The Nintendo Wii has made a name for itself by appealing to casual videogame players, but "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption" is the system's first decent title that isn't really for them. Gamers who have complained that the Wii is just for Grandma to go virtual bowling will finally find the kind of tightly constructed, flashy sci-fi adventure they love. That should generate some good will, but it will hardly draw the hardcore away from Sony and Microsoft. Ultimately, gamers looking for a well paced, thrill-a-minute shooter with a compelling narrative are going to be disappointed. "Halo" this ain't.
(Bold is my emphasis).Too much of the time, though, "Metroid Prime 3" is more tedious than epic. This is particularly true of the boss battles, which are exhaustive affairs requiring dedication, patience, and most importantly, a familiarity with the vocabulary of videogames: double jumping, circle strafing, shooting weak points for massive damage, etc. Those who previously used the Wii only for party games will need a 13 year-old boy to explain it all.
(Note: I didn't write that, I got it from IGN).You know how the Wii is for grandmas and Sony and Microsoft make better games for hardcore gamers? Here's a hardcore game for the Wii but it's not hardcore enough, but it's too hard for me to play it. Apparently it's from a series that's been going on for years and years and it stays true to the series but I wouldn't know. Anyway, the game sucks because I don't know how to play it. It's not as hardcore as Halo but it forces you to double-jump and strafe during boss fights, which confuses me. I don't know what to do in it. I don't understand how to play the game but I know it's not as good as Halo, because Halo makes you shoot more, although shooting is hard for me to do in games. The Wii is for grandmas and casual gamers and this game won't help change that but I have no idea how to play it because it's too hard for me. Halo rules.

Well BHAGHAGAGAGAA!!CreepinDeth said:I'm sorry, but did you just say I'm flaming this one? I didn't even state anything about the article at all. Just at variety. Plus it was just a sarcastic, rhetorical question. I don't see how my comment even remotely constituted flaming the article.
