The Nintendo Wii continues to be a fascinating device. Celebrated for its control system, it's relatively straightforward games such as Wii Sports and Wii Play that continue to be played and put up for awards, while genuinely strong titles don't seem to fare so well in the charts. Wii Sports is, granted, a mighty fine multiplayer game. But sat next to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (which, granted, is a single-player dish), it really can't put up much of a fight.
For this is a game that demonstrates old-style Nintendo at its best. Because in the past, when the Game Cube and the Nintendo 64 were getting their respective thumpings, you could always rely on Nintendo to pull out something special to occasionally reward your loyalty. And this, the closing part of the ‘Prime' trilogy, is one of those occasions.
The game once again puts you into the shoes of bounty hunter Samus, in a first person action title that's buzzing with innovation. The core of it, of course, is that control system, and Metroid Prime 3 quickly establishes that it's one of the few titles on the Wii that genuinely knows what to do.
