I actually think Valhalla is the most atmospheric location in the entire trilogy, but overall I think the game lacks in atmosphere because of the segmented planets. Space pirate homeworld was quite monotone in colour and didn't have many interesting scan logs. Still a good game of course (9/10). I just hope they go back to a less story driven Metroid (story needs to be told in scan logs or by visual clues). 

It is the worst of the trilogy, but it's still a fantastic game.

They directed their anger at the wrong person. They should have killed XIII, then we at least wouldn't have suffered the other 2. 

Yeah, the only metroid game people hate is other m (I thought it was decent, but not nearly as good as super metroid or the prime trilogy

but want i really meant to say is resident evil 6 ( i liked that game for some reason)

^True, I can say I truly enjoyed it.

Mass Effect 3. Enough said.

Dynasty warriors series.

I saw some super mari sunshine and RE5, wich i feel the same way about.

Haha, saw the thread title and immediately thought, "Skyward Sword!"

I'm kind of  the opposite, I liked the different planets in Prime 3 cos we got multiple cultures and more varied settings, but the single most atmospheric setting in the Trilogy to me is Light Aether.

Beyond: 2 Souls. Sure it's got some strange control decisions and I REALLY wish there was a chronological mode for the story especially after I beat it but the story is spectacularly acted and Willem Dafoe had me in tears during certain parts. It's just very engrossing the way it controls and gets you immersed in the characters just like Heavy Rain which was rated much higher (I love Heavy Rain but it's only slightly above Beyond in my opinion).
