Metroid Prime 3: Corruption brings bounty hunter Samus Aran to a thrilling adventure across diverse alien worlds. It refines the first-person shooter mechanics of the previous Metroid Prime games with even tighter controls and the addition of Metroid series staples like the grappling beam. Corruption expands the lore but features a more linear structure compared to its predecessors. While the narrative has some pacing issues and the use of motion controls can be a sticking point for some, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a visually stunning and action-packed conclusion to the Metroid Prime trilogy, offering a significant challenge for skilled players.
The weakest of the Trilogy, unfortunately. I really want to like this one as much as the other Prime games, but the handholding and very easy difficulty really it back. I do enjoy the presentation and the cutscenes with actual spoken dialogue though, i hope they continue that in Prime 4 when it finally releases in 2030.
I managed to arrive at the Screw Attack to check how awesome it felt and, well, it was just like MP2. With no big surprises but it felt satisfying to get it still.
This said: I appreciated the Wii mote and Nunchuk gimmicks, I still remember back at E3 of 2007 how much they hyped for that.
It's also the reason why on Switch it seems hard to pull it off, or potentially any next console. Which is bad since the game is great. Not as awesome as MP1 but I was personally enjoying it slighly better than MP3.
