    Falls short in every way

    The Conduit is a first person shooter for the Wii with quite a few flaws.   Seen as a game that could fill the void of mature action titles on the Wii, it sadly comes up short.   A generic feel in both graphical style and story jumps out from the start.   The controls come with plenty of options for you to try to find the right feel for you, but even that isn’t enough to make up for its shortcomings.   No matter what the setting, the controls never feel smooth or solid, and the shooting is not satisfying in any way.   Even the sound is poor all around, from the gunfire, enemies, and whoever is talking in your ear at any given moment.   The Conduit suffers from the phrase “good for a Wii game” being thrown around before and after its release, and that doesn’t make it a better game that it really is at its core.

      The Conduit is fun, but FPS' have moved on. 0

      The Conduit has been put in quite a tough position.  It's not only been pinned as "the savior for core gamers on Wii", but it's also been looked at by numerous publishers to see whether or not there's a core market worth investing in.  That's a pretty high bar raised for High Voltage, but ultimately, they do succeed... in most ways.  The Wii doesn't have many FPS titles, and the ones it does have are largely not worth anyone's time.  But this one does warrant giving a shot.The setup is simple.  ...
