Not that I'd complain if it discouraged them, as their upcoming games look much, much worse, but reviews are not good indicators of what will sell on Wii. Just ask the Little King.

They should try to make some good platformers, like RARE did, instead of focusing on one type of game. I would buy one of those in a second.

One type of game? Not only are they making the most innovative first-person shooters ever, but they are also working on that Gladiator game which features such exciting moves as:

  • Dodge right!
  • Dodge left!
  • Attack!

On an off topic note, the Gamespot video review of the Conduit made me hate the game and everything in general.

The hate got to you too?

Yeah I went out and kicked my neighbor's kitten.

the story looks so good that this video game needs to become a movie this looks like if it was a movie it would be a box office hit

This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade. And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

aarrragggghhhh HVS prolly isn't gonna even try for wii anymore, the reception is probably really discouraging them

I'd say that Gamespot is to journalism as an inner city White Castle is to fine cuisine, but that would be an insult to inner city White Castles everywhere.

Hey guy, here are my views on the conduit:
From my point of view, the game is very good for HVS FIRST project. The graphics and controls are very good, the guns and sound effects are also superb. However, the enemies are a lot of the same and the tactics is always the same in most levels, meaning even tho theres new environments, you still can just approach them by going in rambo style and just shooting everything down a usually straightforward hallway or cubical room (the main idea for all the environments in a nutshell).

To me, if this had been their 5th or 6th project for wii (not counting wiiware) then this game might not cut it, but for HVS' first time i think its a very good effort, and since there is a conduit 2 apparently in the works, if HVS uses the advice received and adds local multiplayer, i think their 2nd game could really be a sell out SO don't miss out on getting the first in order to understand the 2nd. Maybe rent it first tho sine its only online which u dont like and the story is less than 10 hours. I bought it just to support hardcore FPS' on wii cuz we really need more games like this for hardcores that also use a good graphics engine. Hope any of this ramble helped you! Sorry for making it so long lol.

Not to be contrary to my review up there, i stand by it, but i have a dilemma now. Ive already beaten this in less than a week (its only 6 hours long! WTH?) and online isnt as much my thing as offline is (reason why CoD and Moh2 heroes arent really seeing more play time) so now im thinking is it a smart idea to cash in on my one week satisfaction return policy for EB games to bring back my conduit since ive beaten it in less than a week (tomoro would be the full week) so i can get tiger woods with a free motion plus, a game with replay value (its golf, and its offline and online at the same time), or should i keep the conduit (will i regret giving it away?) what would you do if you were me with the given situation?

that's not a bad idea, but would the store let u return it if it's been opened and there aren't any defects with it?

I never done it before, but i thot it was a one week guarantee before the value is lost? Isnt that how it works for your games? One week satisfaction guarantee, im just assuming what would seem to make sense to me...

How good is this game? I'm considering getting it, but the reviews are putting me off. I want a good FPS with a good storyline and good offline multiplayer.

The story sucks and there is no offline multiplayer.

I hope that helps.

I am not getting this game then. Wow they totally set me up for dissapointment!

Ummm, not totally, id like to tell u that James bond quantum of solace is james bond, so altho the story is predictable, its a first person shooter with 4 player offline and online play, the offline is amazing for birthday parties with like 4 people or more, i love it, flush the reviews down the toilet cuz this game is really good for offline u can even take cover and enter third person

I know, my friend has it. I wouldn't buy it though, it had some minor flaws and it was really short.

o, u want it for single player, ok then definitely dont buy it, for multiplayer tho it has no lag from single player and no framerate drops, the closest thing to splitscreen CoD u will find on this console

If you are talking about World at War, I'm only 14! Can't buy M rated games, and every game I get I have to buy, unless the obvious reasons of course.

No...thats not what im saying, im saying for FPS' on wii, QoS is the only splitscreen local one up to 4 players (rated T, has no blood) that is capable of providing the fun of halo or w/e fps on other systems when u play with friends. The fact that it is online AND offline is sweet! I really think outside of the single player, this game is amazingly fun local play, 10 classes to choose from, weapons galore, third person cover, all of that and more!
