    Other sites will be posting their reviews too, not just IGN. I wish I had a Wii, because I want to play this really bad.

      This is the first Wii game in a long time that has finally had me somewhat excited. I didn't play Echoes, so I hope it doesn't mess up any part of the story for me.

        What time-zone is IGN in, because I'm not waiting up until 2 or 3.

              I didnt read the whole review because I don't want anything to be spoiled but man, I am so excited.

              I really can't say it enough. Hopefully this time, I SNIFF the end of the game.

                "Closing Comments
                Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was originally set to launch with Wii, but the year-long delay has been very much worth the wait. Call it a first- person shooter or a first-person adventure -- doesn't matter. I call it the best game on Nintendo's console. It is clear from the moment you pick up the controller that Prime 3 was developed exclusively for Wii. Not only do the new controls respond quicker and with more precision than any dual-analog-helmed FPS ever created, but the gesture system works brilliantly, too. Meanwhile, the title delivers everything a Metroid fan could hope for, including spectacular environmental puzzles, epic boss fights and intense combat, all wrapped up in a package that spans multiple worlds and is filled with re-traversal exploration. A cinematic storyline made possible by beautiful art and graphics rounds out the experience, which is complemented by a medal system and WiiConnect24 compatibility.

                There are a couple of minor quibbles that keep Prime 3 from a higher score. The first and most obvious is that the game is a sequel and thus inherently feels familiar. While Corruption features more variety than any of its predecessors, it's not the design revolution that the original game was. Also, as you explore the world, you will occasionally encounter doorways that take longer than they should to open, as they are loading the next area. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence, but it does occur. And finally, while the majority of the 20-hour experience flows, there's one fetch quest that interrupts the pace.

                We rated the original Metroid Prime a 9.8 on GameCube and had Corruption been the first game in the series it'd have been worthy of the same score. As it stands, Samus Aran's latest adventure is a spectacular must-own experience and one of Wii's defining games. Stop reading and buy it."



                Presentation

                The best yet in the Prime series, Corruption comes to life with atmoshperic cinemas and voice acting. Meanwhile, a medal system and WiiConnect24 support offer great incentive to keep playing.

                9.5 Graphics

                Currently, Wii's best looking game. Retro's artistic sense is second to none. Prime 3 includes a welcomed variety of gorgeous planets to explore and runs in 480p / 16:9 at 60 frames per second.

                10 Sound

                The score by Kenji Yamamoto is as moody as ever, even featuring throwbacks
                to some previous games. The sound effects are punchy and the voice acting is well implemented.

                9.5 Gameplay

                Spectacular. Controls better than any console first-person game before it, features great pacing and a fun mix of puzzles and shooting. In contrast, there's a tedious fetch quest and some door loads.

                9.0 Lasting Appeal

                At 20-plus hours, it stands tall next to the other Prime games. The single-player affair is a little easier, but you can extend replay by scanning everything or playing again in Hyper Mode.

                9.5
                Incredible OVERALL
                (out of 10 / not an average)

                      Looks like I'm picking up Tiger for the 360, and Metroid this week.

                        like pseudo-achievements(kill 500 enemies in a row). you can send pictures to your friends, unlock music, art, create bobbleheads, and some other stuff.

                        I could have sworn i saw something about gamespy while watching the video review, but its too early and my brain isnt kicking on all cylinders yet.

                            It's as close to the 2D version of the game as you can get for a 3D game if I made any sense.

                            The atmosphere, gameplay, story, graphics, BOSS BATTLES, etc are all there and let me tell you some of the Boss Battles are insane and the last Boss in Metroid Prime is downright scary looking.

                              Download Metroid to VC... My God, it's one of the best games ever made. Who are you?!

                                the Wii is the first Nintendo I have owned. I think I played Metroid on the NES a loooong time ago though.
