Corruption Day - 10/10
My review of:
By K-Man
Metroid Prime 3:Corruption takes place six months after the events from the last game; Metroid Prime 2:Echoes. You of course control the famous bounty hunter known as Samus Aran. The whole plot of the game takes around a known substance called "Phazon" Taking in Phazon can be advantageous but deadly at the same time. Space Pirates want this substance because it make their ships, weaponry, and even themselves even more powerful. Samus has has been assigned to stop the space pirates from attacking their flagship. Although she is not alone as she meets up with Ghor, Rundas and Gandrayda, the other three bounty hunters that will help her on her quest. As soon as Samus and the other bounty hunters finally stop the space pirates, they see a bright blue comet coming straight to them. It reveals to be Dark Samus. They try to stop him but their power is no match for Dark Samus.
Samus and the other bounty hunters tried to stop Dark Samus but failed miserably.
Two months later passed and Samus awakens from her coma. It was revealed that after Dark Samus attacked her and the other bounty hunters, she was infected with Phazon. Throughout the game you can use Phazon whenever you outnumber to attack enemies. The Phazon allows you to be invulnerable and powerful than ever. However the Phazon can corrupt you and will kill you so you will need to know when to balance it out when you will have to use Phazon.
The game has new features that makes a lot more interesting. You can finally use the Wiimote and Nunchuck to control Samus which makes control smoother and real easy, especially for those who are new to the series. Another new feature is that there will be some voice acting. Unfortunately Samus does not talk this time but only the character and other bounty hunters she interacts with. What a disappointment, i know.. But despite all that, this game may be one of the best Wii games that the Wii offers besides its last big-hit game; Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess. The game is incredible, awesome boss battles, interesting storyline, and above all, the way you get to play the game
Oh and btw, Samus is back better and badder!

Graphics - 9/10
- Now we all know the Wii isn't too keen on graphics since they want to concentrate more on family fun and whatnot. But MP3 makes an exception. For a Wii title, the graphics are awesome! It actually makes you not regret buying a Wii, EVER. If you have the component cables, then it will make the graphics for MP3 a lot better actually. The colors, the levels, almost everything is down to the last detail to make this game truly awesome. It actually made me cry
The graphics for Metroid Prime 3 is unique in every way, it's hard to believe that this was made only for the Wii.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story - 9/10
-The story is actually interesting. Was even better than the last two Metroid Prime games. Basically the plot for Metroid Prime 3 is to find Dark Samus and destroy him once and for all with the help of Phazon. But besides that, you will be on a quest to travel to other planets and rid of their Phazon corruption as they have been planted with a Phazon seed that is trying to take over the planes. You of course to need to go to the planets and destroy the seeds.
Using your ship, yo can travel to other planets in no time. Unfortunately you can only use the ship for that reason and also to lift heavy objects and destroy certain things as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay - 10/10
- The gameplay is absolutely sweet. It has all the things you could ever want in a FPS-based game (well almost everything) The first thing that surprised players is that Metroid Prime 3 has the ability to have a free-lock on system. What that means is that you can still lock onto your enemies but now that you're using the Wiimote, you can move freely while still locking onto your enemies. The best thin about this game is the boss battles. They are MASSIVE! They can be challenge and fun at the same time.
What do you mean you don't know how to defeat him?! I thought you knew!!
Another best part about the gameplay is that you now have the ability to control Phazon. What's fun about it is that you become invulnerable to enemy attacks and is more powerful than ever! However staying too long in Hyper mode can be a bad thing as Samus can get corrupted and then die.
If this were to happen to you, quickly press the A button to vent out the excessive amount of corrupted Phazon. If you don't vent it out quickly, then it's game over for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music - 8/10
-The music for Metroid Prime 3 is okay as it always go with the setting for the game or what part of planet you're in. The only time the music gets better is the boss battles as the music get intense and intense as you are almost defeating the boss
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
-Let's face it, this game is the best Wii game the Wii has ever offered (well in my opinion) and hopefully the Wii will offer more. This game will be enjoyed by previous players who played the last two Metroid Prime games or even newcomers who just played this game for the first. This game is a must for those who want to add such a sweet ass game to your Wii game library, i know i did
Well thanks guys for reading my Metroid Prime 3:Corruption review and that you guys will enjoy it even more whit it hits store shelves on November 8th. Happy Gaming!
