I picked this up on the Wii almost 2 years ago, taking a break from the PS3 i decided to pick this up thinking it would be fun. While it has been fun to a certain extent, it hasn't quite hooked me yet and i'm about 2/3 of the way through (i think? i just entered the Mines and acquired the Super Bomb just now).

The game is not bad, but i just find the constant back tracking to be painfully dull...i just want to get going to the meaty part, not run around to see where the heck i can use that new ability i got
The lack of any cutscenes and stuff has kinda killed the experience for me a little bit too, reading the logs was a little fun at first, now i'm just skipping them.

Is Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 just more of the same?
