Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 2007

Is it still worth playing?

Retro Studios' 2007 first person action adventure for the Wii, billed as the final part of the Prime trilogy. Its controls are built on motion. The Wii Remote aims and fires, the Nunchuk moves Samus, and a lock on lets her circle strafe and use the Grapple Beam, while the Morph Ball is played in third person. Doors and panels are worked with gestures such as pulling, pushing or twisting the Remote, and the grapple beam can rip panels off walls, connect to sky rails and tear shields off enemies. Beyond fighting, scanner, X-ray and ship visors help exploration, and Hypermode gives a power boost at the cost of an energy tank. The game spans several planets, including Norion, Bryyo and Elysia, linked by elevators, rail systems and bridges. Aiming with a pointer rather than auto aim still puts the shooting in your own hands today.
