The Final of the Trilogy - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

Once again writing about an older game (life can be so cruel sometimes ... must stay strong) and once again its a Metroid game and even better it is the thrilling finale of a trilogy.

This game follows Samus Aran as she discovers a new power source that makes her incredibly strong, but for a price. Though she gains power, she has become corrupted by this mysterious material that has entered her body. What does this mean? It means if you use this power too much and don't expel the excess energy quickly, its game over. (Which means she dies and you have to start from the last save point, which in this game can be hard to come by.) In addition to that, this game has an incredibly accurate shooting system that allows you to use the Wiimote to point and shoot at the various creatures you will encounter. In addition to these, I must say I was very impressed by how long the game is, and how much there is to it.
As you've learned by now, when I'm done ranting and raving you get to see if the money will be an issue for you (and it always is for me ... moving on). Well you have 2 choices when buying this game. You can buy it in the original form as shown above for a varying price range of $20-$50 or you can buy a combo pack that includes the whole trilogy of Metroid Prime games, used is about $65 at Gamestop, but the new are rare, so most likely you would buy on eBay for a varying price range. I would recommend just getting it by itself unless you know you are a fan of the space-fantasy, RPG, Shooters. Overall I give this game a 8/10 for its amazing game-play  and lengthy storyline.
