Echos is good, but I didn't have enough time to finish it, it's still sitting in my GC...I really wish I had a wii/the time to play 3.

I bought the game, and it kind of bored me after 2 hours of play... last Metroid game I played was Metroid 2 (gameboy exclusive, 1992?)

I've been spoiled by FPS titles on the PC mang... The voice acting, story, enviroments and what not kind of bored me. However, Resident Evil 4 took a few hours to grow on me, and become one of my favorite games EVAR.

I have this game and it is better than 1 & 2 by leaps and bounds. Definitely worth a purchase if you own a wii.

I've decided that this is going to be the first next-gen game I get. I've had a wii for 2 months playing wii sports and I need a game with a good storyline, and I LOVED Metroid Prime 1.

After downloading the previews on that Metroid Wii Channel, I decided I'll never play the game. It really does look terrible by todays standards.

If all you base a game on is looks, i'm sorry but your really limiting yourself.

the looks are pretty weak... but try renting it first.

I'm not really happy with it so far, but i'll give it a few more hours before it goes on teh E-bay
