Sorry. I’m getting a little overboard with my title, but to be honest, I’m having a hard time trying to retain a professional demeanor after playingMetroid Prime Corruption– it’s just that good.
The controls forCorruptionare so responsive, so correct, and so intuitive, that I’ve finally been convinced that the Wii is the new home for first person adventures. I know that those are some bold words (and that games likeRed Steelhave left a pretty bad taste in player’s mouths), but if you playCorruptionfor just ten minutes, you’ll become a believer too.
I don’t know what those folks at Retro studious did, but strafing, and run ‘n’ gun tactics have never felt so good or so natural before. Without even thinking about it, you become immersed in the game; running, jumping and rolling through levels like you were born to it. Oh, and the camera? Perfect.
Seriously,Corruptionis so wonderful to play, that I just may not want to go back to the ol’ dual-sticks again.
