^ Reviewers just don't take the time to actually get to learn the story because they just think it's generic anyway. Gamepro reviewer actually said it in his review.
Metroid prime 2 has also a crappy story if you don't read the scans... And that game has THE best story I ever saw in a game IF you read ALL the scans. It's 10 times deeper and sadder then metroid prime 3.
