Excellent trilogy of some of the finest video games I've ever played. I especially love it as a package because each game approaches progression and world design a bit differently, giving them their own strong identity while still being Metroid Prime at their core.

The controls take a steady hand and some getting used to but when you adapt they're perfect! The Wii Remote has the precision of a mouse and keyboard and almost all the buttons easily in reach for making quick actions. It feels like the games were made for this controller, or this controller was made for games like them! Try to use Advanced Sensitivity, it makes turning a lot easier.

My biggest criticisms are with the options and extras. Options are very limited, Metroid Prime Remastered definitely puts this collection to shame with how much customization it gave you. You can't even use a GameCube Controller in this.

The extras are almost good but have weird oddities, like some unlocks costing tokens that required online friends to get.
Also weird omissions, like the soundtrack selection which only includes some tracks, not even all of the most iconic ones. Stuff like the main Torvus Bog theme aren't there but some forgettable cutscene music is, I know it's a trivial thing to get hung up on but it just confuses me lol.

Amazing trilogy, I don't need to say why, the games speak for themselves. Give it a play if you haven't!
