Let's face it, this is one of the best Wii games. Graphically, dept of gameplay, control wise, ease of play, sound quality, story line, make this hands down one of the best games available for the Wii. This is a Action First Person Shooter Sci-Fi Actions Adventure. The controls are simple and surprisingly accurate. If you like movies like Aliens, Starship Troopers, Star Wars or Blade Runner, then it's a pretty safe bet you will enjoy this game. You don't have to be familiar with the previous Prime series Metroid games to understand the story here and be completely engrossed in the game. Veterans of the original Metroid games will enjoy the nostalgic nods to the roots of the series. In typical Metroid fashion there is plenty of backtracking and re-exploring of areas. This game spans several Planets and locations.  Great use of the waggle Wiimote and how it integrates into the gameplay, from shooting to scanning objects, it's just feels so natural. Average players will take upwards of 20 hours to complete the game. One complaint, why didn't Nintendo include online multiplayer!
