I got a chance to rent it over the weekend. I played it for about a total of three hours, then took it out of the Wii and put it back in its case to be returned early.
Basically, the game didn't rope me in. I just didn't care about having to fix Aurora Units or working with other Hunters and other what nots. I tried going in with an open mind but I seem to have difficulty getting into the Metroid Prime series. The first I literally had to force myself to forge on, just to see what all the hub bub was. After getting the Space Jump things changed for the better and it finished off pretty well. MP2 just felt like work and after nine hours I couldn't stand playing it anymore. MP3 to me seems like a combo of a poor man's Halo that now has "30% more Metroid!" in it. The early puzzles (like the morph ball segments on the first planet and Bryyo) to me seemed a bit tacked on, making me wonder "why is this here? Did the inhabitants roll into balls to open up segments of their domain?"
Bottom line was it just wasn't fun for me.
