Although first-person shooters seemed a perfect fit for the Wii's unique point-and-fire input, the majority of FPS titles on the system have been disappointing. Ubisoft's Red Steel was one of the most-anticipated launch titles, and while it sold well, it was savaged by critics. Things have been getting better, however, as Call of Duty 3 received higher scores and Metroid Prime: Corruption was considered by many to be one of 2007's best Wii games. This holiday, gamers might be seeing the FPS genre hitting its stride with the release of the new, more precise Wiimote technology and The Conduit, the latest title from developer High Voltage.
Spiffy:
Impressive visuals; responsive controls; wide range of weapons; intriguing storyline.
Iffy:
Controls still need to be fine-tuned a bit; how will the online multiplayer work?
There’s a consensus about Splatoon 1 that cannot be disputed: motion controls are the way to play. The Wii U Gamepad had its many problems on the system as a whole, but along with the way in which the touch screen was implemented in the first game like I mentioned in my last piece, using the Gamepad’s gyroscope was deemed a superior way to play compared to traditional joystick control.
Rustyshell.com: The Conduit strived to be the quality FPS experience Wii owners were missing out on, with quality graphics and a robust online multiplayer component.
Hardcore Gamer: The Conduit was an interesting first-person shooter that sneaked its way onto the Wii amid a deluge of shovelware and "family" games.
That they are using all the latest technologies and all.....
graphics still suck......they might be good for Wii, but they arent that good.
The game also looks like just another FPS. But we would have to wait for the reviews.
I hate it when Microsoft and Sony fanboys get mad when the wii gets a good game that they wont get and start calling it crap and saying stuff like it wont amount to anything.
