Metriod, Samus owns Options

[AC9breaker]

No I don't have a Wii and I don't have Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. But all the hype I've been hearing about this game really has me amped up to play it. So I remembered that I still had Echos for Gamecube and that I hadn't beaten it yet. So I popped that puppy in and I was totally lost.

I didn't know what I was suppose to do, so I remembered I had hint system turned off. Turned it back on and bam back on track! Of course I still had to figure out how exactly I was suppose to get to my destination which took about 30 mins. Finally I figured it out and before I knew it I was blasting me some Space Pirates. I was in this really cool High tech looking place that really reminds me of some of the places I saw in the Metroid Prime 3 Corruption videos I'd seen online. I ran into this crazy ass floating ball that shot me with something and my screen goes all hazy, a bunch of wierd letters pop out at the bottom of the screen and then I see it says on the top press L + R + B to reboot. I do so and I'm back to normal and my visor indicates that all my functions are back online. ... FREAKING AWESOME. Okay, I know I may be a little too excited over this but man, I just wanna say Metroid owns and I wish I had corruption.

Game is great so far. However, this one is full on FPS if you can handle that. With the other two it was first person perspective but with limited aiming ability while moving and lock on. The Prime games never fully felt like a FPS in my opinion because of that. The intro level down right reminded me of your standard intro for FPS pc games like Half-Life 2. You know you walking around following NPC characters in a lab, you get strapped to a chair, and they scan you and run test, and you can look around while being strapped down. Shit like that.

I like there are new elements in the game introduced to you as new to the series, while also other new elements introduced because of the new control style.

Yes there are three control styles. Basically the first one is like the old style, where you lock on. The other two is free roaming while locked but you get access to the side step jump around while locked. The difference between Standard and Advanced, I believe, is sensitivity while turning. I have it on advanced.

Seems to be more puzzles in this one from what I remember of the other two. And I'm early in the game.

The voice acting help with the immersion into the game and story a lot better than arriving some place and reading objectives, in my opinion.


*Kinda spoiler below*

Boss fights are top notch. Really going for you have not seen this before card. Meta Ridley fight, early on, was really awesome in a LOTR: Two Towers, Gandalf vs Balrog kinda way.

Iceman dude, boss, was cool too. However, the experience was kinda ruined when I got him to 3/4 health. Like the other games, bosses throw all kinds of attacks at you and mix it up, and throw new ones at you at certain health percentages. However, he started doing some cool shit and when he was done at 3/4 health he did the Iceman ice-slide into the wall and got stuck. He could not attack anymore, but I could kill him. Dissappointing to say the least.

I like it better than Echos so far, and better than last portions of Prime (since I think towards the end the quest kinda loses steam).
