I've been corrupted

[Hi no Seijin]

If it makes you feel better, once I reached a certain point in the original Metroid, I couldn't get anywhere.

[Rev Rabies]

ah yes, metroid's one flaw, each game has a dead end, i almost fell into one in corruption

but anyways, even thought metroid prime 3 has no multiplayer or wi-fi, the story has gotten better and a lot of aspects of gameplay have improved

[DW]

What do you mean by these dead ends though? You can actually get into a situation you can't get out of no matter what?

[Rev Rabies]

actually yes you can, there are certain parts of the game that you can enter, but then the doors lock and there is usually a puzzle or an enemy you must beat, but if you don't have the required weapon/upgrade, you can't do it

I've never reached one of those points... As far as I know, only the game-boy game (Return of Samus) has a point like that. Just completed Metroid Prime 3. Fantastic game. I only have two worries about the game. My first problem with the game is that the new epic feel at the start of the game seemed out of place compared to the previous effect of a lone explorer that made the other games so special. Especially when there are already masses of shooting games with armies running past you released seemingly every weekend. However the game soon settles down and the rest is much more enjoyable and classic Metroid (Requiring more then being the fastest at pressing buttons). My second problem is... the multiplayer. Or to be more accurate, the lack of it. Prime 2 had a very good (While basic) multiplayer option. Taking everything back to basics, while adding in new ideas (Exciting levels, Interaction with environment, morphing in and out of morph ball mode to lose lock ons, sending messages to 'hack' enemy suits, etc...) just reeked of the classy Goldeneye experience on the N64. All they needed to do was add more levels, and continue to utilise the new ideas in the game (could you imagine using the grappling hook to try and yank the other player towards them or, better, ruin their lock on by whipping their gun arms to the right a bit, causing them to miss before launching your own attack and praying they haven't got a hack upgrade?). Surely the whole point of the Wii is to bring more players together, isn't it Nintendo that constantly talks about having a console to be shared for all?  For me this was a good chance missed. *Rant over* Anyway, the game is very good, and I would suggest that you get it if your looking for a tense, well scripted, story based shooter that makes you use your brain extensively, then this is your game.

[Rev Rabies]

ah yes, i hated the lack of multiplayer as well, would have been a good wi-fi game

i hat the friend voucher thing, i cant get online so i cant trade mine, i want a samus bobblehead dang it!

Don't we all... ;)  No, really... Just out of interest, I heard that there are certain parts of Prime 3 that change when the date is set to certain festivals (In a similar fashion to Prime 2, when Samus donned a Father Christmas hat at christmas) Any idea if it works? I'm too scared of changing the date after an incident with an old Gamecube and Animal Crossing...  :P
