[Dr Kain]

I completed Metroid Prime 3 a little while ago with 100%. This was my second time playing the game (yes, I beat it when it first came out and just realized that was 7 years ago, I really need to replay these games more often) and it was better than I remember. Some of the boss battles are a pain in the freaking ass though, but out of the three games, this game has the easiest final boss battles. The story is really well done and I like getting to see more of what the inhabitants of the universe are like rather than just there being space pirates or bird people. I also liked the planet hopping even though I do feel some areas could have been a bit bigger (such as the fire area of Bryyo), but it's no big deal. The pirate homeworld is pretty awesome too as it is easy to see why they try to terraform to other planets.

Strangely though, I could have sworn there was a lore or something that discussed the Auroras being based off Mother Brain or something, but I could not find it anywhere in the game. Or it might have just been a computer voice making mention of it in a data log or something. Either way, it seemed to be missing or I completely passed over it. Graphically it was one of the best looking games on the Wii.

Lastly, I did like how there was less required back tracking in the game, something that is completely opposite from the second one, but I also feel you don't get as acquainted with these worlds as you did with Talon IV and Aether. Nevertheless, I give this game a nice 8.5/10 stars.
