I guess you didn't read the OP's link. The Conduit proves that no matter how good of controls you have, you still have to have a good game around them for it to be worth playing.

and as i stated before i dont care what people think. i dont need to read a joystick link to know what my opioion is thank you very much. an opioion is not fact. Just cause they guy says this dosent make it true.

neither are the controls are fact, a lot of people like the ps3/360 controller more than the wiimote just opinions

The only reason that this game is getting any hype at all is because it's on the Wii, which, in terms of first-person shooters, has Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes 2. That's about it. And so people who only own a Wii out of all three consoles are getting really excited because they're getting a mainstream, traditional FPS, minus the traditional controls, of course. If this were coming out on the PS3 or the 360 nobody would give a crap.

If you don't care what people think... then why are you defending the game, and with such an illogical argument?

Your opinion (not to mention the opinions of anyone else here who isn't a game journalist) doesn't carry nearly as much weight as the Joystiq writer's, since you haven't played Conduit and he has.

If MoH:H2 can pull a 8/10 and CoD:WaW can pull an 8.5/10 on the Wii, I can see this getting no less, my opinion on the matter.

As long as it ranks 6 or higher on GS, I'll go and buy it.

As for the controls debate... no, controls don't make the game. BUT seeing as that was one of the reviewer's chief complaints with the title, don't you think that it may actually have an impact in this instance?

Why are people so eager to see everything on the Wii flop? It seems worse than normal tonight.

And, I didn't see it mentioned in the article (I wasn't reading it THAT closely...) but did he use WiiMotionPlus or the current WiiMotes when he played?

It's an FPS with motion controls. A gimmick is something that doesn't really make the gameplay better, like Mii integration.

I don't think it makes it any better 0_o. Pressing a key to throw a nade is much more responsive then waving the nunchuck. I'm sure the game will work as an FPS with motion controls, but that's about it.

Looking at high voltage software's past of making a large, large amounts of 40%-80% av rated games, the conduit is going to be no diffrent.

The story, characters, game mechanics are pretty generic(imo).

but its gfx is good. FOR THE WII. Even if it does look like a 2002 PC fps.

I don't see why people even hyped this game. It shouldn't get a break from everybody because of “wii standards”. It looks downright horrible compared to other FPS. If we're gonna give Wii games a break because of “Wii standards” then we shouldn't even call the Wii a 7th gen system. I don't see anybody giving the PS3 a break because that started a year late ya know. I hope everybody smashes Conduit for the horrible crap it is.
