Gamer's Intuition: The Conduit Review

13
From the review: "The most hardcore of Wii owners have been begging for an equally hardcore Wii FPS experience for years, and while The Conduit does offer FPS gameplay (including 12-player, Wii Speak compatible multiplayer), it is in no way the beacon of light we were all hoping for."

1 - I rented this game
and so far I'm very unimpressed with it. The graphics and control are excellent, but the gameplay is another story. The AI is pathetic, the difficulty is uneven (either too easy or too hard), and is just generally underwhelming.

Although I've only been playing it for about 3 hours, so my opinion could still change...

Looks just fine to me. SOrry but you'd have to be an idiot to confuse it with Golden Eye. So yeah you get to trash a game on a console you dont own but in the process you make yourself look like a moron to anyone that actually played the game.

Well, personally I just think people have been unfair on the game so far. The media seems to expect it to look like KZ2 and have physics to match-which it just can't do. However, THEN they don't mark it up for the controls-surely the thing a Wii shooter has over other platforms or even the fact that they seem to have got every aspect of the package working pretty well including a near lag free mp which, on the Wii hasn't been even appraoched before.

The Conduit does all the "vanilla" stuff and more which is all it needed to as nothing else on it's platfornm yet does-the bells and whistles can come with later releases or even sequels but the expectations on the game have been unrealistic to say the least-noone even expects PS360 FPS games to shine the way this is "supposed" to. Jeez, HVS took a chance and this is their first real punt-they moved the genre in their platform forwards a good deal so why should we moan so much?

If im not mistaken Redsteel 2 will also include customizable controls.
If more developers start doing this then HVS has set the standard for controls on the Wii. For their first real effort...i say did an awesome job =).

Go online and we will hand you your a$$...LOL Well maybe not me but look up any one from AZN. The game rocks and it is a classic shooter. It was made for FSP fans not story book people, Example quake 3 fans and counter strike.

The online will make you take the control tweaking very serious as some people can control the game almost PC level FPS like which is pretty impressive.

The graphics get the job done and the game is a blast.

2 - here is the video i was talking about
http://www.youtube.com/watc... maybe i exaggerated with the N64 graphics, but this game looks and plays worst looking than HALO 2 on XBOX, sometimes it looks like perfect dark for N64. im not trolling, i'm just saying the truth with a video to prove it.......seferoth75 the only moron here is you and your boyfriend SIDAR for owning a kiddie console only. if you need to see what real next-gen graphics and physics it's all about you need a PS360..... other than that you and him are still in the little leagues

KILLA J you do realize all console are seen as toys right? No console is in the high end electronics nore the PC section.

I mean it's pretty embarrassing to tell you this, it like explaining you might be gay after doing certain acts with a man LOL.

Seriously if you think the game sucks the best thing you can do is not post here because most people that play this online are hooked. It's different than any other FPS right now and for a minute they all sort of ran together for me.

If you don't like the Wii mote then say so it will take practice hey but so did the mouse... which I love and analogs... which I hate.

On top of that after seeing the new halo reach I fell HVS is a release away from getting to that level LOL. Hell metroid 3 looked better than that game. Halo reached looked worst than res evil 4 on the Wii in some spots. I though I should share that with you since you needed to bring it up.

@ mastiffchild While I do respect your opinion (please don't think I'm attacking you here), I do think that I gave the game a pretty fair shot. I'm not the type of person who will compare The Conduit to something like KZ2, because I KNOW that the Wii would never be able to have graphics like the PS3 can. That being the case, the graphics here (at least when speaking of the backgrounds which are repetitive and quite bland) are really lackluster.

And yes, while the ability to change the control mapping is a nice one, I still think the camera system and the melle attacks here are far from perfect (with melee attacks causing the camera to go wonky). If those two issues had turned out better, the game's underwhelming story (again, this is all imho) would have been better to handle. But, as it stands, I was just wholly disappointed with the package, with my review reflecting such.

You can simply configure melee to a button.

But my point is that the motion-controlled option SHOULD work the way I want it to (and the way it was designed to).
