Metroid Prime: Trilogy

For those who are new to the Metroid Prime series, with interests in first person shooting with third person elements, this is essential. MP1 & 2 are not just the same Gamecube games with Wii controls slapped on; they have been intelligently adapted for higher quality resolutions. Each one of these games are epic in the truest sense of the word. You don't have to take my word for it, just check the numerous game reviewing websites!

FPSs on Wii are a rare-breed of game and this is the jewel in the crown. The game mechanic works incredibly well and although MP1 and 2 are re-hashes of Game-Cube titles, they work exceptionally well with the new control mechanism. In comparison to HD games, the graphics are not bad. MP1 and 2 have been scaled to 16x9 widescreen format and I use the EDTV 60Hz mode so it is very smooth. MP1 is the best in terms of art-design and MP3 is the best in terms of getting the most out of the Wii remote and nunchuck. An excellent game (3 games) and essential to have in the collection if you like adventure fps games.

I was a huge fan of Super Metroid on SNES and completed it when it came out in 1994. Metroid prime is a fantastic update of the old SNES game, having all the same elements whilst updating it for 3D. All three games are huge, challenging and extremely addictive.

I would call these games First Person Adventures rather than shooters - the pace is a bit slower than a standard FPS , but as long as you don't mind a bit of brainwork and exploring to go alongside the combat these are unmissable!

I have been playing Metroid since Super Metroid back in 1994 and from that day i have become hooked in this universe from the age of 4 and i still rate Super Metroid as the best in the series. But the Prime series was a great change for Metroid, finally going 3D on the gamecube. Metroid Prime 1 & 2 are one of the best games of the last generation and Prime 3 is one of the best you'll get on the Wii but your getting 3 games on one disc with updated controls, 480p support and 16:9 wide screen support for Prime 1 & 2 . You cant go wrong, these games will offer hours of gameplay and its well worth the money. If you have a Wii and still haven't experienced Metroid this is one of the best places to start.

Three great games for the price of one i absolutly loved all 3 of these games. there are hours of gameplay and collecting to do aswell as some epic boss battles anyone who likes first person shooters and exploration should buy this game one of nintendo's best franchises as good as zelda and mario easily
