  • Metroid Prime 3 or Lord of the Rings in space?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Catch watch that at work. Will it have voice? That's the one thing Nintendo does that annoys the crap out of me. They don't necessarily have to have the main character with voice, but at least the rest

It has voice acting, plus the game is not Samus against the world, there are actual allies in this one. It may look a lot like previous Metroid Prime Hunter games, but judging by the videos, it plays completely differently. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption certainly features much more cinematic and much more action packed sequences.

I hope the action-packed sequences are just that, sequences...and occasionally. The entire appeal of the game is the fact that it's an FPA(dventure) not an FPS. If they add too much action, it just becomes another FPS with puzzle elements. There's tons of those on the market. Metroid Prime always felt and played different and just like the NES and SNES ones, just in 3D. That's why they're so good. GoW has also done a good job of distinguishing itself as not just another FPS with the 3rd person view and the gameplay mechanics.

Don't get me wrong, I'm getting this game day one. After the first two and the GBA one (Zero Mission was done by Intelligent Systems, not Retro; it was excellent too), they've earned a blind-faith purchase from me. I'd love to see them expand the gameplay but they shouldn't deviate too much or try to copycat too much what's out there, it would ruin the series IMO (see: Castlevania)
