So, after getting Metroid Prime 3 Corruption 5 days ago (on launch) I’ve finally completed the game. Suffice to say it I will be releasing a review on Wiiloaded alongside of a Metroid and Super Metroid review. But, for those who haven’t gotten the game you may be wondering about some things. As a few friends of my were wondering a few things and I took their questions and will answer them here.
How well does it play play? Aka how well does it utilize the Wii-mote?:
This is a question that a lot of people seem to ask. They hear a lot that the game has incredible control and that it’s the best yet. To be honest it’s true, the precision aiming in MP3 is so incredibly accurate that you’ll never EVER want to go back to using an analog stick again. As for utilizing the Wii-Remote there’s a lot of context sensitive motions you need to do in the game to complete certain tasks. I tell you, I had absolutely NO problem with these motions, they worked seemlessly. The only motion that suffers slightly is the Morph ball jump. It doesn’t always register, but if you do large motions the Morph Ball should be no problem.
Is the game long? Or is it like Twilight Princess were we thought it be long but wasn’t really?:
It took me a good 5 days to beat this game and about 20 some hours worth of exploring and gaming. It truly is a long game and is most likely longer than Twilight Princess. Although, once this game is beaten you can’t go back and explore, honestly there’s nothing TO explore after you’ve completely beaten it. Although, you’ll most likely want to play the game again because it’s just that great.
Well I be overwhelmed by enemies?:
No. One thing you need to remember is that MP3 isn’t a First Person Shooter, its a First Person Adventure. So you won’t find yourself being completely overwhelmed by enemies. There is still a lot of combat to be had though, don’t you worry about that!
How difficult are the puzzles?:
This is a hard question, see the puzzles vary. Some of them are simple, but fulfilling while others are plain out hard. Really, it depends on what sort of ‘puzzles’ your good at solving. Some things may seem hard while others are easier. But don’t think that this game is for anyone, you need to be a pretty well seasoned gamer to be able to beat these puzzles.
How difficult and Epic are the Boss Battle?:
This is a toughy as well, as I obviously can’t just out and tell you the boss battles. But I can tell you one thing, most of the boss battles are hard and all of them are challenging. As for Epic, these are the most Epic boss battles I’ve ever played, and that’s saying something. I can’t go into detail but whats more epic then battling Ridley while falling down a giant generator shaft?
Is it smart to go for 100% on your first go at the game?:
In my opinon, no. See you can’t always enjoy the game if your constantly scanning everything and sweating over that one creature you missed. I think for your first time through you may want to just try for 75% so you can atleast get one of the extended endings. But really, there’s three difficulty settings. Play it on Normal first, then Veteran and then try getting 100% in one of the unlockable difficulties. You’ll enjoy the game more like that and will get everything out of it.
So there you have it, those are some answers to questions asked by gamers like me. If anybody else has some questions just ask and I’l add them here. So look out for my review of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption on www.wiiloaded.com and keep on gaming!
