Metroid Prime 3

In a Fanboys Opinion
, I liked Halo 3 but for a Long lasting campaign and differant control scheme Metroid Wins. Also i didnt find the aiming scheme anything like Red steel, red steel was choppy, looked like die hard for the Gamecube and played just as poorly, the controls on this seemed a lot more calibrated and reliable.
MP1 was fantastic whereas I felt MP2 dragged on a bit and turned into a meh-fest. Pre-ordered this but non-first class, so we will see. I have high expectations.
I still reckon Super Metroid will be the best in the Metroid series. Its backtracking was far more manageable due to the smaller environment, whereas in the Prime games to me ended up turning into a bit of a chore (especially in 2) and were easier to get lost in (even with a map). So I think the more linear, albeit still intact, experience will work to the game's advantage in this case.

Trust Me Backtracking is not an issue in 3, environments are much more easily scaled and better routed so finding your way around is far easier then MP2/1. The controlling system is probably the best i have tried on the Wii as its really smooth and easy to poinpoint the cursor. Only downside is with its fast pace strafing and rapid firing (A button slamming ^_^) i often found the aiming cursor went wandering into background textures and took me a few seconds to find out where it was. but i well recommend it.
It will do for me once i get the Wii Zapper, to be honest its the only Wiimote mod im looking forward too, rest of them look like junk.

ive had a quick go on it, quite impressed so far. will see how it goes after a few more hours on it
On that note, has anyone changed any of the default control settings?
If so what to? And what do people recommend?
I've read more than a few times that the highest sensitivity the way to go.
Well it's great, controls are very well intergrated for the wii, however I wouldn't say the graphics are nextgen by any means... basically looks just like metroid2 on the cube which isn't a bad thing to be honest
It does look a lot niver than the other 2.. especially the outdoor environements and atention to detail..
Infact the detail is what the game stand out as one of the the most superior titles ive seen on all platforms. IE. When you explore a room take a minute or two to look closely and the detial is incredible, really nicely modeled, crack, stones, wires, plants vines and other aliens structures make them feel really fantastic. Plus its all polygon modeled detail not cheap normal maps.
Plus the artistic direction is fantastic as every.. best alien based environemtns ive seen in any game.
It's a what ?
What should I be comparing this game to, if it's not really an FPS? It seemed like one to me, what with the first person field of view, a gun, aliens that shoot at you, etc. There is a distinct lack of exploration as well, unless you mean backtracking - of which if I wanted to have a good time backtracking, I'd play on Halo: Combat Evolved.
I will expand my views on the game when I've actually gone and completed it. I do know it's unfair to lay the smackdown on MP3 when I've only spent about two hours on it.
Compare it to the original side on Metroid games as it's very much in the same genre.
I'll have to bring my Wii then, but sure.
Cheers
Make sure you remind me though mate as I'm likely to forget.
Ive just burnt my eyeballs out playing this.
Aiming in High, and changed the a+b buttins around, but is anyone one left with a dead trigger finger with some of the bosses, feels alittle much like button bashing lol.
Apart from that, this is a very good game, set the bar high sor sole FPS titsl on the way.
Its soooo smooth!
