So far the best out of the three metriod prime series. With a bigger and deeper plot to the story line and able to see Samus's home world and not to mention other bounty hunters that you have to fight that were Samus's friends. Also...I am pretty sure that the Blue ice hunter and Samus might be having a thing for each other and a bit of rivelery againt's a shape shifter. This is a game that would be grate for either a rent or buy.
OMG thats tho only thing that describes this game

Awesome game. The interactive storyline and new features give it a big boost in 1P, but I was crestfallen at the lack of multiplayer mode in this game. It has excellent potential - four bounty hunters, each with exclusive weaponry. Another dislike for this game is the seeming lack of custimization. I liked the ability to change to the beam I liked with the swipe of the C stick, rather than having a beam added on retaining all previous abilities. Being able to use Hypermode at will is a nice add, though at the cost of HP. There are some nice upgrades too, such as the Hyper Missile. The addition of interactive objects gives it a boost, you can't just look at a panel and scan it, you actually have to DO something. The Crdits system is a good add-on, making it get you something other than a secret ending for the effort of scanning everything. I mean, who can resist bumper stickers for their ship? All in all, this game earns a four out of five.

good game kind of long
First person shooter controls don't get any better than this. I gave it 4 stars because of the control. If I were to rate this game based on gameplay, it would have scored a lot lower. I hate how shooting an enemy in the head 20 times is the same as shooting them in the body 20 times. I need a little accuracy shooting. I'm really good with the Wii's FPS controls, but it means dick in this game. Just shoot the enemy 100 times anywhere to kill him. It gets more than old. The actual game is good though. Nice puzzles. Crappy plot.
What a great way to end a trilogy. The story is great, and the best visuals for the wii in my opinion. the thing i love about metroid prime 3 is of all the little things, like being able to see the reflection of your eyes in the scan visor, or the actual voice acting. The bosses arent necessarily hard, just hard to figure out how to beat, to an extent. I like the twist with the phazon enhancement device, but i dont think it should take that much health when you use it, but this time around, the energy tanks are easier to find, the first time around i found all of them except one. Sorry to minorly spoil the story but, when you battle dark samus, it is the sweetest thing in the whole game, because of the little cinemas inbetween the gameplay to show you what new trick she has up her sleeve. the only thing that i didnt like is that when you get a new beam or missle, you're stuck with it, you can't change them like in the previous 2. As those cheesy infomercials say, "on a scale of 1 to 5, it would be an eleven!"

What can I say that hasn't already been said? The game is beauty! Excellent graphics, Excellent story, Excellent controls, the game is Excellent! To top it off I hate Metroid! Always have!

Don't know why but this game has turned my head a little to the world of Metroid, making me want to go back and play some of the past Primes. Still angry at Super Metroid stealing #1 game ever so many times >:O

Anyways the game is great, trade points with friends to get a bobble Mii head for your ships dashboard! Its cool, no multiplayer though so if thats a big thing for you, you may be disappointed, but still this game is a must-get.

I just started playing it, but so far it's very impressive. It's not much of a leap past the last Metroid Prime, but the wiimote brings a lot to the party.
Excellent game. Great graphics. One of the best for the Wii.
Prime 3 is really really fun! It gives you the feeling that you are actually in the game!

This game is awesome it is a prime example of what first person shooters on the wii should be
great controls
it is responsive without making me do annoying circles every time i move the wii-mote a fraction of a decimal of .00000009% of an inch too far like in call of duty

it is also very accessible to new players without being watered down and too easy it also feels very similar to the original metroid prime and will be fun to both n00bs who have never played a metroid game and veterans who have spinesharked their way through every metroid game it has a perfect balance of attracting n00bs without alienating vets in the proscess

i haven't finished the game yet but from what i've seen so far it is pretty interesting the only complaint i have is that if you are new to the series you probably won't know who dark samus is or why phazon is such a big deal but that can be excused because mp3 is a sequal and it has the plot of one

now for the negative

there is no option to play left handed i know it's not a big deal and it doesn't affect gameplay but it feels weird when you do something with your right hand and see your samus mirroring the action with her left hand onscreen i know its just a petty complaint but there are too many wii games that won't let you play left handed

all in all mp3 is a great game for both fans of the franchise and of the genre
its definitely a game to buy

What can I say about Metroid Prime 3 that hasn't allready been said. This is Nintendos PRIME first shooter and they nail it all. The voice acting, the style, the look, the sound, the controls... it all rocks. This is my reason why I will NEVER go back to dual joystick.

This is an intense game. Lots of fun and you really get into the action. The boss fights are nothing to laugh at... they can be long and grueling and leave your arms aching, but you do get a great work out.

I Wish... that Nintendo would work harder at making games playable online. This game (concept) has so much potential.

Go Samus!
The best game for the Wii so far and the best game in the Metroid series. I have played it through twice on normal mode and am currently playing it on veteran mode. The only thing I don't like is the friend vouchers, but that is such a small problem. I just can't stop playing it.

Fantastic game, especially if you are a fan of the Metroid series, and more specifically, a fan of the PRIME series. Great visuals, killer musical score, and play control that will change the way you think about the First Person Shooter Genre. Even in light of the previous Metroid Prime games, this game is refreshingly innovative, placing Samus in a less lonly role with an army at her back and fellow bounty hunters thrown into the mix. One of the things I enjoyed most was the use of Samus's ship. This installment of Metroid allows you to command Samus's mighty Hunter class Spaceship to fly to many locations and even innitiate bombing runs on enemies and key targets remotely. This game brings to a close the Metroid Prime Trilogy in a stunning finale. Phenomenal game!
I haven't even finished it yet and it's one of the greatest games I've ever played. I don't need to say more. If you don't have it, go buy it.

First person shooting done right on the wii. No multi-player though. Pretty looking alien worlds and cool enemies. But with zelda and paper mario already under your belt, you might not have the patience to go through another long solo experience.

It's a bit hard at first, but then it gets easier and even more addictive! Love it!

The graphics are a little better than the second one, but one player is a lot of fun, but not as long or as challenging as the second one i find
Definitely one of the best wii games ever released. This title shows off what the wiimote can do. A must buy.
