so should i play the others first or just buy 3

I think you should be just fine with Metroid 3, but I would suggest that you play the first two to learn the background to the series.

Go ahead straight to Metroid Prime 3, I wasn't a fan of the side scroller series and the only prime game I played with the first (I can't stand the game cube controller.) so I jumped into Prime 3 with almost no metroid knowledge and I loved the game. The plot never confused me.

I do recommend watching the gametrailers.com metroid retrospective it will fill you in not only on what you missed in the first two primes but who exactly this Samus person is, and where she's been and where's she's going.

buy them all. play them all. you won't regret it.

They are all great games that is for sure.
But please post in the proper section.

*gasp* when i saw the title i flipped out but yeah it will be fine if u play 3rd first

My girlfriend likes tennis, Tiger Woods 08 and Zelda. She's pretty good at tennis and acceptable in the other two. When she looks at MP3 she thinks it's too hard for her and it does appear daunting at first. If, on the other hand, you've played and liked games like resident evil 4 then get it without question.

Anyone who has had a lot of PC FPS experience will take to this game no problem. The great thing about it is that I never liked FPS games on consoles because the mouse and keyboard is so much better than the typical console controller. Wii has of coursed changed all of that. The Wiimote is so natural felling that I really love it. Not perfect by getting there.

n00b!

Hey, don't worry, Bud! The only other metroid game I played was Metroid Fusion.. I beat that one, but that was the ONLY one I played all the way--- hell.. even PLAYED.

I play Metroid Prime 3 today, and the plot isn't confusing to me.

Get a life.

i agree.

buy them all buy a stratigy guide if your brain hurts (i know mine did) and enjoy!
