Metroid Prime 3

There’s a few Wii games that I’m getting excited about: Mario Kart, Resident Evil 4, Guitar Hero and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I know the Metroid franchise is revered by Nintendo players along with that plucky Italian plumber Mario. Me personally I’ve never been excited and couldn’t see what all the fuss was about.

Until now.

Metroid Prime 3 appears to push all the right buttons. There’s heavy use of the Wiimote and Nunchuk. And the graphics are as colourful as a level created on Unreal Tournament where the designer has done too much acid. And according to the review below, it appears to be the perfect balance in terms of gameplay and challenge.

Methinks I shall be saving up lunch money for this title. This is all for the sake of research you see, can’t create a blockbuster game if I have no peers to compare against.
