    High Voltage seems like a great developer.  Despite they're old track record of shovelware, they're really putting effort into this game, and they have an attitude that pretty much every other Wii developer needs.

    Plus, the inclusion of 16 player multiplayer with voice chat is also a plus.  Wonder if they'll find their own way around Friend Codes too.  Maye The Conduit, along with Call of Duty: World at War on the Wii will finally start to bring more FPS games to the Wii.  FPS controls have already proven themselves on the Wii with Metroid Prime 3 and Medal of Honor Heroes: 2, and they really need to take advantage of this.

    Until they get a publisher, I'm in a wait and see mode, but it does look very nice, very nice indeed. Bring on the FPSs for the Wii please.

    I am highly anticipating this game as well. From the videos I've seen, the Conduit has the best FPS controls on the Wii, which is alone enough to at least have a mild interest in. The graphics are acceptable for the Wii and appear to be improving with every showing. My biggest concern is the level design and AI, two of three important things for a shooter. They've already got controls solidified, now they just need to have that same quality with those two aspects.

    I usually don't play FPS.  I like MP3 and Halo 3.  I am looking forward to the Conduit because it appears that High Voltage is trying to make the Conduit similar to those to games.

    I agree with you DE5, that they are aproaching this game with an attitude that all the other developers need to have when making a game for the Wii. It's great to see this with an original game that's made just for the Wii. I cant wait for this game, it looks great, I really really wanna play it.

    The Conduit is what will finally put every other third party publisher and PS2 port to shame.

    Yeah, definitely, but yeah, I am really anticipating The Conduit.  For me, Animal Crossing and The Conduit are the games to get in the coming months.

    From what I've seen I am pretty interested.  If they can put together a good title it should do well; the only competition they may have in that genre (that I can think of) would be the next Call of Duty

    It's really one of the only (if not the only) reason I'd ever touch my Wii again, except to play with my siblings.

    I hope the control scheme is similar to Prime 3, that's a great FPS!

    I'm really looking forward to this one so far.

    So how'd this game turn out?  It looked good.  I even have a Wii Zapper, but I didn't buy The Conduit.

    @dbz1995: Eh, Jeff's review doesn't really do the game much justice. Yes I realize it is his opinion and such (and hell mine isn't much different on the game than his) but you can clearly see from the video review and the original quick look that he didn't bother to mess with any of the control options or more importantly the bounding box. How do you make the turning feel better? Move the bounding box wayyy in. How do you make shooting feel more accurate? Use the stupid lock on feature obviously, since it centers the screen around a target and you can just shoot at the center of the screen. Also his comment about the game being built similar to Metroid Prime 3 I would say is a bit inaccurate as the game does a lot more similar things to Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 than MP3, just you know - barely anyone around these parts played MoHH2. 
     
    There are other reviews that nail a lot of the stuff better than Jeff's review did.

    Never watch giantbomb video reviews or quick looks for games that have controversial gameplay elements that can be turned one way or another in the magical "Options menu". For some reason, they NEVER check.
