I just picked this up today after a Monday of fruitless searching. This is the first Wii game I've purchased since Zelda :O
I am really impressed with everything so far, especially the controls and the graphics. The Z targeting mechanic works well along with the free aiming, and grabbing and ripping off enemy shields with the grappling beam/nunchuk feels very natural. This puts Metroid above Call of Duty, then Red Steel for top FPS controls on the Wii.
I prefer using the standard control setting instead of advanced. Standard lets you aim inside the central screen area before the view moves around, whereas advanced will jerk the view with your slightest movement - that gave me a headache after an hour of play.
Even though I wish they had included an online multiplayer mode (simple deathmatch would've sufficed), there are some neat online features using WiiConnect24. I haven't figured out exactly how it works yet, all I know is that Genexi2 sent me a friend voucher and I need to send him one back (I will when I find one!) I think trading the vouchers allows you to unlock the artwork and other extras.
The main extra for me will be the hyper difficulty mode that's unlocked upon completion. Sometimes I think that the Prime series is a bit too easy, so it will be fun to replay it in hard mode for a real challenge.
This game, along with Smash Brothers and Mario Galaxy are the sole reason I purchased a Wii. If those two turn out to be as good as Corruption, I'll have gotten my moneys worth :)
