There was a bit of hype for this game before it came out. Sadly, I purchased this game after buying into the excitement of its release. I'm sorry to say this game disappoints on almost every level. While this is a decent game for those who have never played a first-person shooter before, it provides no incentive for veterans of the genre. And as far as FPS games on the Wii go, there are better (e.g. Call of Duty: World at War). The Conduit plays out like a game that should've been released 10 years ago. If this game were to have been released on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, it would've been a universal flop. This game simply wouldn't fly, according to the standards set by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the Halo series or Killzone 2 (which have all defined the FPS). Among The Conduit's bad points: The Story - It is the epitome of generic. There is nothing new or that you haven't seen before. The twists are completely anti-climactic and the voice acting is awful and fails to get the player engaged. The Graphics - One of the biggest disappointments, seeing as it was supposedly going to be on par with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I've never seen so many jaggies on the screen. The textures are very bland, and I know the Wii can do so much better. The scenery in the game is dull and boring. Bottom line, this is almost inferior to a PS2 game. The Length - This game is short. Very short. It's got only 10 missions, and all of them are incredibly linear. The Multiplayer - This is more fleshed out than most Wii games, but the lag is distressing and the maps are boring. One good thing is the controls. Using the IR capability of the Wii remote to aim and look has always proved to be preferable to controlling with analog sticks. Still though, the control scheme in Metroid Prime 3 is far more fluid and superior to The Conduit's. What this game comes down to is that it's perfect for an introduction to the genre. Anything beyond that and you'll be disappointed.......
This game is better than I thought. Too bad that weapon accessories does not fit well to Conduit commands. Graphics are better than expected and online experience showed great sync actions Not too great: sometimes when the internet connection is low, online games are stucked in a screen that we can't do any action... nor disconnect, nor leave room. Overall rate: 9......
Don't believe the hype that High Voltage software built up for this Wii exclusive. This is an average - 3-star - game. In fact The Conduit is pretty disappointing, in my opinion. Overall the levels, weapons and bad guys were pretty generic and the story was underwhelming. Also, I found there were too many necessary controls to map it to my Wii Perfect Shot Gun from Nyko, which would have been blast and a half to play with. I purchased this game on day one and sold it within a few weeks. I played the first player campaign only and did not get into the online content. In retrospect it's no wonder Nintendo's first party games sell the best when Sega and other companies are making sub-par, okay at best - games. There's definitely a lot of promise for future first person shooters on the Wii though, especially with the release of The Wii MotionPlus. I'm certainly hoping Nintendo releases a new Wii remote with the Motion Plus system built right in! If you are looking for a good first-person shooter, I would recommend the Metroid Prime Trilogy Collector's Edition, three great games in one package - it's practically Value City! ......
I give it 4 stars, great game for the wii, nintendo needs to reach out to all types of gamers and i think this one does, but co-op would have been nice, over all great game for the wii ......
A quality video game. Worth playing. Works great with the Wii Motion Plus. Great graphics. It is very violent and would not give this to my kid until he or she understand that we are really this dumb and have to kill each other like animals. But I still play, but don't give me a gun after playing this for an hour or so cause I can shoot your for being the former. Wiiiiiiii......
