Anyone else disappointed by Metroid Prime 3?

I never even noticed the power cell fetch quest because I always collect everything anyway lol. Probably not as good for casual players though I'm sure.

Exactly. Energy Cells... How come some of you guys have trouble collecting them? You can easily find pretty much all of them in one shot during the main quest, I even had too much in the end (but they were neccessary for the last upgrades anyway). You know that there is a place in Elysia that reveals every single items you can get in the game (excluding the Valhalla)? I just don't get it... Some reviewers even used them for an excuse to reduce the score. :/

I thought the Energy Cells were a great idea compared to the Sky Temple Keys (can't really complain about the Chozo Artifacts because they're just too obvious to find). Besides, it's just fun taking them out of their initial spot and/or inserting them somewhere else. *twist* *push* *twist* *pull*... But yeah, enough about that! =P

I honestly can't find anything bad about the game. I'm one of those people that just enjoy the fact that we at least HAVE another Metroid game. Going through new horizons in the series isn't going to hurt anyone either, especially since Metroid changed so much lately. Honestly, I liked those new little things like Samus getting more involved with the Galactic Federation, new weapons, etc. It makes the game "original" compared to the other two in the Prime series. No Wave Beam? So what? More linear? Not really?

Oh well, I just can't complain about something I couldn't do better. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is there with all its might, just enjoy the game for what it has to offer. That's my opinion though. ^_~
