Platform: Nintendo Wii
Publisher: Nintendo
Product features:
- First-Person Perfect - Control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the Wii Remote controller, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced
- Wonderful Weapons - Samus employs well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball to survive. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, you will be able to grasp and pull things by using actual arm movements, as well as execute amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run.
- Phazon's Powers - The game also incorporates a new system involving Phazon. If you fill Samus' Phazon supply to a certain level, Samus will temporarily go into hyper mode, a state in which she can pull off incredible feats. On the flip side, if she exceeds the maximum Phazon level, she'll perish.
- For the first time in the Metroid series, Samus' ship will be used in active game play

Video Game Reviews of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Customer Review: All about the gameplay
Summary: 4 Stars
MP3 is all about the gameplay. It makes really great use of the Wii's unique capabilities. In fact, this could well be the best Wii title in terms of pure overall gameplay. The only thing I missed was the capability to swing around a cylindrical object (ie a sword or something like that), which to me is one of the funnest things you can do with your Wiimote (and the reason that I would rate the final boss battle in Zelda Twilight Princess to be one of my top 5 gaming experiences of all time).
But alas, I digress... playing MP3 was a great experience, and Im usually not that into first person shooters. The combination of unique Wiimote interactions, action sequences, and some very well thought-out tools and puzzles make this a truly top-shelf title, and one that any Wii owner should undertake at some point.
The only caveat is that it really is all about the gameplay, as in the story is secondary at best, and a pretty lame excuse to frame everything together at worst. I've never played any of the other Metroids, so I didn't know any of the background coming in, and after completing this I still don't know much. In fact, in hindsight I still don't even truly get what "Phazon" is supposed to be, despite the fact that it's apparently pretty central to the story here. It would have been nice if they could have at least provided a little bit of expository info about the universe you're working in.
In the end, though, the excellent gameplay more than makes up for the lack of story in this case, to the point where you'll almost certainly end up getting sucked in and immersed into it all. So yeah, it's all about the gameplay. Keep that in mind, and you'll definitely enjoy yourself.
Description of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
You ARE Samus with Wii control! By moving around with the Nunchuk and aiming Samus's gun with the Wii Remote, you'll do more than look through the eyes of Samus-you'll experience a quantum leap in first-person control. Fire on the run, grapple enemies and yank off their shields, or manipulate machinery with movements of the Nunchuk and Wii Remote-it all adds up to a level of immersion only possible on the Nintendo Wii, and the best first-person controls on any platform, period. ** Corruption is everywhere... Dark Samus, Samus's longtime nemesis, is corrupting entire planets by launching enormous seeds called Leviathans into them. Samus must travel to multiple planets-each with unique alien landscapes and dangers-to fight the corruption and track several other bounty hunters, all the while fighting the spreading Phazon that threatens to take over her body completely. As it corrupts her, it also grants her incredible powers... ** Enter Hypermode! Samus will employ a never-before-used device called a Phazon Enhancement Device (P.E.D) that harnesses the Phazon within her and puts her into a state called Hypermode. In Hypermode, Samus can destroy Phazon impediments and annihilate enemies with superpowered weapons...but it drains her health to use it, and she risks utter corruption if she doesn't empty her Phazon meter within a certain time frame. You'll need to carefully balance your need for ultimate power with the inherent danger of corruption.All Games
