METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION (2007) closes the Prime trilogy out with another well-playing, good looking game. This time the story has taken even more of a focus, with full cutscenes, speech and all, which is perhaps the largest flaw in this game. The story is terribly written and acted, and serves only to make the game feel like it’s imitating something like Halo rather than playing to the strengths of the series. Most of the actual gameplay is pretty familiar Metroid stuff, exploration and puzzle solving with brief boss fights and combat scenes. It’s the same game as 1 and 2 in most ways, with a few more set pieces and the embarrassingly bad story. Still the same great game, but playing catch up to the FPS genre in a bizarre way.
