Very busy weekend... time to catch up!

28. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

So after the slightly disappointing Metroid Prime 2: Echoes on the GCN, Retro Studios came back and released the third and final chapter of the Prime series on the Wii. Oh, and by the way, this game is fantastic. The graphics and art design are up to Retro's incredible standard, as the game is just beautiful to look at. The music is incredible (just listen to Skytown. Just listen to it!), and the controls. Oh those controls... This is the first game to make fantastic usage of the WiiMote in a first person viewpoint. It was like a breath of fresh air actually having total control of Samus' arm cannon through the WiiMote, and I never wanted to go back ever again (luckily Nintendo released the amazing Metroid Prime Trilogy... but that's a story for another thread). Yeah, this game had all the important aspects down... but this game has so much icing on the wonderfully solid cake. I mean... there's the Ridley Battle ala the Balrog fight (so cool...), awesome puzzles, intense combat (the most action packed of the trilogy, that's for sure), larger than life boss fights... and a Mii bobble head. What an ending to a wonderful trilogy. Now... all we have to figure out is who was in that spaceship?
