So, I got Metroid Prime 3 Corruption on Thursday and it took me 19 hours 10 minutes to complete it on Veteran mode with a 100% collection rate. It took me so long cause I spent most of my time scanning EVERYTHING and reading all of the data-logs and just soaking up the environments in the game. I literally just stood there and looked at things just to see all the finer details lol.

There were quite a few things I liked about this game, I think it tied up the Prime sub-series very well, though Phazon and its relation to Metroids themselves is still a mystery despite the HUGE, HUGE amounts of information you find out about it in this game. I also have a feeling that if there is going to be a remake of Metroid II Return of Samus, it's going to have Randus in it as a badguy. Why do I say this? Because in the 100% ending you can see his ship appear as Samus' ship enters hyperspace. He very well may have survived and is highly corrupted by Phazon...

There's also a part early on in the game, when you see the first PED suit enabled GF Trooper use his suit, that I like. It's just after the cutscene end and then suddenly he goes "What the heck is that?!" and you suddenly see Ridley swoop by and attack another part of the base in the distance. XD Man I loved that part, it was so damn awesome. By instinct I starts firing off into the distance towards Ridley lol.

I also liked that little mini battle you have with him in morphball mode, that was a nice touch. But it was great fighting with him while you both went falling down the generator shaft, that was very cool. Omega Ridley was also cool to fight...

Speaking of which, Ridley's metamorphosis over the years is really starting to make sense now. In Metroid Zero Mission he's normal, a dark brownish colour and when you defeat him, you can see all the explosions, but he doesn't break up, he just drops to the background and then out of sight. Then he returns in Metroid Prime, this time all mechanised up as Meta Ridley. When you defeat him there he drops off of the cliff. He returns yet again in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, still as Meta Ridley, but with upgrades to his mechanised enhancements. When you defeat him, he falls to the bottom of the generator shaft. Then, later in the game comes Omega Ridley. Now THIS is where things start getting interesting, he's still got mechanised enhancements, but he's been charged with Phazon and his colour has changed from brown to blue. Once you defeat him here, he explodes in the a cloud of vapour... which confuses me... But let's assume he survived that battle. The interesting note about his colour change I made earlier is great cause in Super Metroid, Ridley has purple colouring instead of that dark brown colour he used to have... and THEN in Metroid Fusion, there's a specimen of Ridley being kept in the BSD lab which an X mutates into and it looks suspiciously like a highly charged Phazon variation of Ridley, similar to Omega Ridley... blue colouring and all.


I'll leave it at that for now, but I hope I have other people to talk about MP3C with in this place. I have a lot more stuff to talk about regarding MP3C, the Prime subseries and Metroid as a whole in relation to this game. SO MUCH MORE. And believe me, I've made some very interesting observations for those who are interested.
