Its a bad game, the only thing it has going for it is a good control scheme. I bought the game launch and took it back a month later.

I didn't find The Conduit a bad game, but I still loved Corruption (which may as well be the Wii's Killer app) better.

It was underrated in my opinion. It was very fun and is the best FPS on the Wii, just because some sheep hyped it as a halo killer why is it a bad game? Didnt Scribblenauts flop? it that a bad game? no. Im new around here so I just wanna know why so much hate for a fun Wii game?? PS - I think Gamespot rated it a 6.5 because there comparing it to ps3, 360 and PC shooters and of course Wii FPS games arent nearly as good as those systems but as a Wii FPS wouldnt it be like a solid 8.0?

Look at those pictures and tell me you want to spend 50$ to play this garbage.
This game deserves more hate than what it gets...This is probably the uglyest design i've seen in a FPS this gen. Wii is not done for fps but mini games so stick with that Nintendo plz and leave FPS's to big boys.

Why exacly would you need to customize your controller when its great already (Halo games,CoD games Gears and the rest) or you buying/renting games to tweak its controlls and spend atrocious time paying a boring game?

I tyred it once and like some1 else said The Conduit is like one of those games thatare made by no name companies evry month on the PC (if it was a PC game it would be unknown even by hardcore gamers). If you don't own a ps3/360 or gaming rig then okay that fine i guess cuz Wii has no FPS's but if you do own one of the other 3 i seriously don't know what the hell are you doing playing Conduit multiplayer which is sooooo generic its hard to find worst :(

It has one of the best stories this gen though, and Wii haters, I have proof. Read it and weep. Just because it has a good story, does not mean it was presented well.

Chojuto

I agree. The Conduit's story is vastly under appreciated.

It's not a good story, it's ripped from every conspiracy theory under the sun, there isn't a bit of creativity in it.

Um, I have to point out that your post is extremely misleading. Those screens are from the BETA. The models, textures, and even the HUD from the screens are nothing like in the final release. Look at the drone's heads. In the release version, they looked nothing like that. The textures in all of the stages of which those screens are from were completely redone before release. Even the health bar is WRONG. The healthbar was replaced with a thin green line.

Your post adds nothing of value to the discussion. It should be disregarded by anyone with with enough sense to see through your attempt at deceit.

Due to your blatant attempt at spreading misinformation, I must now assume that everything that you ever say from here on out is false.

EDIT: Even the gun reticule is wrong.

Lie. Every single one of the pics that you posted was from thet beta. It's immediately obvious due to the radically different HUD and the lower quality models. You specifically chose beta screens from the early development phase in order to falsely bolster your claim.

EDIT: The strange reticule is also a dead give-away.

Never quite understood how some belived it was hyped as a system saviour... as you said I said it was hyped 7-7.5... some even calling it the flop of the year.... I love it when some like too turn a blind eye to some things and belive what they want to belive.. Anyway it seems like a generic fps with some decent controls from what I have read.

First off, those are the earliest screens when the game was announced.

Second off, Wii not done for First Person games? You haven't seen this game, obviously:

It's obvious you don't own a Wii and have never played this game. Why would you heap more hate on it if it doesn't affect you at all?

its hated because it sucks. while technically wii games shouldnt be counted with the other console games because they are bad in comparison, review sites are going to review the game against its peers, and theres no way that a game like the conduit can stand against stuff like call of duty, halo, and killzone

Ohhh but you can be sure i don't own a Wii lol wut you want me to do with an overpriced GC? and about the conduit well sadly i tryed it once for its multiplayer and many times forits single player cuz for a laugh no FPS are more of a joke thanthis(in my opinion of course). I try to understand how could someone deffend this game (even a blind fanboy) and i just can't sry.

Maybe because they're good series? I can say that all PS3 fanboys only talk about Uncharted and God of War, and that all 360 fanboys only talk about Halo and Gears of War. It won't mean much, though, since these franchises are FLAGSHIP series. How can you not expect people to talk about them?

At least it gets attention on sw. There's a lot of decent/good fps that get none. Timeshift or section 8 to name a couple. But even good doesn't cut it in a genre loaded with great games

I enjoyed the Conduit. Never been able to get the hang of FPS's with game pads being a PC gamer, so having a console FPS I actually found playable on a console, even if it was generic, was great. Visuals were very variable though. Gameplay worked for me. Especially on harder levels.

The range in scores (common with Wii games) all comes down to how the reviewer got into the game, and got on with the controls.

People don't consider that an FPS for some arbitrary reason. The controls in The Conduit were fantastic, possibly the best controls I've played an FPS with. The single player was bland and generic but enjoyable to a certain extent, while the multiplayer was pretty damn fun. Sure hackers wrecked the game and could teleport across the map within a few months of release, but it was still pretty fun. I'd say a solid 7.0, which is GOOD. Not a TERRIBLE game as people seem to imply it is. But GOOD. Its Metascore is a 69, right around a 70, which equates to a 7.0 on GS> I repeat, that score means GOOD.

Good graphics?

Also the single player was below average, the MP was fun since the control in the game was so great, definitely better than the single player and I've played much worse online multiplayer games.
