Quick Look: The Conduit

It looks like it would good on an N64 but I doubt I would ever get this.

You guys need to tweak with the control settings to your liking.

Looks pretty fun to me. I won't buy it, probably give it a rent. I thought that if you spent some more time in the controls (maybe altered the dead zone a bit?) then they might have worked out better for you guys, but you were kicking some ass near the end of the video anyways.

Great bank shot with the frag, also, lol.

This game was a big risk for these guys. I hope it pays off for them.

I for some reason felt the same way watching this, especially since I'd seen a few very positive reviews for this game.  Especially since the main thing that people have been lauding is the control scheme and this quick look spent more than half the time tearing apart the controls.  *shrugs* "

I think this game seems pretty frickin sweet, personally. I'm totally picking it up.

" You guys need to tweak with the control settings to your liking. "

I hate the sub-line to this on the main page "FPS on Wii, does it work?" 

Of course it fucking works, Metroid, Medal Of Honor Heroes 2, and COD: WAW already proved that.  The question should be "is it any good?"

FPS games on Wii, if made correctly, are amazing, that was never a question.

" I think this game seems pretty frickin sweet, personally. I'm totally picking it up. "

doesn't look like much fun to just shoot aliens for no purpose ...
but summer is long and new games are rare, it could still be an okay purchase for now

heard good things about it for the most part. but i dont own a wii :/

Thanks Giant Bomb ... after watching that drunken motion sickness shit my TV is now covered in PUKE !!

Hercules!

" I couldn't stand watching more than 10 minutes, it looked like you have Parkison's. If you do, I'm sorry for your condition and I'm glad you can at least play on the button-based systems. If you don't, then I don't understand what you find so hard with POINTING, especially with all the options available to you in this game. Seriously, my little niece can control the Wii's cursor just fine, go through the initial menus, launch the game, control the options in Wii sports to choose the games she wants. And here we are, watching veteran gamers attempt to play a bog standard FPS with controls like any other FPS on the platform, and they can't fucking control a simple cursor without looking @ the ceiling or floor half the time, and always losing track of their enemies in the game's TUTORIAL AREA. What the fuck is wrong with you? "

You mean they don't have the same opinion as everyone else?! CHRIST!Anyway, this looks...bad. Seriously looks like they're playing a game from like 1998. The entire airport cycled the same two environments. Corridor, open space with balconies, corridor, open space with balconies and rinse and repeat. I actually got kind nausea watching them play this. In other words, I have a Wii. "

Eh so it has last gen graphics, buggy controls, generic story, bad animations, no physics....why should someone get this as opposed to any other fps 360/ps3 game? Seriously, is there any quality about this game which gives it a reason to exist? Kevin Sorbo aside.

This game looks terrible and generic. What a waste of the Wii's potential.
And why the hell wouldn't they push this game back a few weeks so they could integrate Wii Motion Plus support?

I guess if you are comparing it to Wii only shooters, then it's a good or even great game because what is it up against? Far Cry? Red Steel?. But dude... I have Crysis running on my computer, I have Halo 3, I have Half Life 2, and Bioshock. Why would I play this game?

Nintendo Fails Again................................................ NEVER!!!!

Jeff: "When I come to an FPS I come for precision, and that's not what this was" or something along those lines.

I don't usually get angry, but adjust your fucking control scheme then!  That's why all of those options are there!  And Wii FPS's are known for being ultra precise.

Sorry, i don't usually get angry at reviews or previews, but that just got to me.

Apply this to anyone freaking out over anything negative about this game.

I laugh every time a watch a Quick Look on this site. :D

Hardcore for the Wii ... not interested !

I have to say that these are not very accurate simulation of the metro stations or the Reagan airport.

" @SpinCookie: It doesn't help to adjust your control scheme when it's all cryptic slider bars that no one has any idea what they do. "

After playing this game for about an hour, I'm inclined to agree with the complaints of this quick look. Graphics are bad, controls are worse.

Looks like trash.

"They're distingrating so..."
"They're sick."

One thing that's strange is how unresponsive enemies are when you shoot them. When Ryan was doing his SCAR thing the guys up high didn't look like they were taking any damage until they  finally died. Ryan made the grenades look awesome.

I will probably rent this. Theres no way in hell it can be any worse than red steel

Looks kind of mediocre.

Wow people insult something you have not played. Thats the internet for ya. 

I was playing it earlier today  and had some similar problems with the control scheme before  I tweaked it a bit to my liking. I also switched Melee to Nunchuck shake and grenade toss to Wiimote thrust and that helped a lot for me. Overall, the environments feel rather bland, although the tweaked combat feels pretty nice to me. And I dove into multiplayer for a couple sessions and, I can't believe I'm saying this about a Wii game, but the multiplayer is probably the best component of this game. It just feels really really fucking fun.

I never had very high hopes for this game, and looks like I was right.  Still, Kevin Sorbo...it's probably worth at least a rent or a buy after a big price drop.

" Wow people insult something you have not played. Thats the internet for ya.  "

It seems like you can get used to the controls pretty fast like Ryan did.

Jeff and the Wii just don't mix.

It's Healthful!

I just want to make sure that we are clear it's the Fargate. "Goes far." Get it? And there is no way it came from that movie or that syndicated series based on the movie.

And I got sick watching you guys play that :/

This does look awful.  A mix between a Halo wannabe and a Half-Life wannabe. 

Man, I was excited for this game. It does not look good. I know it's hard to tell from a video, but it seemed like the controls were terrible. Maybe they just didn't have them set up very well.

Wow the AI looked totally busted. They'd just run up on Ryan and not shoot, then run away and forget where he was. Really steller work, High Voltage.

They could have probably spent more time configuring the controls to make it feel a bit more natural, but i guess the default could have been better in the first place.

It would also be nice to include an option to have the crosshair be a bit sticky. It looks awkward trying to get precision aiming while moving using the pointer.

" This doesn't look so good =/Kinda like black with aliens. "

Looks like a FPS that should have came out 10 years ago.
There are so many better shooters out there on the PC and 360/PS3, there is no reason to play this.

Haha that's some terrible cover art. Looks like its straight out of 1986.
