"It's got exactly what you would expect from the last in an acclaimed trilogy of titles: great boss battles, involved environmental puzzles, and a smooth control scheme that cements exactly how FPS controls should work on the platform."
--Kevin VanOrd, GameSpot
"With so many ways to fell your foes (freezing, melting, bombing, grappling, electrocuting), even simple enemy encounters become white-knuckle moments that put all of your skills to the test."
--Brett Elston, GamesRadar US
"It's a fitting end to Samus' exploits and ranks highly in the Wii's current library of games."
--Bryn Williams, GameSpy
"Truth be told, it's probably one of the best titles available for the Wii, and a worthy pickup."
--DaveMayCry, GamePro
"The visuals are pushed to the limit, offering some really breathtaking vistas of the alien worlds, which do a mostly good job of avoiding traditional tropes like ice and lava (although both are present)."
--Giles Bird, Yahoo!Games
"While it doesn't do much to change the overall formula of the Metroid Prime franchise, it manages to fix many of the flaws found in Metroid Prime 2."
--Atom, Worth Playing
"Amazing as it is to say about a Wii game, Corruption contains some of the best visuals in gaming, period."
--Mark MacDonald, 1UP
"We certainly aren't tired of the Metriod Prime series, and this revolutionary first-person adventure with tight controls will easily be one of 2007's best games. If Corruption is wrong, we don't want to be right."
--Chris Buffa, GameDaily
"Corruption is the evolution of the Prime series and a game that is very highly polished in nearly every respect. It's got better control. Better pacing. Better visuals. Better cinematics. And better bonuses."
--Matt Casamassina, IGN
"The boss fights in Metroid Prime 3 give you that "leaning over the edge of your chair" experience most of us have been yearning to experience since Twilight Princess."
--Steve Wysowski, GamerNode
"The team at Retro Studios gave us a solid FPS experience for the Wii that was sorely missing. Thankfully, their full, undivided attention and effort went into creating a truly killer app for the little white giant."
--Jonathan Marx, Cheat Code Cenral
"But Corruption isn’t just the best-looking Wii game to date; it’s the best Metroid Prime game period. "
--Ben Reeves, Game Informer
"The original Metroid Prime is one of the highest-rated games in existence, but Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is easily superior. It’s far less frustrating, and more action packed, while managing to redefine console shooting controls in the process."
