To cover up my pathetic excuse for a last blogpost, I will post this as a excuse and discuss something more worthwhile: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption!

First though: I now got a Wii. Bought of a cousin of mine and spent 45 minutes with a cotton clean stick (I got no idea of what they are called in English but you normally clean your ears with them) to get the brown-black sticky sweat goo of the Wii-motes before firing it up with Mario Galaxy.

I did own a Wii once before, when Zelda was the new and cool thing (and the only thing) but sold it and I haven't even checked through the ocean of games to it since. Now on the other hand I need to wade through it find the pearls. One of them is Metroid Prime 3. I love this game.

To develop my point: It does everything right. To uses about any trick the Wii has to offer from the control scheme - point-and-aim with the Wii-mote to the fantastic mix of music and visuals to accommodate the furious run-and-gun gameplay.

What I should point out though that it is a very classic FPS experience as such. It doesn't innovate beyond the controls and the Metroid specific gameplay elements like the Morph-Ball. It begs the question is it needed?

Like a good bunch of games as of late, no - no need to redefine and experiment to deliver a solid, memorable, lengthy and well made game that I consider a defining title for the Wii.

Count me as a bit anal on the point but it needs to be said that two things bothered me slightly: Lock-on times and the flimsiness of it and also the annoying backtracking you need to do from time to time. The latter works more smoothly on a 2d plane but less so in 3d.

How about that? A "clog" post that is neither bitchy, inconsistent or logically flawed in any very apprent manner. Being a bit less sarcastic though, I apologize for the craptastic last post and subsequent comments. :(
