i dunno did i?  I'm Level 8 (without trying to do any quests)...obviously I don't care about these quests....but if I can deprive others, I shall do so.

Does it like negate it if "first" is in your comment?  That's funny.  I'll try to do that as much as possible now.

It first I when I saw the resolution was crappy I thought I must have accidentally switched off of HD, but then I remembered, this is a Wii game. It still blows my fucking mind that there is a modern console that doesn't support HD.

I support this! 

And isn't Hoffman Estates right outside Chicago?  That's not really the middle of nowhere to me.  Though, I guess I truly live in the 'middle of nowhere' Illinois being about two hours south of Chicago.

What happened to all of those people who insisted, and would fight you if you disagreed, that the Wii was the best way to control a FPS?

When will game developers learn that motion controls and FPS's just don't mix.

@Shane: Try the Metroid Prime Trilogy (if you can find it) or just Metroid Prime 3. They are still the best FPS' on the Wii to date. I dont know why no one else has tried to replicate what they did.

Still bemused as to why Wii (and Move, I suppose) FPSs have this rubbery arm failing thing going on. Why not just a reticle locked in the centre of the screen like every other game and move it around as you would with the mouse on the PC, just with the pointer. Some technical issue or what?

I've never seen a Wii game lock-up before.

I wonder in motion-control shooters, why they never control like a Mouse would for a PC game?
Instead of moving the reticule all over the screen and having weird turning, why not make these games so you move the screen with the remote rather than controlling a jumpy cross-hair?

Thinking about it now -- okay never mind.  The mouse is on a flat surface and is stable.  The controller is in your hand and the screen would be hopping all over the place like it is now, but worse.

 Glomar? Oh, that's probably a reference to the Glomar Explorer, this Howard Hughes vessel that was built to salvage a Soviet nuclear submarine back in the 70s.

A bell from the USS Cyclops? Oh, that was a Navy ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918. Kinda makes sense given the supernatural conspiracy tone of this series.

I thought the first game was fairly decent, despite its flaws.

This one looks like shit.

You can't strafe, turn, and aim at the same time, is the problem with wand-based FPSs.

I never heard one word, saw one preview, saw one commercial, or any kind of showing of this game for that matter. Unlike the first which was hyped up two years before its release: revealing?... I wonder...

But, those 'x look' and 'y look' options are what Ryan was after I think. 

You know, right under the Human / Trust / Custom camera options. Very intuitive.

I'm kinda interested in this for the b-movie nature of it. And I think you can play with a classic controller, right? It took me forever to play the first one 'cause it would hurt my arm if I played for more than 45 minutes.

I played the first and enjoyed the story line.  Sure it is nothing extravagant, but like the commenter before, it is a B movie style of story.  I will be picking up this game.... after it goes on sale.  $50 is too much.

Portal. Conduit. Stargate. Wormholes. They have many names, but they all do the same thing. Make instantaneous travel look fuckin' sweet.

Conduit 2 does have the option to play with a Classic Controller Pro. That's the way shooters should be played on a console, motion control is a horrible idea for FPS games.
