I find it meh personally. Probably because I'm spoiled from 360 FPS. I just hate how it takes nearly a clip to kill in online. And I find the campaign average. 6/10 from me (Remember: 6 is average not bad).

Nope, I like it. But I haven't been ruined by other FPS, or other systems for that matter.
Confused about your terms though - ask if anyone else dislikes it, implying you do. Then you say it's "meh," then conclude by saying it's not bad.

I don't dislike the game, persay. But I was a little miffed that the difficulty sky-rocketed at the end of the third mission, for me at least. I died about 17 times before giving up for the day and I haven't played since. (Which was a week ago today)

Overall, it's a fun game. I just need to give it more time.

The online HP irks me too... The single player is EPIC though! You really need to use tactics to get past the ruthless AI.

Dezner, don't give up. Embarassing as it is, I'll admit that it took me hours across several attempts to get passed that Jefferson Memorial segment. I'm proud though that I finally did it without lowering the difficulty level.
(Shoots Chicken Brutus a smirk.)
Keep moving and keep blasting - you'll get it eventually, and it's very gratifying when you do. Find all the health kits, there are more than the three obvious ones.
Regarding the health though, here's something weird that I found: I have two player profiles. On one of them, whenever I died in this segment, all the health was respawned where it should be, regardless of whether I used it or not. On the other, when I died, whatever health I used before I got killed was GONE. FOR. GOOD. So there's no chance in hell I'll ever beat that segment with that profile.

Yea that Memorial segment can be brutal. Took me a good 10 tries or so to get through. It being brutal has a part in the story though. Just keep gunning fools down, use the alien weapon and as soon as you can lob nades at the conduits. Duck behind anything you can find when you need to reload, and don't be afraid to whack a dude in the face.

I had that same problem with the health packs...they never came back! That's why I ended up lowering the difficulty. I don't feel so bad now.

Is this a glitch? Or is it some kind of think like RE4 where it decides what you get, and when?

Certain enemies drop health packs when you kill them. My checkpoint save was probably 50% full so I would start at a disadvantage. I'm hardcore though. pew pew pew

No no, this isn't health that the baddies drop, this is the full-blown health kits. Chicken Brutus, ok, that's respectable now.

The game where the health kits do NOT respawn is in my first save slot.
My second save slot is blank.
The game where the health kits DO respawn is in my third save slot.

Both are set to the normal difficulty. There was NO WAY in hell I'd have beaten that round without the health. It makes no sense if you can't do it with ALL the health on the initial try, that they would make it even harder by taking away your health on the retries.

Yeah, it must be a glitch, then. It's happened in other places, too (I'll backtrack knowing I'm about to die, but the health pack that was there last time is gone now), but usually those I can tough out without too much trouble.

The siege at the Jefferson Memorial is pretty near impossible to tough out without topping up your health! Man. What a sucky glitch.

Wow - if this is indeed a glitch then that's pretty messed up. It could seriously impact players' experience - just look at Dezner. Damn.

I never experienced, or noticed it if I did that. Once you beat the memorial your suit regens health, so sometimes I just hold my position until it regenerates.

@Vendetta: I dislike it. "Meh" means boring or average to me. And for the final part about the scoring, For me to "like" a game, I personally must give it a , which means good.

Conduit nowhere near lived up to it's hype. The campaign gets really hard sometimes though. The memorial part drove me mad. I just lowered the difficulty

It sucks so much. All first person shooters on the wii suck. The multiplayer takes forever. The story is average.

FOR THOSE OF YOU who want an fps that takes a normal amount of time to kill someone consistently (like really short...1 headshot kill from any weapon, shotgun kill, 3-5 bullets in a smg to kill) then look to Call of Duty 5 WaW for wii,i have both games and to compare id say CoD WaW has more realistic/fair online whereas conduit has more cool looking weapons. I'd still give CoD the edge but i do find conduit fun still.

I've not played it so can't comment if I dislike it or not, but I've just been so surprised at people raving how awesome the graphics are. I thought I was going crazy thinking they just looked average when everyone else raving about them. I think people just thought the graphics were great because they weren't cartoony - but there's a ton of GameCube games that beat it in the graphics department. The Wii is just not getting pushed - we're probably going to have to wait for Nintendo's next batch of "hardcore" titles before we're really wowed in the graphics department with the Wii.

@DaDun: The only FPS series I will play online is CoD actually, because it's exactly what I want. I'll occasionally play Halo matchmaking with my friends (vehicles are so fun ). The Conduits campaign is decent, but thats it: decent. And multiplayer is the most important part of an FPS, and the Conduits is slow, boring, and unspecific (if I wanna play Bounty Hunter then let me dammit!).

@madgear: It's the style. It's the closest thing to Unreal we'll get on the Wii. I don't care personally, I'll take Mario Galaxy of Gears graphics anyday.

Nope I like the game for the most part I just dislike the online glitch but if High Voltage can fix that portion either with a firmware update or through the server like NintendoLife reported today I would raise my rating from a 6 to a 8
