A great first person adventure
The first thing to note about this game is that it is a first person adventure, not shooter. The focus of this game is slightly more puzzle solving than shooting. I would recomend that the player of this game to be 12+ due to the difficulty of the puzzles as well a the minimal violence. As to the actual shooting, you use beams, missiles, and bombs. The bodies disappear when they are killed and there is a minimal amount of blood. The controls are awkward if this is the first 1st person viewpoint game on the Wii. After you get over that, it has some of the best controls I've seen in a long time. The graphics push the Wii's limit and are artistically great. Another thing to note is that the CS note states that you can play online. This is not true. The only interaction online is you are able to send to your friends (the list off of the console) the vouchers you earn during the game. More stuff can be unlocked, like a screen shot tool, and it is no way dangerous. Note for anyone who does not know, but cares. Samus is a woman.

I KNOW I'M STILL USING CAPS BUT I'M JUST SOOOOO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN WHY WOULD NINTENDO EVER IN THEIR GAME MAKING LIFE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT..........I Mean I Don't really Play ALL Their Games Like Zelda,Kirby,Pokemon etc. But Out Of All Their games I Play I Have Never never Never Ever Seen A Single Word That Is As Bad As That Word The Guy Says In This Game 'Metroid Prime 3" (I Just Wanted To Type This Games Name) But I Want To call (NINTENDO) So Bad And Have a Serious Meeting With Them To Talk About Why They put That Word in One Of Their Games IT"S JUST SO UPSETTING. okay Bye

All the action of a AAA title without the gratuitous violence
Let me open up by saying this is quite possibly the best game available for the Wii right now. Once you experience the control system, you will think, "This is why I bought a Wii!" I think the game is very appropriate for older kids about 10 and older. The violence in the game is very mild. There is very little blood (just a couple drops of green fluid once or twice) You will never shoot a human being in any mode of this game. You only kill aliens who usually fall to the ground with no blood, and simply vanish. Sexual content is a non-issue. There aren't any inneuendos, the worst thing that ever happens is in a couple parts of the game Samus takes of her battle armor to reveal her jump suit underneath, which while it is form-fitting really isn't skin-tight (think the Star Trek uniforms and you've got it.) There is only one curse word in the entire word. The commander says D**n once. The gameplay is excellent and the controls are very fluid and responsive. This is a game you can feel good about letting your kids and teens play, considering the other stuff out there.

you're shooting aliens that don't bleed... how is it bad or near to it?
this a nintendo game, which means that it is reated very carefully and has been tested and observed by parents before its release. It is rated teen, as in over 13 years old. Let your kid have this game if he is over 13. That's how the system works. 13+ is ok if your kid is 13+ years old. See? Kinda cool huh? Weird how that works... >_<

Good game for 12+
In this game you shoot aliens and this game is not disturbing for most pre-teens and this game is moderate.

Wonderful fun, and decent storyline
In addition to whats already stated in "What families can talk about". Throughout the game there are undertones in the conflicts between the different civilizations. Though this game is in the Sci-Fi category, its clear the makers of the storyline wanted to ask the player "when does technology cross moral lines?". You see the remnants of the Chozos, who found a balance between the ways of old and new, their city is very beautiful, and they are portrayed as the enlightened civilization. And then you meet the Space Pirates, who in a relentless quest for dominance genetically mutate themselves into monstrosities, and have polluted their planet to such extremes that it is covered in a constant cloud of acid rain. This is great for 9+ kids because you get to discuss concepts concerning technology and morality, and allow them to form their own opinions.

Great Game
The CommonSense people who said this game takes light reading live off of bologna. If you take you time and use Samus's (main character) scan visor so you can look at the game objects more closely you can get a good look at lost alien races origins behind the games main story. Also you can read the Space Pirates log books and computer information to get their side of what the are doing to teach you dids that there is know good or bad but a matter of perspective. But what I was gettin at is there is heavy reading in the game if you take your time.

Perfect for anyone if you don't mind some goo.
No gore. No language. No anything. Violence is minimal, playing experience is giant, has a good seventy hours or more of playing time. the only problem is that the bosses are a little creepy, and there is some goop once certain creatures are killed. My favorite Wii game, but that goes without saying.

Perfect for older kids, but not tweens
This game is SO GOOD that I wanted my seven year old son to play it with me or to at least see how the game evolves. But, my wife, along with the recommendations from Common Sense Media, made me ponder on that situation. First there is a problem in how parents say that the violence is just "mild". Mild? Violence happens through out the whole entire game. There is a WHOLE lot of shooting in this game. Looney tunes is a show that does not show gore or bloody scenes yet, we can't say that the vilonce in this show is just "mild". It has more violence and cruelty than a young child should be exposed to. Now, back to the game. When you're not solving puzzles, and not exploring, you're shooting the lights out of bad guys. Now, don't get me wrong, this game is AWESOME,just not for young children. I think that letting 10 year- olds play this is not appropriate. Think about this, letting them play first person shooters like this....how can we say no to grand theft auto and call of duty at thirteen when they are already being allowed to play these kind of games? I almost fell into letting my child play this because I really thought that it had many positive things to it: use of maps, plenty of reading, good story behind it, puzzle solving, but then realized soon after that all these great things can be found in Super mario 64 for the Ds, and above all, is age appropriate. The experts keep on warning that our children are seeing too much violence, but we don't seem to heed their advice. Our children are constantly witnessing acts of violence EVERYWHERE!!! Could it really be that just another game with "mild" violence won't hurt anyone? If they are allowed to play this, are we ABSOLUTELY sure that is the only source of violence they are being exposed to? I hardly think so.

Cussing and Violence
There is major shooting creature violence basically through the whole entire game, which is why the game is rated T. There is also some cussing present, but isn't as serious as the violence.

Phazon enhanced
Way better then others, so don't let the first person shooter scare you off Its fun, but real tricky. Careful around enemies.

The message is that you can't look new with new stuff. In the game, the other three bounty hunters (grandryda, Ghar, Rundas) are later injected with with a substance that makes them more powerful (samus is also affected), but makes them evil later. Therefore, if you do end up playing this, tell your kids about new and cool stuff.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
The Metroid Prime series is truly an amazing series of games. I've played and beaten Metroid Prime 1 and 2 for the GameCube and 3 for the Wii. All three games have stunning graphics, amazing plots, the best female protagonist ever, diverse levels and creatures, and great elements of solving puzzles. This particular installment is on the Wii which means...motion controls!! And let me tell you, this really adds to the game. I definitely recommend this game and series to anyone who enjoys playing video games and is somewhat bright!

Great Gift For a Mature Pre-Teen
This is the third game in the Metroid Prime series and it's by far the best of them all! You take the role of Samus Aran a superhuman female who is protecting people from aliens. In the game there are several puzzles (as standard with Nintendo). The only reason that this would be a concern is the violence and it really is nothing.
