I watched my brother play metroid 1 it looked pretty cool to complicated for me but Im going to pick up Prime 3 because it seems alot more fast pace and I wana see how good retro did with the controls.

I didn't own Prime one or two and only played them at places here and there. The combination of neither one catching my eye and then Nintendo saying they weren't happy with Prime 2 made those games that were ok to miss for me.

I'm interested in Metroid for the Wii though. So far it's been called the best FPS on a console and Nintendo promised that this would be a much better game then 2 so I have faith.

I'll get it at launch probably, or for Thanksgiving or Christmas worst case.

I played through Prime 1 multiple times, and I got to the end of Prime 2, but didn't want to do the fetch-quest required to get to the last boss area, so I never beat it.

I've played a couple hours of Prime, a couple minutes of Prime 2, and borrowed Prime Hunters from a friend and only got halfway done with it. But I'm excited for this one, it looks pretty great already.

The wii is my first Nintendo system besides an old GBA SP, so I've never played Prime or the other one, but I am getting MP3.

I used to be a Sony guy.

Haha good luck with Spider Guardian. Just remember one word when dealing with this guy: patience.

Don't lose your cool, recognize his pattern and where you need to go.

I played the original Prime, beat it, its my 2nd fav game all-time, and one of the few games I've given a perfect score. The second one I got to Emperor Ing but I have never been able to beat him.

I own Metroid Prime 1 but haven't beaten it (or really played it) yet. I'm buying MP3 because the controls look really fun, and controls make or break a game. I'll probably pick MP1 up again and try to beat it before MP3 is released.

I never played the first two but not from lack of wanting too, because I did. It's just last gen there was absolutely ZERO support for the Gamecube at my local retailers which made it a hassle to get anything GC related - but they are supporting the Wii, so I can only aussume they'll get the third in and I'll be able to play it.

Though if I see the first two second hand anywhere I'll definately be picking them up.

I started the first ones, but I think that the Wii wiil change the way we play FPS. I don't really like playing FPS on consoles, but with the Wii it's easier to aim and shoot.

I haven't played the first two Metroid Prime games as I did not have a Gamecube. Though I would consider buying them for the Wii before getting Metroid Prime 3 if the costs wern't too high and the stories were worth it. But I will be getting Metroid Prime 3 in the end, with or without playing the first two as I really want an FPS for my Wii and this is looking really good.

Never played the first two, beat Hunters, and am planning to get this one. Maybe the first two later on. Doesn't seem like the story's a huge focus, really...

I played the first one, but honestly lost interest in it pretty fast. I tried playing through it a couple times, but it just never kept me wanting to play. I never even bothered with the 2nd one.
But I'll pick up MP3 just to see if it really "plays better than any FPS console game ever" like IGN is saying.

Same here, man. I'm finishing up MP2 as well. It's not nearly as fun as the first game. I'll make sure to have it done whenI buy the third game, though.

I actually never played 1 or 2, just never got around to it plus didn't have the money back then. I'll buy 3 though for sure. Hopefully they can release MP4 with some online :)

Anyone who didn't play those 2 titles, owes it to themselves to play through them, in order to get the most out of Corruption.. You've gotta remember that scanning data modules in Echoes connected what was happening with the goings on in Prime 1.. And I don't see why Corruption wouldn't follow the formula, we already know that NPCs talk of previous events... Both titles were amazing, with Prime 1 being better than Echoes..

The Prime series is a Trilogy, so no more Prime games.. Hopefully Retro's next project will live up to the quality of the Prime games...

I've played through 1 100% (had to use a walkthrough) and have not played 2. I'm hoping by the time 3 is released, I'd have picked up 2 for cheap somewhere.
