Right now playing through the intro chapter. No real impressions yet.

But does have a lot to scan. Always been a fan of that for some reason.

Did you also get some of those extra perks along with the game like nintendo.com said you're supposed to?

Wasn't one of the first 100 people sadly.

Has no one else bought this game?

Anyhow, I think well so far the game is pretty damn awesome.

The motion controls other than aiming aren't overused but used enough to really improve the game.

May have mentioned this before, but love the grapple lasso/hook that's in the game. Not only is it multipurpose, but it's also fun to use.
Just found a new use for it which won't explain so don't spoil for anybody.

Also interacting with locks and doors again a simple task that's just made a little better with the motion controls. Which other than pointing at the screen and moving forwarrd (which apparently is a motion I just suck at in general or doesn't work in many Wii games) they seem to go off without a hitch or me fighting the controls.

The bosses are huge and so far with the exception of one all pretty kickass.
Some of the mini-bosses are cool, but don't seem as challenging.
And some of the environments are well beautiful I guess.

Probably seen videos of SKytown which looks awesome especially when using a certain feature.

I'm about 20% into the game or so.. I blame work... but it's shaping up to be an excellent game.

I never played through a lot of next gen Metroid because I thought the level design was confusing, but mostlly because I felt the HUD was needlessly over designed. Ther were too many targeting reticles and pops and flashing things and I felt it took away from the beautiful environements they created.

Plus, I'm partially colorblind and all that activity gives me raging headaches. Have they toned the HUD down since then or no?

They made it even more confusing with the addition of a map and stuff.

Haha but you can turn down the opacity of the HUD to the point where can't really see anything.

No kidding, they GIVE you hud opacity and visor opacity options. I personally turn them both down to 50 and even 0 in some places.

Anyways, I got the game, and I'm enjoying the fuck out of it on my new Sharp Aquos. Mmmmm.
