Alittle like Bioshock. ALOT more like System Shock 2, AKA a shooter action RPG. Good review but sometimes I wonder how many games some of GRs writers have played. Instead of plugging dumbed down recent iterations of older games, why not cite the original?

never played a 3d metroid, just Zero Mission and the original. thisll be fun.

i always meant to play the prime games and if these remakes are ok by Brett i'm sure ill have a good time with it. definitely buying this sweet deal

Almost an insult to compare it to Bioshock.

God, Metroid Prime: Hunters got the control scheme so, so right. I really wish they'd make a Metroid game for the DS with a decent single-player mode, though.

This can not come to Europa soon enough.
It'll be the first real game I play on WII since... I downloaded SONIC1 off the virtual console ages ago. (Wii FIT doesn't count!)

Metriod. I Love it and I hate it. They're all great games, but they make you feel like a rat in a maze! Nintendo just made these games have too many unspecific objectives, so sometimes, you have no idea what to do! This is espesially a problem in Super Metriod, were there are NO definite objectives, you're just wandering until you find a hidden switch, breakable wall, etc. Putting a Metriod game into my console gives me sense of dread, wondering what i'm going to get hung up on next!(Sigh) Although I've made my complaint, don't get me wrong. I am a big Nintendo fan, and I loved MP3. This looks good, but i'm waiting 'til Other M.

When reading this I did think it sounded like it is similar to Bioshock(which I love), but I also noticed that it sounded a lot like the Half-Life series, too. And since I absolutely love Half-Life and especially Half-Life 2 you may have just convinced me to buy this game,
Brett. The wierd thing was that the way you built up the controls made me expect more. While I don't doubt the controls work well and are a vast improvement over what they used to be, that is because the first game controls were simply just bad game design for something like a first person shooter(and I would say for any game). Anyway, good review.

It's times like these I almost wish I had a Wii.

Almost.

I have all three, I just don't see the point in buying them again. I never found the original controls that bad to be honest.

I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the first two though. Especially the first.

never got into the prime series
maybe if Nintendo ever lowers the price of the Wii I might be impuled to buy again..maybe

If I had a Wii I would get this. Oh well. It looks like it could be around for a while. And heads up to Carnage976 that's funny ha ha.

I own all 3 games and loved them all, shame on you GR for making the controls for MP1 look so rigid, but since it was a great review I guess I can ignore it. I loved the way MP3 eventually gives you the map for the powerups, but having to pay for the bonus art and soundtracks was very annoying.
