Who's having fun with The Conduit?

NintendoDpad:
"Only a week old, The Conduit is already building a nice community online. Interestingly enough many review sites are actually giving this game bad scores and reviews (Gamepro, Edge, etc.). Although for the many who are enjoying this title neither a score nor a review can take away the fact that The Conduit is actually a great online fps on Wii."

Having a blast. For being so new this game actually has a load of gamers playing online. Good ones too.

Most reviewers have missed the pont HVS were trying to make. They knew they were basically filling a void and NOT competing with KZ2 or Halo-and they seem to have done this by conquering the Wii Connect service and providing a few decent modes online.

WaW had bad connection issues yet even as the poor relation of the HD game that sold pretty well so it was pretty likely that as long as The Conduit worked pretty well it would get a good community going-hell even MoH did!

1.2 - Honestly, I'm not enjoying it all that much...
I bought the game on day one, and the single player is so annoying. There is nothing fun about it. Thankfully, I don't feel the same way about online. That is the main reason I'm keeping the game, rather than selling it on eBay. Online is a little laggy, but also very VERY fun =)

I think the reason that reviews seems to miss the point was because the conduit dev was claiming that the game will have graphic "similar to games on PS3 or 360" (hint KZ2 or Halo) that's why reviewers seems to be reacting that way.

The developer never made those claims. They delivered on their real claim which was to use effects so far only seen in 360/PS3 titles. Game looks great for a Wii game and IMO comes close to some first gen 360 games in many ways. Granted the Wii will never do PS3/360 but nobody ever said it would either.

3 - I like it
Its a throwback game. Reminds me of Perfect Dark and Goldeneye only with great online and amazing controls. I can see why some reviews are giving the game bad scores but thats ok. That doesn't mean is a bad game. The sequel should be much better HVS can learn from their mistakes. I think The Conduit is cool im really enjoying going through the single player gettin all the achievements and hittin up online for some ASE football. Overall i would give this game around a 7-8 score which is solid and something to build on for The Conduit 2

4 - Online is challenging
I thought online would be easier than it is. Man, it's tough. Lots of fun and fast paced. I think there is a divide with gamers on this game just like it was when the Wii first launched (during Wii Sports). The critics get overly critical and just don't know how to have fun and enjoy the game. I'm surprised at the amount of poorly reported features on a lot of the reviews. It's definitely the most fun I've had on the Wii system since I got it in 2006.

5 - Well
Most fun since 2006? what, ... did you Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart. IMO those games are all more fun. But The Conduit is still cool.

8.2 - I must say your opinion
is WRONG one.
I can't believe some people still do that! Basicly they're comparing the first Halo (Combat Evolved) to games like this since they just mention "halo". And may I ask you whether you've actually played "halo" or any of it's successors? I've played Halo 1 on PC and Halo 3 on 360 borrowed from a friend (I only own a PS3) and I must say that Halo as a franchise is an iconic, a masterful one.

I like motion controls and especially the pointer on the Wii (I once owned a Wii) so yeah; It probably contols better, though ;)

Yes I love the game but like I mentioned in another post somewhere, why is there no lobby to meet up with your friends before launching into matches? I Skyped up with 3 of my team mates and we never got to play together. Funny thing: I tried a CoD:WaW online match the other night and kept trying to chunk a grenade with the nunchuk...funny to me I as I have it set to +.

Hey I believe you have to make this or start your own server. I just like meeting up with some of the good players randomly though. If you guys played a lot of mario kart you can see that is partly what made it so much fun plus they fixed team stacking which happens in all the other FPS games.

Well some people will get into a groove yet it is harder to get rank if you suck though.

Another thing is I was hesitant to be aggressive with my bounding box but I made it the smallest it could be and man I'm a lot more deadlier since it plays more like a PC FPS now with out the mouse catting or scrubbing.

This has to be the best console shooter out for me right now. Notice I said for me, I don't claim to know what others want yet if you are still playing any of the real hardcore FPS then we just found you another one. There are no gimmicks in this game just FPS action and game play. So far every thing works.

It Is awesome. I barely touched the singleplayer until recent other then to tweak and learn the controls. It is a blast. and it's nice to play buddies with voice chat too.. that worked far better then expected.

I may just buy voice chat for this game. I'm still having fun with it and the servers are pretty much always full. I also found some more secrets with the different guns.

If you truly do like FPS then you'll love this game yet if you see FPS as a single player type game then all the fluff that is needed to make those games fun is gone. This is the first console game that tried to do what quake 3 did... make FPS online game play hardcore... they did a brilliant job at it to.

If id had the same idea and business since they would have brought quake 3 to the wii by now. Hey they just got bought out so why would they do that?

16 - @ Downtown boogey
So how is it a wrong opinion?
i sit down and play halo 3, i have a lot of fun.
i sit down and play the conduit, i have a lot of fun
i feel i had more fun playing the conduit than i did playing halo, therefore in my opinion, conduit is better than halo >_> or is simple logic too much for someone who hasn't even played the game?

I hadn't played FPS much since Prime 3 and Bioshock, so I've been playing through the single player, trying to sharpen up a bit.

Went online for the first time tonight, and JEEZ there are some tough gamers playing. Best I did so far was 4th in ASE football.

Its definintely a gamers game. Multiplayer is crack. There is just something satisfying about nailing a shotgun head shot.
