It is true, for a next generation game, The Conduit is no where near as graphically impressive as Playstation 3 and XBox 360 titles. But for a Wii title, the game actually looks very good and it is on par with other great looking Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers. It isnt everyday where a graphically impressive Wii game is released, 07 had Galaxy, 08 had Brawl and I guess 09 has The Conduit.

Although this is just my opinion and Im sure you have your own...lets hear it

I own a Wii and I think its ugly. Its ultra florescent and not appealing. I don't understand the hype around its visuals.

No, it doesn't. I personally think Prime 3 looks better. At least Corruption has art direction as well as technical proficiency.

I agree with you, I'm trying to tell the others, but since the game doesn't have blood and guns, it's near impossible to convince them.

I completely agree. And hell, Haziq is the first one to defend the Wii around here so that says a lot. No offense, Haziq. :P

Pretty much. AND, it only runs at 30fps. Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy both ran at 60fps, managing to look better in the process as well!:o

No. It's extemely disgusting. Even by Wii standards.

MP3: Corruption combined excellent Wii standard graphics and Wii controls. There's absolutely no excuse for everything that's been done (so far) on The Conduit.

Hell, games last gen, like Black, MP, MP2, Doom 3 (Xbox), HL2 (Xbox), Halo, Halo 2, Chronicles of Riddick EFBB, all look better.

I admire their effort to bring photorealism to the Wii.. but I really believe if they used their pretty impressive engine on a more Wii-friendly art-style, that this game could look beautiful.

Instead it looks like last gen photorealism tech, which is unfortunate because it makes it look worse when you have games like Halo and Killzone on the market:-/

Its game design looks bland. Simple as that really. There is a huge amount of potential going to waste.

Honestly, I have no idea why this game gets any praise at all for its graphics. Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars looks a million times better in times of graphics. Mushroom Men is also a decent game, which is better than the vibe I'm getting from The Conduit...

Does Killzone 2 have bad textures and art direction? I hadn't really noticed.

To anyone blaming it's "art direction" being "bad" I just would say that IMHO should follow after. After all, art is subjective, and the art style IMHO isn't bad. It's not something I favor over say... Metroid Prime 3, or maybe find them as something that can immerse me like say KZ 2's direction, but frankly... I don't think we can call it "bad" as a fact. I think frankly the art direction is ok. Nothing I consider a masterpiece, but still it has some imagination to it I think. (And before we go the aliens look bland and boring" I don't see it that way frankly. Anyways, this game to me isn't something I'm truely getting hyped up for. It's something I'll watch and maybe try, but not sure if I'd buy it....

It's like some people only live to hate on The Conduit, like there's some kind of agenda against it. I've never seen more ridiculous negative hype for a game before in my life. Did this game kill someone you love? Did it get you fired from your job or forclose on your home? It's a game people. If you don't like it, that's fine, but the geniuine hate is creepy. There are much better things to do in life than to be angry at a game.

For those that think Metroid Prime 3 is a better looking game than The Conduit is....

Not the best quality vids, but that affects both games.

Actually i don't agree at all, it is one of the worst looking games i have ever seen, even for Wii or GC, i like games like Zelda WW, TP, Mario etc a million times more than that

It's technically proficient sure, but it still looks ugly as all hell. The art direction is terrible, one of the worst I've ever seen.

I think the engine shows a lot of promise in what it can do, but the game itself looks bland and generic. However, I think someone should pick up this engine and do a Counter Strike port (original, not the Source engine version), as I think the engine and the Wii could handle FPS ports from the early 2000's, like CS, DoD, HL1, etc.. If this were to happen, I would actually consider buying a Wii. That said, Conduit doesn't hold my interest.

The Wii can handle the Source Engine :| Infact, Valve already ported it to the Wii I believe.

It's hardly impressive; even for Wii standards. There needs to be more hype for Murumasa and Little King's Story and not this generic shooter.

Thats really cool. If thats the case, then why are they making a big deal about this engine then?? Source wipes the floor with this. Bring on the HL mod ports!!!

If theres one game worth hyping for graphics which is developed by 3rd party its Monster Hunter 3. Conduit looks alright but i hope its plays brilliantly.

Its far from great, but for once I'm actually getting a little interested in turning on my Wii for the first time in about a year. I agree with people saying Prime 3 looks better but I never bothered with it, Prime bores me very quickly for some reason.

This, Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dead Rising and others make me feel a little better for owning one even if they're rehashed ports or based mainly on potential. Shame about Fatal Frame.

Meh I think this game is stuck in the negative hype zone, as if it's taken on the identity of it's negative hype.

It's art direction isn't metroid prime, but it's not terrible. What do you expect for a world which tries to recreate DC in a pre-destruction look.If it's got too much fare you won't realize the location...

Also the gameplay hate... it looks to be Unreal like... why is that a bad thing?

It's something we wont know until we play it for ourselves. Pics and even game vids don't represent games too well as every time I buy a game it always looks a lot better on my T.V then anywhere else (mind you I have a normal T.V not HD).

An excellent game. But a 9.9? GameSpot couldn't break down and just give the game a 10?

It's a shame, the only flaw was the framerate, and even that wasn't that big of a problem, yet GTA IV gets a 10 and has some serious framerate problems at times, oh Gamespot never ceases to amaze me in inconsistency of reviewing games.

Impressive? I think the Wii could do better, but it's a very decent effort. Maybe it 'feels' that impressive simply because of the lack of anything else like it on the Wii.

The control scheme could save this game from the immediate bargain bin. I've never seen so many jaggies in a Wii game, and this is just the gameplay videos.
