I agree entirely with this review, and the "you should look to another console for high quality fps gaming" mentality in the comments is disappointing. Epic shooters have been made on hardware far worse than the Wii. There's nothing in Nintendo's documents that states "No AAA fps games, please".
I realise that The Conduit series never intended to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bioshock or Call of Duty or maybe even Halo, but they could have at least had some great ideas and an execution that rised above anything that could've been made in the early 2000s.
For me, another disappointment, but I'll continue supporting this game/developer with my money because they're one of the only ones who still seem to give a crap anymore.
@shinesprite God I bought that and was a little disappointed at how barebones that was. No online, only Singleplayer or VS CPU, no extras whatsoever. Extremely minimal.
It's pretty innovative overall, but the camera's limitations are apparent from the get go. And I gave my mum a go at this game and she found it a bit difficult! I mean, one of the first things you have to find (Cinderella's carriage,) is quite tricky to line-up!
I'll be buying this based on their ambition alone. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to get head tracking to work with the camera/processing quality of the DSi in the first place. I guess I'll just have to spotlight my face with a lamp!
You gotta hand it to Ubisoft. For every crappy, half-basked, shovelware game they publish, they do put their resources into several good quality Wii specific titles.
Flash is a processor and memory hog and requires a huge code library to run. You may have noticed it's not even on the iPhone? That's because even Steve Jobs believes it will bring down the performance of it's hardware.
Since it has trouble running on hardware that is 10 or 50 times more powerful than the DSi, what makes you all think it would be able to run it?
I love Nnooo! They're doing what Nintendo should've done when the DSi launched in the first place by bringing out apps that help make the DS useful outside of gaming.

Re: TT Games: "Disney Universe Rips Us Off"
I was actually thinking The Sims. Either way it doesn't strike me as vvery original, but then again, what does?
Some concepts are here to stay.

Re: Rytmik: Rock Edition Just 200 Points in North America
She's not Summer Glau She's probably just some random stock photography model.
Great interface on this thing. Might give it a buy.

This looks much more fun and worth the points.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November 2010 (Europe)
Aww where's Tetris Party Live!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd November 2010 (North America)

Re: WiiWare Gets Second Round of Heavy Fire with Black Arms
Looks like a great indie effort!
Re: Jam City Rollergirls Screens and Video Skate In
oh noes! no shadows!
but seriously this looks like a great mashup between Mario Kart, Road Rash and Gamecube era nostalgia.
Re: Review: Pearl Harbor Trilogy - 1941: Red Sun Rising (WiiWare)
Looks like a bargain!

Re: Face Pilot: Fly With Your Nintendo DSi Camera!
Wow, HAL Laboratory! I'll buy this later. Thanks for the info Homer.

Re: And Gods vs Humans Said, "Let There Be Screenshots"
The art style is amazing! I can't wait to see it in motion. So much cleaner than My Life as a Darklord.

You had me at "monkeys"
Re: Review: Kung Fu Funk (WiiWare)
Wow. Stickmen Studios - one to avoid.
Re: PC Indie Games Compilation Coming to DSiWare in Earnest
Sleep Is Death would be the best DSiWare game ever. Someone please port it! I'd happily pay 800 points.
Re: Jett Rocket Trailer Melts Your Face with Graphical Afterburners
Haha, looks fantastic, but along with Flips: Twisted World, this looks like it is the Wii's Gianna Sisters.
Re: New Jett Rocket Shots Blast Off
D'aww. this looks adorable. Shin'en really utilise Nintendo hardware well. Day 1 purchase for moi!
Re: Review: Nintendo DSi Metronome (DSiWare)
Apps like this make me wish there was a 100 point category also. Or they could've bundled this in with the tuner.
Re: Review: Photo Dojo (DSiWare)
I was iffy on this if it was going to be 500 points but at 200? SOLD!
Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
If this doesn't get one star, what in the world would!?
p.s. Does anyone know how to get past level 100?

Re: 3D Motion Gaming Debuts on the DSi
I'm surprised at how smooth it actually works. I'd happily pay 1000 points for this if there was a healthy amount of content.
