If you expected Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to be a highquality continuation of the series, youd be right. And yes, the Wii controls are terrific and intuitive, so if you hoped that controlling bounty hunter Samus Aran would be a dream, that wish has been granted, too. All told, even though Corruptions easier battles and conservative design sometimes seems like less of a sprawling Metroid adventure and more of a straightforward firstperson shooter, its still a great action game that does exactly what you expect it to do, no more and no less.
Of course, the five years that have elapsed between the original Metroid Prime and the trilogys final hurrah is an eternity in gaming, so even with its smooth, Wiispecific controls, there is a strong sense of familiarity here. While Metroid Prime spectacularly ushered Metroid gameplay into a 3D vision, Corruption is content to be a solid successor. Yet you shouldnt let some spurts of predictability dissuade you from checking it out, particularly if you are a Metroid enthusiast. Corruption offers its own formula tweaks while staying true to its roots, and like the previous games in the Prime series, it sends you on an atmospheric journey of discovery and enjoyable boss fights.
