanking back with the grappling beam was one of the greatest gaming sensations I've ever had) but to be honest, the game just didn't have the level design, atmosphere or artistic design of Prime. I love Prime... It's perfect in every single stinking way.

stof, I have to disagree with you. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption had an amazing artistic design. It can especially be seen on Bryyo. Also, introducing Samus' ship in the gameplay part of the game was probably the most brilliant thing Retro has done to the Metroid series. It also did what it had to do, meaning changing the narrative in Metroid games. Honestly, I want more "Metroid Fusion style" stories in my Metroids! Need. More. Federation stuff!

Retro Studios outdid themselves!

I have to say this though, the final hours in Metroid Prime are definitely more epic than MP3:C's.

 

Agreed. The only thing I would argue was nominally better about 1, was the weapon system. But I really didn't miss those in MP3, as everything else was elevated so much. The art direction on MP3 was insanely good! Best I've seen in a Nintendo game to date. (Twilight Princess ranks up there, too.)
