Welcome to Gaia! ::

Metroid Prime 3. Not only does it show the hardcore gamer what god looks like, it's gets rid of doubts naysayers might have about Wii. For example, that "Wii can't put out good graphics" or "Wii can't make a good FPS control scheme."

It's a lot of fun too biggrin

One thing about it, that was also said in the IGN video review (I'm such an IGN junkie gonk ), the game is very segmented. There will be some parts where it's full on first person adventure, where you'll be solving morph ball puzzles, flipping switches and turning keys, grappling and basically exploring and scanning, without firing your beam for a long time. Then, right away it becomes first person shooter, where you're scurrying around, using the lock on free aim, shooting power beam, missile, charge beam, and switching in and out of hyper mode as fast as the eye can see, in fast-paced, intense combat. While it seems like someone who would only like one aspect would shun the other, it actually works very well, and I'm sure any FPS lover would like planting morph ball bombs to raise a platform in this game, and I think any Adventure lover would enjoy blowing the crap out of hordes of Space Pirates.

Be VERY careful.

I don't know about Warhawk, but Metroid Prime 3 is very hard to put down once you pick it up. I pretty much had to drag myself out of my house to go buy food. Metroid Prime 3 is worth starving for!!!!
