ooooo i can't wait to play it.... I have the other 2 on cube. Since i dont own a Wii, I will have to find a way to play it. For twilight princess i borrowed my friend's wii for 2 months to play it, he has since sold it cause he never uses it blum.gif

 

i'm trying to work out a deal where i pay for half of the game and my other friend who owns a wii pays for the remaining half and i get the wii on some sort of a schedual yet to be determined.

 

 

its going to be good :D

I love Corruption so far, the gameplay draws you in, making you constantly want to push for the next save point. Boss battles are epic, even better than those in Twilight Princess. The only thing I wish was implimented was how in RE4 you could do a quick 180. The aiming system is great, and the game design ingeniously uses all the buttons intuitively so it all feels oh so right. Major gaming sites like Gamespot gave it 8.5, which doesn't really do it justice.

I would have bought Metroid Prime 3 if i had a Wii.

There are very few games on the wii I like, so I am not going to buy one.

 

I do wonder if you finally get to kill Metroid Prime aka Dark Samus

I've tried multiplayer in Echoes. Unfortunately, the whole Metroid concept doesn't really work to well in multiplayer, or atleast not in any way they implimented it. Maybe it could work if they had a really good map that while all locations would be accessible to everyone, would allow people to move around faster if they had grapple beam, spider ball, gravty, etc.

 

However, the way they did it was to have relatively standard arenas, with players starting with the power beam and a few missles, and being able to grab additional weapons.

 

And this is where Metroid's concept kills multiplayer, because weapons in Metroid aren't even close to balanced. In single player, you can't use Super Missiles, Beam Combos, and Power Bombs exclusively because you simply don't have enough of them to take on the numerous weak badguys. In multiplayer however, you can only have 1-3 enemies, and thus there is NO reason to slack in the department of how much ordinance you are dropping in your enemies' direction.

 

So for those of you who imagine who 'awesome' Metroid multiplayer can be, I'll give you a more realistic description: Imagine two players in morph ball mode chasing after each other for hours on end trying to drop a one-hit kill power bomb, only to find that when they do in fact get into range they BOTH drop one and both get killed.

 

For reference, Zelda would probably have a lot of problems in multiplayer as well. A newer Mario Brothers multiplayer would work. They had that in Mario Bros. 3 for NES and that was fun. Generally, in order for a single player game to be transferable to a multiplayer game, the players and the computer controlled baddies need to follow the mostly same game rules. Metroid is a mix of incredibly weak enemies that can only take you out by attrition, and incredibly powerfull yet predictably scripted bosses. Its a classic concept. It works great in single player, but it just doesn't work in multiplayer.

 

 

Oh, and one other thing: You will never be able to kill Dark Samus. Those type of characters just don't die. Infact, I doubt Ridley is dead. Last we saw, he fell off of a chasm and then we saw an explosion, something a installment-spanning boss like Ridley could easily survive. Generally, I wouldn't count one of these bosses as dead until you actually see the body explode in front of your screen with little bits of boss being splattered all over Samus' visor, and even THEN I wouldn't be so sure.
