Thoughts on Metroid Prime 3

I picked up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption over the weekend, and I'm about a quarter of the way into it. So far I think it's amazing, and I still haven't found anything that I don't like about it, except maybe the lack of multiplayer. I think it's much better than MP2, and at least as good as the original Prime game. Did anyone else get it yet? I can't wait to see how they wrap things up with it.

I want to get this game to try out the controls but I haven't played the first two. Should I play the first two first or go ahead and get this game?

Get all three.

There's already quite an abundant thread on Metroid Prime 3 on the first page.
