And we're done.
Funnily enough there's actually quite a bit of Metroid talk spread throughout the podcast. The main impressions I got from it is that it is at least as good as Metroid Prime 1 and definitely better than Metroid Prime 2. It's definitely a visuals step above Echoes. The controls work very well and offer a level of precision unmatched on Wii. It's very atmospheric and even contains some scary moments. All in all, it's just awesome.

So
It scored "around" Bioshock
It's better than Echoes
Matt said, if he could re-rate Echoes today, he'd give it a 9.3 So that means Prime 3 will get anywhere from a 9.4 to a 9.8. I personally don't see it doing better than Bioshock, so I'll say 9.6.

This is so typical of the kind of shit Matt keeps going on about. There's is no concievable way to make Mario Kart more casual. We've seen DS tracks in it, so the level design can't be simpler. We've seen the tracks have more slopes so it's not being made easier. The motion control alone doesn't make the game casual.
The reason Matt keeps talking about "Mature" games is because the kind of people making them are Z level developers that want attention from IGN because no publisher will touch their game.

They said madden 08 would score slightly higher than 07, and then gave it the same score. I bet Prime 3 gets a 9.7.

Matt and Mark prefer Metroid Prime 3 to Metroid Prime 1.
I doubt it'll get a 9.8 though.

The control. They are probably talking about how you just use the "racing wheel" to control. Maybe you can't even use the GC controllers or the Wiimote for this one. That would kinda suck.

I very much doubt you'll be able to use the Gamecube controller. Excite Truck was a better game for it's controls, and hopefully Mario Kart Wii will too. If they add the tilting back and forth from Excite Truck to affect corners it could make the game feel a little different.

That's excellent. The "scary moments" are some of the best parts of Metroid games. The room with the statues of the bosses and the rooms in Tourian with husks of shriveled enemies (courtesy of the hatchling) were probably the scariest moments in Super Metroid. The space pirate colony (the very beginning of the game) was probably the scariest moment in Metroid Prime.

Agreed.
I remember a moment in Metroid Prime when you're in Chozo ruins and heading towards the Sunchamber, and you see a Chozo Ghost for the same time. The hallway darkens and you see the ghost a few metres in front of you, and it disappears after a second. That scared me heaps.
