Some place impossible emphasis on individual events, while others are more rational and logical. Case in point, The Conduit, High Voltage Software's much-publicized First Person Shooter for the Wii. For some, the game would immediately end the doubt third parties at one point had with regard to putting their 'traditional games' on the Wii, while others immediately labeled it 'generic' and 'bland' and walked away. So, which is it?"
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.
