Metroid Prime 3

Metroid Prime 3 rocks HARD!!! It is a really good game. I don't think I will be able to control dual stick games like Lost Planet, Halo, etc anymore. The old dual stick is so bad in comparison, this is the closest to mouse and keyboard you will get on a console. Once you play a FPS/FPA like this, going back to dual stick will HURT. It makes me wonder how long till Sony (or Microsoft) copies Nintendo's controller (I heard Sony already is doing something).

I remember not being able to play Lost Planet very well (I remember it was on the night before my wedding) because I couldn't get the controls the way I wanted, if it had the new MP3 controls it would have been amazing to play. I think people will love the new style of play.

There are 3 settings, Beginner, Normal and Advanced. I didn't try beginner, Normal is more like Redsteel (but better) and Advanced is where its at. There is no bounding box, so its like having an air mouse! It takes a little while to get used to it because its sensitive and its always moving a bit, but once you get it down its great. Getting it down didn't take me long, smaller enimes are harder to hit at first, and you can still lock on (but you never have to, unless you need to use the grapple) and move around an enemy, but you can STILL aim while doing this. Its feels really great!

I played past the first section, you get a lot of story and told where to go. Don't worry though after that its just like the old games. I got to the planet so far and it looks so cool. Wow it is just a great game. I am over 1+ hours in game time (3 hours realtime) and loving every minute of it.

Bottom line...

If you have a Wii and love Metroid...Get it!
Want a great game on Wii...Get it!
Just get it! You will not regret it!
