Item Description

This time, the enemy gets inside Samus. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption opens with a Space Pirate assault on the Federation and an ambush by Dark Samus that leaves Samus and three fellow bounty hunters infected with Phazon. She wakes in a new PED Suit that lets her channel that corruption as a weapon, and for the rest of the adventure she is fighting a war on two fronts: against the Pirates and the spreading Phazon, and against what it is doing to her.

That idea becomes the game's signature mechanic. Hypermode trades an Energy Tank for a burst of devastating Phazon power, and pushing it too far risks Samus losing control. The bigger revolution was in the controls. Retro Studios built Corruption around the Wii Remote's pointer, letting you aim freely across the screen while locking onto targets, and the result felt more natural than anything console shooters had offered before. The Nunchuk joins in with the Grapple Lasso, which you yank back to rip shields from Space Pirates and tear open sealed doors, while handles, levers and keypads ask you to physically twist, push and pull your way through Samus's world.

The Prime formula of scanning, backtracking and slowly unlocking a world returns on a larger stage. Instead of one planet, you pilot Samus's gunship between several: the ruined jungles and lava fields of Bryyo, Elysia's SkyTown suspended in the clouds, and the Pirate Homeworld itself. The Command Visor lets you call the ship in for landings and bombing runs, and the fellow hunters Rundas, Ghor and Gandrayda bring a cast of rivals that the earlier Prime games never had, with Federation characters given voices for the first time in the series.

Released in 2007, Corruption closed out Retro Studios' Prime trilogy and showed what the Wii could do for first-person games, and its control scheme later became the template when the first two Prime games were reworked for Metroid Prime Trilogy. This standalone release is where those ideas debuted, and it still looks striking on the Wii today: the finale of the Phazon saga and the close of Dark Samus's story arc, played with the pointer controls that changed how console shooters felt.

About the game

The trilogy closes as corruption creeps over the universe… and into Samus Aran. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, players control Samus as she partners with other bounty hunters, shoots down enemies, and explores alien worlds in a harrowing mission to stop the mutagenic Phazon from spreading across the galaxy.
