Metroid Prime 3 Corruption shows that shooters can be good on the Wii.
Story
At the beginning Samus is called by the Federation about the Space Pirates then they start attacking the base. Samus battles a Berserker Lord before setting off to Norion. While at Norion she encounters Meta Ridley in a battle and Samus manages to defeat him for now but when the bounty hunters meet up at a control unit they are attacked by Dark Samus and are all corrupted. So that means Samus is corrupted and so are the fellow bounty hunters Fundas,Ghor and Gandraya who you battle as bosses later in the game.
Gameplay
Well the gameplay is nice actually I perfer using the Wii mote and Nunchuck which makes it easier but sometimes it can be a bit annoying at times. You use the Wii mote to target your enemies or areas you want to destroy.You use the Nunchuck for all sorts of like a grappling beam which can open some areas that require it and remove Space Pirates shields. You press C on the Nunchuck to roll into morphball from and A is to drop bombs. Your attack buttons are A to fire your beams and down on the Wii mote to fire your missiles. New weapons become aviliable later in the game and they aren't that difficult to use.
There is a new form called Hypermode. This can deliver alot of damage but it requires an energy tank. You use it to fire Phazon shots but be cafeful you have a meter so don't wait to long or it will be Game over and you get a maximum of about 25 seconds until it automatically runs out. You can stop using it for a few seconds to let the energy bar grow again but don't let it get full or else its Game over. Unlike the first two games you have to do alot of travelling in your Gunship and it actually has upgrades itself like gunship exspansions and a grapplimg hook to lift things that get in your way. To call your Gunship you have to go into visor mode and go to the right side tobe able to call your ship. The top lets you enter scanning mode. There are the usual Missle Exspansions and Energy Tanks as well.
You can also locate your ship at different landing sites that have to be accessed first so you can land your ship in a few different areas on certain planets which also helps because you can save your game everytime you go in your ship and not having to backtrack right to the first landing site. That makes it better than going all the way back to the beginning but there are save points in some levels but most levels have other landing sites for your ship so you can save then. The game does have a nice feel to it as well because unlike its pressdecors there's less backtracking and its more action packed.
Sound and Graphics
The sound is brilliant in mostly every level it makes it epic and a great atmosphere as well. The graphics are some of the best on the Wii. It looks awesome. It feels so amazing nice detail put into every single level it is one of the best looking games on the console.
Lastability
The story should take you at least a good 15 to 20 hours to finish but then theres harder difficulties like Hypermode which makes it harder and anyway I am sure most would want to play it again.
Overall Opinion
This is an amazing experience it works really well with the Wii mote and Nunchuck for a console shooter. It should keep you entertained. It is an amazing experience. The main flaws I have is its a bit easy and the bosses aren't as hard as the other games but overall a must have game for the Wii.
