I was looking forward to this game for awhile then i saw the guys at giantbomb run through 30 minutes of it;

http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-the-conduit/17-929/

And sadly the single player looked..really rather bad. That put me off it all together really. I had heard mixed things about the multiplayer though. It's good apparently but on the other hand its already got hacker problems and dudes flying about maps. If that's true or not I don't know.

What i do know is I've yet to get a decent connection using my wii and an online smash brothers match, presuming i can get into one is sometimes laggy as hell so i wont be buying any wii title for multiplayer alone. :P

Gunna give this one a miss me thinks.

I don't know what it is with you, Creepy, with not liking good games.

Looks good, finally the Wii gets some mature content.

Looks terrible. If the Wii is going to try and appeal to a more mature audience, they need to do it well. No point using crap games because then the GP will associate crap mature games with the Wii.

Seems the majority agree with me on gaming sites/reviews, mass opinion in general.

The giant bomb video showed it all really. Throwing grenades is hard to do, voice acting is terrible, story seems awful, the graphics are bad but it's the wii i can overlook the graphics everytime, the controls really did not look like they worked very well. Awful A.I (at one point a soldier forgot he was attacking the player and started looking at a wall o.0) just bleh in general. Rooms and hallways all looked the same rather repetitive copy n paste in small unopen areas..i can go on and on.

It's the hardware. It's playing out like a shooter you'd have found 5-7 years ago because it's running on tech from the last generation of consoles. Which was fine back then but if you own the other consoles you've been spoilt and it's hard to go back. Look at the comments above bashing the graphics; that's about the best it can do.

With that said It'll probably fill the hole for the wii as it's not got many shooters but i can get better offerings on other consoles. Wii is just better suited for unique games, trying to match the 360/PS3 just isn't the right direction IMO

Madworld/house of the dead/resident evil/no more heros

All represent mature wii games done right. They just missed the ball this time round and spent to much time on graphics, which was pointless cause it was always going to look bad.

Just another typical shooting game between 200 others.

Nintendo should have sticked with what they're good at, Games like Mario and stuff. And let Micosoft and Sony makes mature games.

Actually, putting this out on the Wii is probably the best thing they could've done. If they had put it out on the Xbox or PS3 it would have just been immediately classified as a generic game, but they put it on the Wii and is getting a ton of sales and a hell of a lot more press. Plus it is showing that Wii games can have better graphics and is finally giving Wii owners an FPS which actually looks decent.
