mew metroid video

The gametrailers review certainly gave this game a lot of praise, made me consider getting a wii. Ive been hearing FPS games dont work well with the wiimote, what is different with MP3(according to the reviewer) that makes it work so well?

Would be interesting to see how well the wii controls have been implemented though.

From what I've read in a number of reviews, the accuracy for shooting with the Wiimote is excellent. 1Up seem to like it how it works...

The Wii remote is used both to aim and turn your view (by "pushing" the crosshair against any edge of the screen); the nunchuk's analog stick moves your character (forward, back, strafe left and right). Imagine your standard PC shooter mouse-and-keyboard setup, plus a view lock-on system (Z button), and crosshair that doesn't always stay in the middle of the screen.

Confused? Don't worry, it probably won't click until you try it yourself, and even then, the first couple hours are disorienting. But given time (and a couple menu tweaks -- the "advanced" sensitivity option helps a lot), frustration melts into appreciation for what this new setup makes possible: kick-ass combat.


By separating your view lock-on and aiming crosshair for the first time, Corruption lets you exercise deeper shooting skills. As always, enemies and the excellent bosses require all of Samus' different abilities (props for creative use of the grapple beam this time), but now you also need steady nerves and quick reflexes to aim your shots. A few novel puzzles even test your trigger finger. It's like an intense light-gun shooter made sweet, sweaty love to the old Prime scheme, but even better (and far less bizarre) than that sounds. And if it's all too much, you can always opt for the old, simpler setup (though maybe you should just stick to Wii Play...wuss.)

It looks amazing... The Wii's graphical ability is far better than I originally thought, as this and Super Mario Galaxy demonstrates.

Although, I'm slightly worried it's gonna be too easy. I personally LIKED the backtracking element of the older Metroid and Prime games; it's what made them fun and challenging.

MP3 controls so well because nintendo made it. They spend ages polishing and refining their games. Red steel and MoH were just rushed out as a quick cash in.

There's plenty of backtracking in MP3, it's in very much the same vein as MP1 and 2. It's definitely not friggin' easy on normal difficulty!
