Forums - Nintendo - Metroid Prime 3 is underrated

Look... it is an FPS, there is no doubt about it, an FPS has a first person view and shooting.

FPS however is not really a proper genre of game.... so most of what we call FPS are really just action games, same for TPS and hack and slash. This is something people complain about the HD twins line up, most of the games are very similar.... a response is to split them into TPS and FPS as if suddenly the games are wildly different, but they are not.

Metroid Prime 3 is an FPS... but it is not an action FPS, but and Adventure FPS.... If it were third person, It would be more like Zelda and less like God of War.

Yep, its great. Can't wait to run through them all again with Trilogy.



I agree. Despite it's great critical reception, it just hasn't gotten the appreciation it deserves.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

its my favorite metroid, but if your looking for heavy backtracking and really well hidden pathways, this...no the prime series is not the series for you.

i dont have any issue with the older metroids or the previous metroid primes...but the third one was trash. idk how other wii fps are...but the controls from this one make me think the wii isnt good for anything but an on rails shooter. really boring and gimmicky too...had to force myself to finish it.


btw ryudo, the bioshock analogy doesnt make any sense. if it wasnt good then it wouldnt have any fans, since its the only bioshock they couldnt have built a fan base for it. and while you may be an idiot and a troll, you really shouldnt go around calling yourself that. makes you look crazy.


Even though you're banned,you failed to see I was mocking your terrible logic with something equally as idiotic sounding.

IMO, it's an overrated game. I've started it 3 or 4 times, and by the time I reach around 40% of the second planet i get bored. It's too monotonous, easy and boring.

I'm glad you came back to the game and got past your initial control shock. The Wii FPS controls pioneered by MP3 are a shock for the first 30 minutes or so, but after you adapt, it starts to feel soooo gooooood.

As for difficulty, the normal difficulty in MP3 is really easy mode. A couple bosses might kill you once or twice, but it should be pretty smooth sailing. If you're any good at games, or want to get your butt kicked a little, you should play on veteran.

And once you unlock hypermode difficulty... well, I'm impressed by anybody who beats the game on that setting. I threw in the towel on the last boss of Bryyo.

Can't wait to get the Trilogy and play the whole series over again.

@ OP

Super Mario Galaxy most overrated game of all time? No sorry but GTA4 takes first place for that. I enjoy SMG more than MP3. But I was how you were. I played it at first and wasn't so into it. Then tried it again for a second time and it just clicked.

honestly...saying your posts are idiotic sounding really doesnt help your self-esteem much either.  i feel really bad that you seem to hate yourself so much.

My self esteem is fine thanks. You seem to still be trolling with asinine comments.
