I absolutely loved this adventure with Samus. I am glad they added some characters and hope to see more of that in Prime 4. This is one of the few times the Wii remote felt good and not like a stupid gimmick. Although it admittedly takes getting use to. I still think Metroid Prime is the best of the Prime games but I think I may have liked this one more and had more fun playing through Corruption. A lot of people seemed to be turned off by the different planets instead of one big map but it didn’t bother me at all. The gameplay was easily the most smooth, satisfying, and fun in the Prime Trilogy. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star for me is simply the game was to easy. I found this to be the least challenging Metroid outside of Zero Mission. This is due to Hyper Mode which is suppose to be a risk reward but really it’s just a lose an E tank of health and destroy anything in front of you reward. I feel like an idiot for waiting this long to play this game. The Metroid series is my favorite Nintendo series and Corruption can stand firmly toe to toe with almost every Metroid.

@FallenGrace go back when you get a chance and check them out. They are well worth the playthrough even all these years later.

@Nowitsreyntime17. I honestly was thinking about going back and replaying it. I definitely will be replaying through the remaster version that fingers crossed will hopefully be coming to the switch soon.
