It's the nature of the beast when it comes to flops. I just wish more of these people would ignore games like The Conduit, and instead look at GOOD games like Little Kings Story. I can tell you which one will sell more, and it definitely won't be because it's the better game.

well in defense of the wii well.....you cant really compare the power of the wii to the PS3...thats likesaying a baby couldnt win a fight against andre the giant..we already know its not impressive but come on? its a little lunch box, you cant have your expectations so high
It's a little lunchbox that costs $50 more than the Xbox 360. Wii games are the same price as PC games... Crysis (when it came out ) $50. The Conduit... $50. What magically makes The Conduit exempt from the standards of this generation? I agree. I thought IGN went easy on Conduit. GS gave the game what it deserved.

It's easily better than Moh or Cod WaW on Wii which scored AA.

Wii games dont compete with PS3 or 360, so when a Wii game scores high it doesnt really matter much. The Wii's average says otherwise though, Most Wii games wouldn't score so slow if they weren't compared to the HD console's games. They have to be compared to something, not MS and sony's problem that nintento doesn't know graphics.
4. the controles are a huge deal in FPS, presision is the key - everyone said the conduit has PERFECT controles.
--
to sum it up. PERFECT controles and OK online in a FPS is clearly a 8.0 considering FPS dont offer a bull crap other then that

1. Generic is irrelevant, unlike conduit, Halo is still a game loved by millions of people, and is a AAA franchise, killzone 2 is a great game with suberb visuals, and resistance has **** 60 players man. 2. Online is broken. 3. Bomb, nintendo power said controlls were terrible. From standards that we have, they are just plain terrible.
who are you to tell people what they should and should not like?...does it bother you that much?..if they wanna like ithe game,they have every right to,and quite frankly it's none of your concern
...Me personally,I feel the game looks like crap and as well as being generic,but at the sametime i'm not about to make a lameass thread about other people liking the game,WTF do I care if someone has a different tastes than me?

Oh I'm sorry, were you supposed to be in charge of everyone's opinion? Just because you hate The Conduit doesn't mean everyone else should.

There is a difference between hyping it as AAA GOTY and liking it.
Given the wii's limitations the conduit is a decent game. 7.5-8.0 should have been the score.
The Conduit didn't receive a poor score because of "The Wii's Limitations" (though frankly, why should the Wii be excused from the standards of this generation? It's not free - its games aren't free either) - it received a poor score because it's a generic, dull FPS. Technical limitations didn't stop Mario Galaxy from being a high-scoring, top-selling game - because it was actually FUN. Conduit has solid controls, and *nothing else*. yup, and its funny when a wii game flops all of a sudden gamespot reviews/scores dont matter.

When the scores are good, all the sudden the game being good is fact.

I'll be skipping Conduit, but I already own Little King Story, and well, you're in for a treat when it hits there :) So LKS is good? Very good. One of the best games on the Wii.
Yeah, it was a flop. Although I'm still getting it sometime this week :) I could use a game for my Wii...and I happen to like Sci-Fi FPS games. I'm just going to enjoy the game with lower standards now :P
The game isn't bad, but it isn't all that innovative or different from other shooters. It's problem is that it does everything right by being comprised of everything an FPS should be comprised of, but somewhat fails as a whole because it does just that - provides absolutely nothing that hasn't already been seen or done in other shooters, and essentially just gives Wii owners an average shooter to be happy about.
