10 Most Criminally Underrated Games Of The Last Generation
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Lets face it, while the Wii had some great games, many of them were buried under piles of mini game collections, shovelware and Wii Fit knock offs, and Metroid Prime 3 was one of those sadly neglected games. Continuing the Prime series staple of eerie isolation, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has a sense of atmosphere that still makes it feel like an entirely unique take on the first person shooter. The games haunting locales and great use of minimal story set it apart from its contemporaries and make it a highly enjoyable and refreshing experience from start to finish. The tight gameplay combined with some great pointer controls, gave us a glimpse into what could have been a glorious Wiimote FPS future. Sadly that was a future that never materialised. This game was not only the best shooter on the Wii, but one of the best FPSs of the generation, and if you have a Wii U or an old Wii lying around, you owe it to yourself to play through this forgotten classic.
