Th Nintendo Wii launched in November '06, and since that time there hasn't been one game that I've been compelled to run out and buy. All that changed last week when they finally released the third game in the Metroid series, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The first two games were released on the Game Cube, and were widely considered to be two of the best games of their time. Unfortunately for the underpowered Wii, the third in the installment simply can't hold up graphically to the competition. That being said, this is the only drawback I can see. The game is brilliant. Traditional Metroid game play is in abundance, and the new controls featuring the motion sensing Wii Remote are superb. It does take some adjustment at first, but now I can't imagine playing a Metroid game without them. If this is any indication of the quality we can expect from first party Nintendo titles, I'm really looking forward to future releases.
