I recently gave Metroid Prime 3 another chance because I have become a fan of 'twin stick shooters' (such as Doom 3, Half Life 2, Destiny, and so on) and I didn't want to wait for the next big game to come out. Plus, its control scheme sounds so innovative on paper, I just had to give it one more try. This time I put it on advanced aim mode, because, well, I was more of a veteran of shooters now right? I'm so glad I did, because it makes all the difference. The Wii remote acts like the perfect fusion of the camera stick and 'mouse look', completely curing the only beef I had with the Prime series: it's so hard to look around. Advanced mode with free aim is actually so perfectly tuned, it's easier to use than twin stick controls, and better! I played the whole game without ever needing to lock on! I then immediately played Prime 1, and I couldn't believe how well the Wii remote was suited to that game as well. The developers created a near flawless port--you can barely tell it wasn't meant for the remote. This trilogy is so good, I now wish ALL my games had this exact control scheme! I can't wait to play Prime 2! You won't find any set of games with more imaginative environments, creativity, or satisfying exploration. If you prefer 'adventure shooters' to 'linear shooters', do yourself a solid and get this game!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Metroid Prime Trilogy is a compilation of all three Metroid Prime games. The first two Prime games were originally released for the Gamecube in 2002 and 2004 respectively, and the third was released in 2007 on the Wii. The first 2 games have recieved some graphical, and gameplay improvements for this compilation. Better textures, effects, lighting, and new 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. I played the first 2 Prime games on the Gamecube in their original format, and I can tell you, these new versions are THE versions to play. One of the most noticeable improvements, is that Prime 1 and 2 now use the Wii motion controls from the 3rd Prime game, and that's a good thing. Prime 3 had one of the best 1st person controls for a Wii game. No waggle, or pointless gimmicks, it really puts you in control of Samus Aran, and gives you the feeling of power and technique of the bounty hunter. You'll be walking, jumping, shooting, and rolling into a morph ball with ease. The learning curve is not large. Once you learn the button layout, it's a snap. Another fun improvement is that all 3 games now have an achivement system, much like a PS3 or a XBOX 360 game has. Their achivement tokens, and you can use them to buy and unlock special bonus features, like picture galleries, music libraries, and some special game unlockables, like the Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion on Prime 1. There are "Friend Tokens" which you get by exchanging friend codes with others who also have Prime Trilogy. This is something I wish wasn't in the game, since not everyone you know will have the game... But I'm sure you could find somebody online who might have it... This is my only complaint. Now, the packaging for the US version is in a steelbook case, with a transparent plastic sheet the covers it. Also included is a little booklet with a synopsis of the Prime series with some cool artwork and conceptual art. If your looking to get this game, try and get it complete with the artwork, manual, and plastic sheath. Another note for collectors: This compilation was released on August 24th 2009, and 4 months later, Nintendo discontinued producing it for the US market, so it's a rather rare and limited game, and can be expensive if your looking for it brand new, unfortunately. A good used condition could bring in $60 dollars or more, so just look around eBay for some good deals. All 3 games are masterpieces, and to get them altogether in this on package on a single disc, is one of the best deals, or at least was at the time it was out before it was discontinued. But it's still a great gaming experience, not to be missed by Nintendo fans, and Metroid enthusiasts. This is simply one of the best compilations ever made, hands down, and worth your time and money.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is one of the best video game compilations of all time. Aside from the addition of Metroid Prime 3 which is a stand alone Wii title. Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes get the best ports of both titles on the single disk. Both Gamecube titles use the Wii controls, and they are well balanced, not gimmicky, and refresh the game for a new experience, even for veterans. The graphics have been enhanced for sharper visual clarity and put in a 16:9 format. And yes, these games display beautifully on an HDTV and have no visual hitches in the presentation or any bluring or jagged imagery. The developers were very consious to ensure these games display properly without sacrificing the quality of the titles. The framerates have been smoothed out as well, so both games run better than they ever did on the Gamecube, and old slowdowns and lags in certain parts are a thing of the past thanks to the dual-lyered DVD. The extras are also very nice with this collection. They added in-game achievements for each title, a revamped difficulty setting for "veteran" and novice players making the game far more accessible than when they were first released. There's also still MP2's multiplayer(not online-based), and unlockable art galleries of each game. Overall, this collection is a hard find and you will no doubt pay high for a new copy. But used or new, this is a must for Metroid and Nintendo fans, it's worth every penny.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Items received as described and contains everything the image showed (including the Club Nintendo game code, which was outdated for a few years already, lol). Game is working perfectly fine and the disc is near-perfect condition. Shipping to Canada; it used about less than a week, pretty reasonable timing. Very satisfied overall.

Two of the best games on the Gamecube, and one of the best on the Wii... all for the price of one Wii game. Enough said! First off it's not a First Person Shooter. As Nintendo will tell you this is a First Person Adventure and I have to agree. Having avoided playing these games for their FPS looks until about 2007 I can see why many people never gave it a chance and decided to wait for 2D Metroid to return. Well, that is a bad judgment call as this is a fantastic series of games that will please any and all Metroid fans. This is a great primer for the upcoming Metroid: Other M in a couple months as it will get gamers new to the Wii nunchuck controls up to speed. The controls take an hour or two to get used to, especially after playing the Gamecube games with a traditional controller for years. I feel this is a great value, and apparently a limited edition release. So snag it up while you can. It has everything a Metroid fan could want (except Gamecube controller support).Vollständige Rezension lesen
