As the last of the games in the Prime series Corruption is a great game. For those that have played the others this will be more of the same. Although if you have played the others you are no doubt a fan of the franchise and the familliarity won't be an issue. The game play is fluid with a linear story line that allows you to roam along the way. Being able to see areas that you will need to visit once you have obtained the necessary upgrade provides a kind of motivation to bury yourself deeper into the game. This game works well with the Wii-mote. Nintendo obviously took its time to hone the different motions and uses of the Wii-mote, and this truly adds to the game play. There are some bugs related to this though as the game has a difficult time recognizing the in/out motion of the controller and the "casting" action on the nunchuck. While these are crucial at all times they become bothersome. And that "casting" motion is needed portions of the where time is of the essence.
The soundtrack of Corruption is fantastic. Obviously the music changes as situations change within the game. But when little is going on the classically inspired tracks provide a great ambiance to the game. The graphics for the game provide some sharp visuals, and well defined worlds. While not a graphics powerhouse the Wii does an excellent job with this game.
Overall a great game, despite being surprisingly similar to the previous prime games.
