After many years, I finally played the last part of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. I don't know why I waited so long considering that I loved the first two games. But I do regret it, because I did love this game too! Metroid has always been about enviromental storytelling and atmosphere a lot, and I love how Metroid Prime took that idea and immersed you more than most first person shooters had done at this point in history. In the third game in this series, the game feels a lot bigger because of all the different planets you go to. I find the planets to be a really good thing, because it makes it easier to find your way around the world. In the earlier games, you had to usually traverse huge distances to get to some areas. In most cases this was not a big problem, but it is nice to see a different approach. I was also a big fan of the lore from the races who used to live on the planets, and I did go out of my way to find all of the lore entries. The game felt a lot more streamlined than the other two games, but that wasn't something that I considered bad, just different. It made the pacing really smooth, and I don't think I ever got stuck, which definitely happened in the earlier games. Because this was released on Wii, motion controls were a big factor, and I think it was a resounding success. The controls feel amazing, and I also really liked the way it used the nunchuk. It felt a bit awkward to shake it in the beginning, but that was something I got used to, and it was definitely super satisfying to rip off armor from bosses with the flick of my wrist. The music was also good, although not really as memorable as the first two games. Even though this was a really good game, I do have to favor the two earlier games, mainly because of the atmosphere, music and setting. Still a damn good finale to this trilogy though!

Sadly, Metroid Prime 3 is a little bit of a disappointment. Because Metroid Prime 2 was so good, I had high hopes. Sadly because this is a Wii game, a lot of the game was designed for the Wii's audience, the casuals. Everything pretty simple and easy and doesn't leave much of an impact.

The game is still great however with a lot of cool aspects. The control method is odd at first but very immersive when you get the hang of it. Environments are visually interesting. The boss fight range from meh to that's impressive.

I sound like i'm shitting on the game but i'm really not. It's a very solid title. It's just a shame it doesn't reach the heights of Metroid Prime 2.

This might be my new favorite Metroid game. I didn't want to get my hopes up going in, especially since I disliked Prime 2 to the point of abandoning it, but wow did this game deliver for me. Having a real narrative with characters besides Samus is something that's really cool to see and sets this apart from other Metroid games a lot. Some people might not prefer for Metroid games to be linear, but I don't really mind at all. In fact, I can get pretty annoyed if I spend too long wandering around not knowing where to go, so I actually appreciated how frequent this game was with hints. Even if it is linear, the exploration is still really fun and evokes that Metroid feel all the same. I honestly thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish. I also wasn't even planning to 100% it at first, but later in the game you unlock the ability to see where all the collectibles are on the map, which made it pretty easy to backtrack and find everything. I'm blown away. Absolutely amazing game, and a wonderful end to the trilogy. If you haven't played the Metroid Prime games yet, I can now gladly recommend them, especially with Prime 4 on the way any day now.

Mucho más pasillero y pormenorizado que MP1 o 2.
Pero MP3 no se queda tampoco muy atrás. Es una bestia en sí mismo.

El viajar entre planetas aporta esa necesidad de frescura de entornos que faltaba en 2 (que se hacía muy repetitivo a ratos) y el pacing por el que está diseñado el juego ayuda también a que sea mucho más digerible todo en sesiones cortas. Es el juego más breve de los tres Prime pero no por ello le falta nada.

Los power ups y el Hypermode añaden esa capa de complejidad extra que le faltaba al combate, convirtiendo el viaje final de Samus en la trilogía 3D el más frenético de todos.

Ojalá se fijen en este juego para hacer Prime 4.

Yet another great Metroid game. I feel that this refines the Prime formula even more than the previous entries, even if it is a little too linear for my taste. I really liked the idea of going to multiple different planets and the music for each area is fantastic. Most of the upgrades were pretty underwhelming this time around however, as most of them are just brought back from the previous Prime games. I do appreciate that the beams were just straight upgrades this time around instead of separate options like in Prime 1/2. I didn't really like how the atmosphere is changed now that there is a huge group of people that Samus interacts with, especially since they keep contacting her and tell her where to go. This ends up being rather annoying at points. In the end, this might end up being my favorite of the Prime games so far, but I can't wait to see if Prime 4 changes that.
