Glad to be of service ^.^

I personally think that no matter how great a game is (story, graphics, challenge) the controls can either make or break the game. There are plenty out there >.<

I’m glad to know that MP3 is now a more enjoyable game for you.

Gil, thanks for your info … you actually made the game more fun for me! With the following things:

First of all I did switch to ‘advanced’ sensitivity, and it really improved things. The whole movement experience is much more fluid and responsive.

But most importantly, I noticed the little ‘Auto-Lock vs. Free Move’ … and now I’m in love. I was set to Free Aim … and I have no idea why that is the default. That was one of the things that annoyed me so much was when I locked onto someone, I still then had to manage to aim correctly at them. Switching it to Auto-lock did wonders for me, and has made battle time much less ‘painful’.

I loved this game and I am a diehard Metroid fanatic. I have every single one of them in my collection (save for the original metroid ported onto the advance). I agree with the first comment about the doors. I realize that the reason for the delay is that it’s trying to hide the fact that it’s loading the next map. Truly it’s not a very good excuse though. The delays are actually worse in this game than the previous 2. There needs to be some reworking of the load.

Concerning your second comment, I agree that the control is somewhat sluggish but it’s still way better and more fun than Prime 1 and 2. Also I don’t know if you have gone thru the main menu to change controller functions/settings but I definitely prefer the Advanced control. You should try all versions out to see which one you prefer if you haven’t already.

Anyway it’s great that you have the game. One of the best for the Wii in my opinion. Game on!
