If players wanted a first-person platformer with tight controls, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is your game. If players wanted interesting first-person boss battles, there’s nothing like Prime 3. If players wanted Scan Visor goodness, Corruption is the place to go. Retro Studios has perfected the formula for a Metroid action-platformer with this title, and as such I must stand firmly on the grounds that this is perhaps the best Prime game as a result. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is not a Metroid game, it is a Prime series game. Most memorable is the Space Pirate theme that takes on a much more urgent tempo than previous iterations, matching the game’s shift to an action-platformer genre. Background music is diverse, ranging from the volcanic-jungle themes of Bryyo, to the blissful floaty melodies of Skytown. I almost never get tired of stepping out of Samus’s ship and hearing the “Samus Fanfare” jingle, even though space travel is pretty common in the game.
Music is almost always amazing in Metroid titles, and Corruption returns to that tradition. Simply put: Corruption stops pretending to be what it isn’t by focusing on what FPS games are good at – shooting things to bits. Upon becoming leader of the Space Pirates, Dark Samus launches meteoric Phazon Seeds at 3 planets crucial to the Galactic Federation. Because of ambient noises at E3, a fan added some Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children music to set a better mood. Dare I say some of it looks Halo-like, not a bad thing in my book, I’m playing through Halo this weekend. It shows off a lot of interesting gameplay. 2D games on the other hand have the benefit of “hiding” pathways behind foreground objects, something that has yet to be replicated successfully in a 3D environment. Up first is the E3 Metroid trailer that played before the game started. While Metroid Prime featured a decent amount of exploration while we walked about Talon IV, it pales in comparison to the exploration options available in the 2D games since a 3D environment limits how much you can actually “hide” from players without cheating them out of areas with unnoticeable walls or holes.

The reason that I say this is that the Prime series has never been about the exploration. Many fans of the series were quick to give negative scores due to the game’s focus on action and not exploration, I think that this only improves the game’s score as the exploration becomes more of an “experience” as opposed to a side-chore. While in any other Metroid title – including the Prime games – this would be considered a heinous perversion, Metroid Prime 3 benefits greatly from this as it now feels like a fully fledged action-FPS. As a result, Samus retains her Space Jump ability, her charge beam, and her morph ball and bombs. However, an interesting feature of this game in particular is the fact that Samus does not lose any of her items in the game at any point in time. Sorry Ridley, maybe you should try knocking Samus into a wall next time?Īll features of Metroid Prime are present in Metroid Prime 3.
