GamePro: First Look of Metroid Prime 3

It seems as though the lucky guys over at GamePro got a chance to go hands-on with Nintendo’s Metroid Prime 3: Corruption at an invite-only gaming session. Here is what they had to report:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Definitely stole the the show. The graphics looked amazing better than Halo 2 on the Xbox without a doubt and the levels showed off sparkling details, proving the Wii is far more powerful than the Gamecube. Out of all the games we played, the Wii controller seemed most at home with Metroid.

The experience was much like playing a PC first-person shooter, especially since the nunchucku analog stick controlled movement We found that standing roughly four feet from the TV provided the best motion, and the cursor stayed smooth and steady no shakiness! The frame rate was also smooth and consistent, even when the screen got crowded with special effects. Metroid was probably the best Wii game on display. Wii cant wait to play more!

Anyone nervous about Wii’s graphics can now breathe a sigh of relief. Metroid has quickly jumped up my list of must have title and I cannot wait to play this title!
