The greatest games - A Personal list of Neocracker~

The original Turok was amazing you fool! Go start it up and shoot an enemy in the neck and tell me that their death animation isn't the definition of cool. Hell, it had a T-Rex with a flamethrower and, unless my memory betrays me, a laser on it's head. How is that not awesome?

You might want to read my most recent post, my friend. I said I watched some footage on YouTube and it was much better than I remembered. I even mentioned shooting an enemy in the neck! You are forgiven though because you like baseball


Anyway, just here to give my opinion on Metroid Prime 3... It was the first Metroid game I'd played since Super Metroid on the SNES. I hope I haven't got my retro, rose-tinted glasses on but I was a little disappointed. I've been told this isn't technically an FPS but... it sure felt like one. The only FPS I have ever actually enjoyed was Goldeneye on the N64. I just don't feel immersion that most players seem to experience in these type of games.

Back to the game though, it does have some lovely aspects. The Wii remote and nunchuk controls were actually excellent. I also thought the music was particularly good in creating an atmosphere. I was just a little bored by the world presented to me when I began to play through it. After dabbling in FPS games on the PS3 and Xbox, I couldn't help but notice the difference in graphical quality of the Wii. It was kind of like a poorer version of Halo and didn't grip me at all.

I never actually completed the game and I heard things did improve the further you got but... I couldn't stick with it. I'll just return to my SNES any time I want my Metroid fix.
