Title: So I bought Metroid Prime 3 today (insert thoughts here)
Post by: JGE on September 14, 2007, 06:58:42 PM
Played it for two hours.

It is indeed a pretty good game, though I liked Twilight Princess and Mario Strikers Charged more, Metroid Prime 3 is still a okay game.

The controls are really good, the visuals are awesome, plus I like all of the cinematics and voice acting.
But one thing I don't understand is, why give every character in the game voice acting except for Samus, the main character? Though I do understand that voice acting has the potential to make or break a game, so giving Samus voice acting would seem risky.

As for the game itself, at first when I started playing it bored me to death, but once the space pirates hit the Olympus the game has been going uphill ever since. I have never seen this much action in a Metroid game before, the Berserker boss battle and bridge fight were just awesome.
Though the controls are somewhat exaggerated. Sure they are really precise, but most of the time I feel the game is just using it as a gimmick. "Push forward, move clockwise, pull out, push in" etc. It was cool at first, but now it's starting to get annoying.

Overall despite a couple of  issues, the game is fun, though it doesn't look like it will have lasting play after the first play through of the game.

I'd give it a 8.3 - 8.5 out of 10.

Twilight Princess has nothing to do with this.

A tad bit.


I also said Mario Strikers Charged as well, why not mention that. All I'm saying is what games I liked more, nothing to do with the games quality.

Except for her monologues in Metroid Fusion and Super Metroid, Samus pretty much never talks. She's almost a complete silent protagonist. I guess that's one good reason for them to not give her voice acting.

Never played the first one. Though I was not comparing them, I was just commenting on what I liked better.
